The Brigadier variant uses a heavier slide and includes a dovetailed, replaceable front sight, paired with a dovetailed rear sight. The open-top slide design is characteristic of the Beretta 90-series and is finished in stainless to match the Inox configuration.
The pistol operates on a DA/SA short-recoil, locking-block system. Controls include an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker with a firing pin block and FS slide retention system, plus a reversible magazine release. A spur hammer and black wraparound rubber grips with molded PB logos complete the control and handling package.
Construction is centered around a stainless steel barrel marked "STAINLESS," a stainless-finished slide, and a silver-anodized aluminum alloy frame. The non-railed, classic full-size alloy frame maintains the original 96FS profile.
Sight picture is provided by fixed 3-dot sights with a 6.3 in sight radius. Capacity is 10+1 rounds of .40 S&W. Key dimensions include a 4.9 in barrel, 8.5 in overall length, 5.5 in height, and 1.5 in width, with an unloaded weight of 35.3 oz.
This U.S.-made example carries the Beretta U.S.A. Corp., Accokeek, MD rollmark, aligning it with domestic 96 Brigadier FS production while retaining the signature 90-series features enthusiasts expect.
