Beretta Elite question
- Thread starter mvdemarco
- Start date
i dont think it would be incorrect to say the elite is refined. the trigger has a D spring which lowers trigger pull. the hammer is skeletonized for quicker lock time. mag well is beveled. front sight is dovetailed. front cocking serrations. brigadier slide. front dot, rear black novaks. checkering instead of vertical lines. rubber basepads.
probably missed something but it isnt coming to me.

from the Beretta L faq:
Q: How is an Elite different from a normal Brigadier? How is the Elite II different from the Elite?
The Beretta 92G Elite and 96G Elite were designed with IDPA-style action pistol competition in mind. However, many people consider them "what the 92 should have been in the first place".
The Elite has the same heavy countoured slide as a Brigadier, but serrations at the front of the slide make loading and unloading the gun easier for some. The barrel is stainless and chopped to 4.7" so that it is flush with the front of the slide. The magazine well is beveled slightly, and the lanyard loop is replaced with a flat hammer spring cap (no lanyard loop like the 92FS). The hammer is skeletonized. The magazines which come with the Elite have thick, rounded rubber base pads. As the gun's model number indicates, all Elites are "G" model decocker-only guns.
The Elite II is the next step forward from the Elite (the Elite has been discontinued). The slide is a stainless steel Brigadier style with the front cocking serrations. The front and backstraps of the grip are machine checkered as opposed to the vertical serrations normal on Berettas. The barrel is a 4.7" stainless with a target crown. The magazine release button is slightly enlarged. Rear sight is a Novak low-mount, front sight is a thin serrated all-black. The gun comes straight from the factory with a 92D-model hammer spring which reduces trigger pull weight and stacking.
