“An elegant weapon for a more civilized age” 

The Beretta 92FS Brigadier is designed to be a low-recoiling, high-durability version of the standard 92FS (M9) combat pistol. To minimize recoil, the slide features a heavy profile--which also enhances durability--and the grips are Hogue soft rubber wraparound panels that greatly absorb the momentum of the pistol upon firing. 

Striker fired pistols are all the rage, but for those who know the smooth trigger action of a hammer fired gun, there can be no substitutes. DA/SA guns are ideal for defensive and law enforcement work because of the inherent safety of a heavier double action first round trigger pull, followed by the crisp accuracy of successive rounds in single action. Police know that in confrontations, a law abiding person may neutralize an aggressor without a shot fired. The reality is that in defensive and police scenarios, a subject may submit to commands to surrender. Even then though, they may often be held at gunpoint until backup arrives- a precarious and tense moment. In these moments of adrenaline and combat stress, a double action trigger is a guard against a round being fired inadvertently. However, if the subject should choose violence, the single action follow up shots grant increased acurracy needed to fight and win the gunfight. This pistol has a manual external safety which doubles as a decocker. It is a design which has stood the test of time and has been setting the standards for military, police and tactical pistols for over a quarter century.

The reason is that it was designed--and has kept evolving--to be and remain one of the most accurate, durable and reliable semiauto handguns on the market. Easy to use, absolutely safe and delivering impressive firepower, it remains in use by the United States military, allied forces the world over, as well as of countless police and law-enforcement agencies. Heroes, both real and fictional have long carried the Beretta and now you can carry the same gun used on the silver screen by John McClane, Martin Riggs, as well as the real men and women of the United States Military and the LAPD.

Superior Reliability

The 92FS is a traditional double/single-action semiauto pistol that employs an open-slide, short-recoil delayed locking-block system, which yields a faster cycle time and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. In particular, the open-slide design practically eliminates “stove-piping” and helps flawless cycling and feeding even after thousands and thousands of rounds. The DA/SA action has a smooth double action trigger pull that prevents negligent discharge under stress, but all subsequent followup shots are light, crisp single action, guaranteeing you supreme accuracy to prevail and win the gunfight.

Match-Grade Accuracy out of the Box

To receive the military's acceptance as the M9, the 92FS had to consistently beat the US military requirement of a 10-shot group of 3” or less at 50 meters (just short of 55 yards). While this type of  match-grade accuracy is impressive, it is no magic. Beretta has absolutely precise tolerances to keep performance consistent shot after shot—which not only gives the 92FS its extraordinary accuracy, but it makes all factory parts interchangeable within the same model. Couple this to the ability to reliably feed every variety of commercial ammunition, and it is easy to understand why the 92FS remains the best pistol in its class.

Packed with Useful Tactical Features

This pistol offers a variety of tactical features that make it equally safe, easy to use and dependable in the holster of military personnel as well as for home or personal defense. Its reversible magazine release lets you use either hand for tactical magazine changes, while its ambidextrous safety-decocker makes it flexible for right- or left-handed persons or for shooters trying out different gripping or shooting styles.
