In the next week or two I'm planning on sending my 92a1 to wilson to up the neato factor. Been spending too much time looking over the work order form and find myself checking a lot more boxes than the wife unit would like. I'm comfortable changing out guide rods, safety/decocker, grips and hammer so I'm guessing the A1 package may not be for me. I do want checkering, magwell beveling, sights (changed the rear on my fs but don't wanna mess with the rounded front of the A1). Also a G conversion. Having cuts in the frame means it'll need refinishing. I'm ok with that. Is it worth dropping $100 to refinish the slide? Will it provide any more protection than factory finish or will it just match the rest of the gun?
Also am I foolish for not having Wilson set it up the way I ultimately want it to be right off the bat? Save a couple bucks now to pay it later. The credit card whispers in my ear "do it" but, hell, even the two dogs say "she'll kill you." |
well well well, I was just working on a video coverng this same topic baseed on my experience with Wilson. I will be updating this very soon..........

Just get the whole package. At 770 is just a little past your budget. Save for a few more weeks and go for it. It includes complete refinishing and everything. I did the idpa package on a M9A1. I also have a Brig Tac with action tune. You won't be sorry. It will work out to be $840 or more with shipping both ways, plus I'm sure they charge extra to convert to the G decocker setup. If you want a target crown barrel add $60, and if you want an elite hammer add another $45.... BAM $950 in a blink of an eye!!! |
| Wayne. You should know I scare easily. Anyone know if they put the leo/mil discount towards the parts includes in the package (sights, mag rel, guide rod, safety lever)? I'm going to email them in the AM. If opting for the package and G conversion it would essentially be purchasing the lever twice. Gonna see if theres a reduced price if getting both done at the same time. |

Why not sell your pistol and buy a Wilson Combat Beretta? I just picked up a 92 G Wilson Combat Beretta Compact and so far I love it. I bought the full sized WC D model when they first came out and it didn't trip my trigger. The Compact is totally different.
I did add the action job and I might send the full size in for some tweaking. With my military discount I paid $1100 including the action job. That isn't too much more than you're looking at. FWIW. |
| I just picked up the 92G Compact, very nice gun. I plan to switch to the short reach trigger, ultra thin grips, single sided decocker, and play around with their action tune kit. As is, the da/sa pull are quite nice, just want to see what their trigger bar can do. |
