    Wilson Combat Custom Shop Beretta (Centurion)...... Here's a video that I just uploaded detailing my experience with Wilson Combat. I love the overall gun and how it came out, but I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth in regards to the entire experience. This video is an attempt to let others know what to expect, and avoid when sending guns out for custom work. Enjoy........:D

    Where they send me.
    Glad you're happy with it in the end. Custom work can be nerve wracking! It always stresses me out at least.

    I try to stick to a local smith these days since I get to talk with him and with the item on the table it helps to keep things clear.

    Wilson does nice work and I like Beretta so I think you have a winner there!

    Thanks, you have a valid point about keeping things local. I am going to try and do that with my next project my Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded. I am tired of the stainless look and some of the MIM parts, trigger needs work, cerakote finish with a threaded barrel and I think I will have a winner!

    Wow, beautiful job. I didn't know they had gray and black G10's.

    So when you get the Custom Carry package for the FS, what does "Custom Carry Safety De-Cocker" mean then if it is not the G conversion ?

    Good question, according to them it means "standard" Lol.. The G conversion is an added feature that must be requested specifically.

    They won't admit fault! Here is the decock/safety they call their custom carry lo profile safety (this is the one I expected)

    The black/gray grips are fairly new and comes standard with their new compact carry gun:
