92FS vs. elite II
What are the differences?
I have a 92fs, and looking at a 2 tone elite II.
Thanks.
The Elite has the following:
* G Configuration (Decock Only)
* Factory "D" Spring
* Front Cocking Serrations
* Novak Sights
* Extended Magazine Release
* Target Crown
* Skeleton Hammer
* Checkering on front & back straps.
* Magazine Bevel
If you can get an Elite II, jump on it. They were only made for 5 years.
And the stainless Brigadier slide - my favorite feature. Heftier & has dovetailed removeable front sight. Also looks better IMHO.
I have both...sort of. Upper is standard 92 and lower is Elite II. Came from the factory like that. Only 30 made. I think it is pretty cool. My wife looks at me like I have two heads if I mention it.
if you can get an Elite II then get it. Grip is better and they are not easy to find. You can get a standard 92 anytime.
The Elite series are built off of the 'G' model platform. A 9mm Elite II model will go for a premium.

What does a Elite II 9mm go for thses days?
There's one on Gunbroker now for $800, no bids. This isn't out of line. $700 or less is a good buy. I bought one last year around Christmas for $575 including CT laser grips. Dirtiest gun I've ever bought, but it cleaned up real nice. Three recently sold on Auction Arms for about $500 but they had H.P.D. engraved on the side. I should have bought one of these.
I got my original Elite for $600 earlier this year. I'm not on the lookout for an Elite II but if I ever see one at my LGS, I'll be sure to pick it up.

Absolutely gorgeous pistols gentlemen. WTH doesn't Beretta make these anymore?
I love my EII !

Maybe it was the original prices, not sure really. I think they should bring back the Elite's and make decocker only/G models on a regular basis.
