Analysis

Beretta cataloged the 92G-SD (Special Duty) in 2003 as J92GSD1. The G slide, taken from the French G1 pattern, drops the hammer without putting the pistol on safe. The rest of the package was a railed frame, a Brigadier slide with removable sights, a stainless match barrel, and tritium lamps. Blue Book closes the first window after 2005. A second factory run of a few hundred guns appeared in 2014–2015. That configuration later became the starting point for the Wilson Combat 92G Brigadier Tactical. Used examples are scarce next to a plain 92FS or 92FS Brigadier; boxed first-run and 2015 guns with night sights intact sit at the top of the value range.
