Analysis

Beretta added the Inox Brigadier to the 96 line in 2000, the same year as the 92FS Brigadier Inox. Catalog code J960560 listed at $845 in the mid-2000s. The thicker slide and dovetailed sights follow the black 96 Brigadier; the stainless slide and barrel sit on a gray frame. Regular production closed with the rest of the non-A1 96 catalogs in the mid-2000s. Used boxed examples sit a step above a Bruniton 96 Brigadier in value.
