It’s the heavy slide that will decrease recoil not the grip. The grip just feels nice. I love this hand gun. It’s my go to 🤙
Did you have to get a special holster for the Brigadier model, or is that just a standard 92 holster? What brand is it?
92x also has a great mag release

Great vid! I’m now comparing many 92 models to find one for myself. And I’ll probably go with the 92FS Brigadier Inox (if I’m able to get a hold of one) because of the replaceable sights and still a lower price than 92X Performance 🙂
I forgot to mention, instillation of, or how to video’s on some of your upgrades are kind of important.
The Brigadier slide came out as an attempt to reinforce the locking area.
I absolutely Love my Brig. I didn’t want a rail, the trijicon’s from factory are nice, I had Better mags on hand and I’ve converted it to a G De-cocker as with most of my other Berettas. Side note, I have used a Beretta "Gun Caboodle" for organizing make up as well as a purse a few times. I’m sure I’m not the only girl who has done this.
He has leg warmers for his arms!?
Honestly if I could get a brig slide for my 92a1 I’d call it the ultimate beretta
Man I miss my beretta
Maybe when they say the grips reduce recoil, they meant the rubber finger grooves at the front help you control muzzle flip by giving your fingers more traction or something.
I just bought one today. Can’t you get an extended magazine for this weapon that’ll extend the grip length a bit and accommodate 2 more rounds?
I need a holster for mine.

Great review! The thicker slide is definitely a welcome design.
Comment.
world class comment
🤟🤟
My favorite single action trigger pull. Yes even more than the 1911.
A heavier brig slide does not reduce recoil, it likely exacerbates it. The brig slide was beefed up because of catastrophic failures on earlier models, which they wrongly attributed to slide strength, when the actual issue was over pressured out of spec ammo.
Great content
The cool thing with Beretta’s is all the uppers and barrels are swappable ( except the compact and centurion those interchange with each other) .
Also, Beretta has a factory takedown gas pedal from the 92x Performance model.
Replace hammer spring with reduced power hammer spring — reduces trigger pull by several pounds. Takes about 2 minutes to change and costs just a few bucks. Dramatically changes the shooting experience for the better.
Nice vid amigo
Great content. Thanks!
This dude is a jackass! Why didn’t he just purchase one of the many other Beretta variants with a railed frame? He bought the older variant just to complain about it, good one…. Don’t bitch!
You can get them with the rail, and you can install an extended mag release, such as that made by Wilson Combat. You can also install lighter weight hammer springs (such as the Beretta D spring) to reduce the weight of the double action pull.

Questions, so i own a typical Beretta 92fs with the regular slide, would i be able to swap the slide with a Brigadier slide instead? And last question, which is the best way to acquire a brigadier slide aside from just purchasing a whole other firearm?
I really like the Brigadier. Very smooth, comfortable and controllable gun.
Berettas look better without rails sorry but true, hope they never stop making their pistols without rails.
Great review!
Very intelligent review. Thank you
Your review is excellent, however this gun is extremally difficult to find as a matter of fact, I have been looking for this gun for a very long time. Is this particular gun making a come back. I sure hope so and they a compact model.
ur mom gay
I just bought the 92fs last month by far my favorite handgun. Just need to change out a few parts and it’ll be perfect
Wow finally a gun he doesn’t get butthurt about
do a regular fs, or 92x
My favorite Beretta is the Elite. Managed to get my hands on 3. Love the Beretta
I recently bought a Beretta Brigadier from a local gun shop. They do seem to be “rarer than hens teeth.” However, I got a decent deal and extra magazines from the dealer. This firearm works perfect for me, fits great in my hand and I’m very happy with it.
Great review. Thank you
92 fanboy here. Need rail. So, M9A1 with A3 slide…
Thank you for taking the time to put out great content in an entertaining way!
I loved the M9s I got issued. Carried them all day, flew with them all day, shot great groups.
The D spring was THE best thing to happen to the 92/96 (via the D models) ever. They are a must. Night and day difference.
Even better is a LTT trigger.
Got get it as a 92G with added Bill Wilson replacement part except for the trigger bar, get a Langdon. Haha
BY THE WAY….
THAT’S A ASTON MARTIN VICTOR….
It’s handmade by Aston Martin and it’s the only one in the world that exists….
Beretta 92G-SD best in my opinion besides the 92X line! 92G-SD line needs more love!
15 rounds?? try Old Cali 10rds…….
