So early last year, I was inquiring about some guns, and found some data about supposedly a Beretta Elite III was supposed to be released in the third quarter of 2008.
So far I haven't seen anything. To be honest, I don't even know what special features were going to be on the gun.
I currenltly own a Beretta Elite IA.
This included the heavier Brigadier bruniton slide with front serrations and Elite designation, silver stainless barrel, thin skeletonized hammer, and bevel of the magazine well. A flat hammer spring cap was standard as well as the decock only (G-Model) feature and dovetailed front sight.
I also have a Beretta Elite II 96.
This option replaced the Elite I option in 2001 and includes the same features as the original Elite plus removable Novak type sights, extended magazine release catch, checkered front/rear grip strap, thicker (than Elite I) skeletonized hammer, and lighter D-spring. This option is available only with the stainless G-Model slide, also with front serrations. The stainless barrel for the Elite II has a target crown.
Anyone have any insight on what the Elite III is supposed to have? I found some reference in Wikipedia, but with no details (and also noting a third quarter 2008 release).
