Beretta 92fs vs beretta brigadier?

Here is a photo:

Honestly, I think they made a mistake.

Now, the black small parts - that has been on ALL USA made Inox models for years. And yes, the current Inox Brigadiers all have black parts for the safety levers and some of the other small parts. When I bought my Brig, I had a choice between an Inox and black model. I like stainless for most guns - but on Beretta 92s, I only like black for some strange reason.

Anyway - I keep in the know about Beretta 92 variants. Sometimes some big stores can and will customize some unusual variant where a part has been changed... Like Gander Mountain had black frames with stainless uppers a few years back. Cabelas had some two tone models they sold as well. Beretta has also occasionally sold 92FS models with an M9 frame, and vice versa...

But, I've seen zero about any of the new Brigs coming with any other barrel size but 4.9". However, the older E Lite II had a 4.7" barrel... Basically, the barrel stopped at the end of the slide, instead of sticking further out like they normally do.

I think there has been some mistake about a 4.25" barrel. It won't work on a fullsize slide. Either it's an Inox compact (shorter barrel), or just a regular Inox Brig, and someone is mistaken. I suppose it is POSSIBLE that there is a special, unannounced run of Inox Brigs with 4.7" barrels. But once again, I've seen ZERO on it. But not 4.25" barrels.

Please let us know what you have when you get it. But yes, be aware that ANY Inox model made in the USA (which the current Brigs are) will have black small parts. Right now, only the Italian made standard 92 models in Inox have matching silver small parts. The USA Inox models made this change several years ago.
