Mine has been caked with mud, run wet, dry, dirty, dropped, thrown, etc. Not to mention, with one spring swap, it has IMHO the nicest SA trigger pull of any DA/SA auto, and a pretty damned smooth DA pull as well. My 92fs is my most abused and shot firearm, and it has yet to fail. I own HK's and Glocks, and I rank my Beretta reliability wise right up there with them. The Marine Corps is also making additional COTS purchases of M9A1s, as opposed to any SIG product.Īsk anyone who personally owns one how the feel about it.Īsk someone from the military who has used a shot out POS with checkmate mags and little to no maintenence.īottom line is, yours will fall into the first category.

The Sig has a slight advantage in overall length as far as concealed carry is concerned. It would be hard for me to pick one over the other, but I doubt you will regret buying either one. I carried my Beretta as a duty weapon and never had issues with accidentally engaging the safety (some people do, some do not).
WHAT DOES THE BERETTA D SPRING EQUAL TO IN WOLFF MANUAL
As far as the slide mounted safety is concerned, if you want a manual safety, buy Beretta. Both pistols are very close to one another as far as accuracy is concerned, but I think the Sig may have just a slight edge overall. Beretta's Bruniton finish is a bit better on their slides and tends to be a bit more rust resistant. The one thing I do not care for is the slide finish on the older Sig slides, as it is basically a phosphate finish (mine is currently being refinished by CGW ). Both have been absolutely reliable for several thousand rounds through each of them. I have an Italian 92FS stainless and an older West German built P-226 with the stamped slide.
You may need to replace a worn spring once every 5 years, but that's usually what, $6? I had a 92G Elite 1 and a Sig 226 at the same time, guess which one I still have? MJD Sig mags are more expensive and so are replacement parts, but under normal civilian circumstances, the parts just don't break. The grip feels a bit more narrow which I like too. If you have a good holster like a VM2, it can be carried easily. The 226 is smaller, has no safety, and feels better to me. It does have a slight edge in accuracy in my experience. Plus, it has a slide mounted safety which I find to be evil. The Beretta is heavier, wider, longer, and just all around bigger. I much prefer the Sig 226 to the Beretta 92. Get one with the stamped slide, they're better balanced than the new ones with the stainless slide. What I would advise you to do is get an older W. Read about it in the Sig forum here or over on. Many of their new production pistols are having difficulties that Sig does not fix even with repeated trips back to the manufacturer. Apparently their customer service has gone to hell and not come back.
