Shouldn't you contact WC about this? This is the gun they spec'ed/built.
Staking the sight to slide? What? Never heard of this. Maybe the staking caused vibrations strong enough to loosen whatever that you lost. Eek

I sent Wilson an email as well.

I did post another thread about the sight issue, seems this has been seen before on Ameriglo sights.

Does anyone else’s Wilson-Beretta’s front sight got a divot securing it? Clearly mine had a punch taken to it.

Wilson doesn't touch them unless additional action work is requested.

Beretta builds the guns and handles warranty claims.

Yep. I like be these Berettas and have two of them, but it kind of annoys me that people refers to these as “Wilson’s.” They’re not Wilson’s at all. If I build a gun with Wilson parts, would you buy it from me as a “Wilson?”

They are fantastic shooters and I’ll buy another version if they come out with one (I sadly missed the Compact model), but these are Berettas made by Beretta and they should get the credit they deserve for putting out a fantastic gun.

Wilson simply told Beretta what people actually wanted from them....which I find amazing that Beretta couldn’t seem to figure out on their own, but they obviously couldn’t.

Ok, so Beretta built them, using WC parts. So, they call them WC Beretta or Beretta/Wilson. In fact, that's exactly what WC website calls them, the Beretta/Wilson 92G Brigadier Tactical and the Beretta/Wilson Combat 92G Centurion Tactical. You want to get annoyed? Get annoyed with WC, too.

I can't agree more! There is a several page thread on a different forum about a customer who is complaining about a loose slide/frame fit, understandable given that these are advertised as having a tighter tolerance although there isn't any tangible measurement or demonstration as to how loose it really is. It certainly may be legitimate, and I am not saying it isn't, but I just don't know. WC told him to return it to Beretta as Beretta is who is responsible for handling warranty issues per WC website. Several are running down WC for this. I am sure WC would go to bat for this guy with Beretta if need be, but what is WC supposed to do about it in the meantime?? Send it off to Beretta I guess, thereby delaying the process needlessly. Some people seem to confuse effective CS with having to have their ass kissed.

Just to finalize, new front sight from Ameriglo on the way.

Anyone know of any holster makers that are making OWB kydex holsters for the CenTac?

None, and I've been looking. I need to get Appalachian Concealment out of storage and I'll be molding Kydex from my gun.

That is a beautiful pistol! I am a big fan of the Beretta 92 series of pistols and the Centurion Tactical is drool worthy. I am very jealous!

I think I emailed someone last week to check but never heard back. Wink Big Grin

The Bladetech listed on their site is technically listed for the BrigTac.
I assume a CenTac would fit in the same holster, but don't know if there's enough slide differences to cause a fit issue.

Agree, my local gun shop had to order mine from Wilson. Should be receiving it by the weekend.

Mine came in today. Didn't get the action tune but this trigger is just as smooth (if not smoother) than my P229 Elite ASE.
