Beretta:Wilson 92G = Nice!!

[Mr.Revolverguy]

A friend let me do this table top review of this Beretta/Wilson 92G. I shot the 92 so much in the military they had become boring to me. But this has renewed my interest.

Double Action Trigger a smooth 6 pounds are you kidding me
Single Action is 3 pounds.

It is one of the more balanced pistols i have shot in a very long time.



Anyone else owns one what do you think? Also I have seen some come with a fluted recoil guide rod but this one isn't. Is there any real benefit to the fluting in a guide rod other than shaving weight?

If you haven't been following the Beretta 92 world, there have been a whole bunch of options that have popped up in the past few years.

Along with Wilson Combat, Langdon Tactical has been a big player as has been Beretta themselves.

I believe the fluting advantage is to keep debris from locking up spring/guide rod.

Edit to add:

From Wilson's page...

Unique spiral flute design holds lubrication and traps grit ensuring smooth spring travel.

On that page it says not caompatible with the Centurion model. Though I have seen a Centurion Wilson model with that recoil guide rod in it. That's what I am curious about maybe they discontinued it for the Centurion model.

You didn't say you wanted one, I thought you were just asking what the purpose was.

Here's the fluted guide rod for the Compact/Centurion https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Wilson...a-92_96-Pre-Series-L-Compact/productinfo/692/
