[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Beretta 96G Elite 1A

Hey all,
Just picked this one up the other morning...haven't been to the range with her yet but am curious as to any info someone might have. I've been told that only a limited number of these were produced and the "G" designator was originally intended for LE use only. It has the same 1911 style grip as the Vertec as well as the accessory rail. I'd like to put on an adjustable target sight. Also need a good leather holster for it. Any help out there would be appreciated.

I would suggest a good bit of range time before you spring for the adj sights. Beretta has a rep for being wonderfully accurate, I know my 92FS is.

As for leather, there's a slew of top notch brands such as Bianchi, Galco, etc. Am Handgunner magazine has lots of cool ads for what you want.

I would like to suggest Fobus holsters. They're polymer so they shrug off water & moisture & never lose their shape. Leather isn't a gun finishes best friend, FWIW.

I envy you on your G model find!

New to this site, so I'm not sure how to post a pic of it. As for holsters, I've checked with Galco and other makers and they all say that because of the rail system, the standard 92/96 one's won't work. Guess I can send it off to Milt Sparks to have a summer special made. If you send me your e-mail address I'd be happy to send a pic of it. Take care guys.

You should contact the Beretta Guru Ernest Langdon, he worked for Beretta was the Elite and Elite IIs designer. www.langdontactical.com He installs sights and does probably the best trigger jobs on Berettas that you will ever see.

High Noon Holsters makes holsters for the Beretta Vertec which will fit. I love mine.
