Got our shipment in today. They look great, but there are only 500 of them being built. This is one of the FEW guns that I have collected over the years and is one of my favorites. Some pics for you guys.

**** me…
We in CA have been buying this for the past month… I yet still need to get one. =0)
Forgive me, but I haven’t kept up on Beretta.
How is this different than a garden variety 92?
Thanks.
ETA: Dumb question. I went to your site and looked it up. It’s a G + extras…really gotta slow down when I read the forums.
Beretta could make that with and without a rail and quit making every other loser 92 variant and they’d be back on the map in 2015.
A wealth of knowledge from Grant himself:
https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?120601-Beretta-92G-SD
To be honest this is probably the only model Beretta should make. Unless they decided to offer a model with all of this and the frame mounted thumb safety from the Combat frame with the option to convert to de-cocker, then that would be the only model they should make.
What is MSRP?
Just went in to G&R and snagged one. Thanks!
A 92G-SD without the rail = 92G Brigadier. They are re-releasing the 92FS Brigadier now.
I’ve seen a few of the new SD at a big dealer here in Georgia for a couple of weeks now. With a limited production of 500, they won’t last long.
Not sure, but street price is about $1200. Or what the Wilson Combat gun is going for.
Seems like a pretty obvious choice between this and the Wilson, to me.
If anyone bothered to go to Grant’s website and look, HIS price is $1150. That is the best price I’ve seen for this gun. The local stores near me had prices going up to $200 more than Grant’s. I’ve seen $1200 to $1350 !
At the SHOT show, a Beretta rep told me the MSRP will be $1300.
I’m not really the scornful type, but at $1150, I’d have to agree with this. UNLESS you just like Beretta’s the way they are. I did just put money down on a 92FS Brigadier 
The Wilsons are out of stock.
And backorder-able.
But I guess if you’re wanting instant gratification (and I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing), it’s your money, not mine. If it makes you happy…
Agree.

We are selling them for $1150 currently.

That is what I ended up doing. I came SO, SO close to buying the Wilson model. But I sold off all my 92 variants with rails a while back. The gun balances better without the rail, IMHO. In the end, I just got a Brig and did a couple of mods to it. I’m satisfied. I think that they could sell a lot of these guns over time, and it’s too bad that they are only making 500. That seems rather a dumb move. But, while it’s tempting to snag one for an investment, I won’t.
Beretta is relying on the allure to move these… if they made them a regular part of the line-up, they wouldn’t be able to command that price.
As it stands, the 92G-SD begs comparison with the SIG MK25, IMO, as both are full sized service pistols with decockers and factory night sights.
With the MK25 coming in at $250-$300 less, and with an extra mag in the box? I’ll take the SIG all day-and-tomorrow.
Still, I’d love to own a 92G-SD if they were similarly priced with the 92A1. I’m not seeing all the extra value in one set of internals vs. another or those extra cuts for the checkering.
So…they’re relying on collectors and people that are stupid enough to buy into the illusory lure of exclusivity? More power to that asshatterey…
I handled one of these today. The price tag read 1260 bucks. I laughed…hard. What a steaming hunk of turd this thing is for the price that you pay. They could at least offer it up with a trigger job or maybe a barsto barrel? From a performance standpoint, this gun offers you a G option and a heavier, brig slide that really isnt necessary unless you’re throwing nato spec ammo at it all day. The guns design served a purpose and i think that Super Dave did a great job essentially putting lipstick on a pig.
Wait for an M9A3 or if you’ve got to have it, buy it from Grant, his price is not going to be beat.
I have always wanted a 92G-SD as a collector. I could not wait for the Beretta version, so I picked up one from Wilson. I was worried I would not get a SD with the low numbers being made. But just ordered a SD from Grant. I can wait to get it.
