I got a Beretta 92G Vertec Police Trade-In, and sent it off to Wilson Combat to let them do their magic. The Beretta looks like it wasn't shot very much, but the exterior was pretty rough. Well, it looks like a masterpiece now, and shoots like a dream. It's not cheap to get the Wilson Combat treatment, but this is a handgun that I'll keep forever, and then hand down through the generations. Thought you might enjoy the pictures. Here's the spec sheet:
Wilson Combat Parts: • G10 Vertec Gray/Black Grips with Hex Grip Screws • Short Reach Steel Trigger • Deluxe Hammer • Oversize Checkered Steel Magazine Release • Red Fiber Optic Front Sight • Flat Square Notch Rear Sight • Fluted Steel Guide Rod • Chrome Silicon Spring Kit Wilson Combat Custimization: • Armor-Tuff Gray: Frame and Slide • Armor-Tuff Black: Everything Else • Checker Frontstrap and Backstrap • De-Horn • Contour Magazine Well • Action Tune Before Pictures:

Beautiful work by Wilson. I own a WC Brigidier Tactical and love it. Those police trade-in 92G Vertec's are not cheap.

I just want to know where you got a 92G police trade in.

Was the right side safety a little loose and wiggly before you sent it in? Were those factory night sights with white nail polish in them beforr the Wilson sights?

Nice. What kind of cost? As they say, "Buy once, cry once". I'm over my crying now, so I can enjoy it! |

It's a very nice pistol and I don't mean to be a dick but in the 1911 world that rear sight would be called a "dead cat". Enough daylight under it that you could throw a dead cat through it. I would not have expected that from Wilson.....

Yes, the right side lever was loose, and it was pretty scuffed up too. I actually bought a replacement decocker lever from Allegheny Arms & Gun Works. That was the only place I could find a Beretta OEM steel decocker lever. They charged $45 shipped for the replacement lever. I just sent that in to Wilson Combat, along with the pistol. I thought about just getting Wilson Combat's single-sided decocker lever, but I like the ambi ones better. The original sights were 3-dot sights. They weren't tritium sights, just white paint dots. I bought the Police Trade-In off GunBroker for $750. The replacement decocker lever was $45. And the Wilson Combat bill was around $800. As they say, "Buy once, cry once". I'm over my crying now, so I can enjoy it! |

Wilson Combat Beretta work isn't cheap but their work is second to none and the people that work there are super solid on the phone during planning and other communications. None of that disappearing act, 6 month wait bullcrap that other gunsmiths pull. Thanks for sharing. |

I have my Vertec on the way to AGW. After researching it I felt I got a better deal with AGW. I am having the front and back strap checkered, the magwell bevel blended and lengthened, trigger and action job done, the barrel is getting an E2 crown, and the frame re-anodized along with the slide and barrel refinished.
I already added the WC mag guide, WC fluted guide rod with flat wire conversion, extended mag catch, E2 hammer, short reach trigger, TCU, WC #14 HS, WC sights with tritium front, LOK grips G10 grips, and WC standard profile single side safety.
