Got it off EE from blueinterceptor, slightly used, a great deal for $400 shipped to my FFL dealer. blue even sent me new style grip screws for it! Police special, triijicon night sights, came with 3 hicap mags They've been out of production since 1996 on the civilian market but Beretta Defense's web page shows it as a current offering www.berettadefence.com/INGLESE/default_92_centurion_brigadier_stock.htm

I've seen some police surplus that would be rated at about NRA VG+ with definite holster&handling wear but appear to have been fired little {definitely not as nice looking as what AssaultRifler got} for $300 delivered with FFL charges. So, I gather that this would be a good piece to have on a BOB? Regards, wganz ¶ |
Yeah, but the hammer pivot pin under the left grip is a bit different too for some reason, no big deal. Take a look at this pic, the left is the 92 Centurion, the right is the 96 Centurion, see the round button on the 96? It's there too on the 92 but didnt photograph well. The lesson being if you're going to replace grips on a centurion, the left one will have to have the cut out circle as shown on the grip in the right. The one one the left will not fit properly because it doesn't have the cut out circle in the grip.

That oversized pin head is the "S" ("Safety") in "SF" as opposed to "F" models. You will see a corresponding groove cut into the underside of your slide rail on that side. This is so the slide will not come off of the gun should it separate...which an infitesimal few 92Fs did with over-pressure loads. I do not know if all Centurions are SF models or not, but yours both are if they have that big pin head. It cost Beretta over $300,000 just to remake the mould for that grip! |
