The 92FS Brigadier is a higher durability, lower recoil version of Beretta's renowned 92 and M9 series handguns. The slide has been upgraded with a heavier profile to cut down on recoil and muzzle rise, which also gives the 92FS Brigadier better durability. To cut down on recoil even further, the 92FS Brigadier is outfitted with soft rubber Hogue wrap around grips with finger grooves.
Like previous iterations of the 92, the 92FS Brigadier features an open slide design which virtually eliminates stove-piping and allows the user to load and chamber one cartridge at a time should the magazine be lost or damaged. The 92FS Brigadier utilizes a visible automatic firing pin block, where front part of the firing pin is blocked from any forward movement until the trigger is pulled completely back. The block is located rearward, far away from the fouling and debris of the breech face. Since the block is visible, the user may ascertain its proper operation at any time. Even if the pistol falls and strikes the ground muzzle down, the firing pin will not strike the primer. To enhance safety even further, the 92FS Brigadier features an ambidextrous safety lever, which is easily accessible by the thumb of a right or left handed shooter, and is spring loaded so it’s either positively ‘on’ or ‘off’ . The safety lever also functions as the pistol’s decocking lever. When pushed down, the rear part of the firing pin (striker) is rotated out of alignment with the front part of the firing pin. Additional hammer drop catch (half-cock notch prevents striking of the firing pin unit) in the remote chance of unintentional hammer drop.
