    The real story about Army and Beretta...

    I don't think the Mr. Army hates Beretta, he just fell out of love when he realized that she’s just an over rated Italian with nice curves but on the heavy side. For a big girl that she is, she is very limited on what she can carry (especially if you compare it to the slim and sexy Austrian with a lot of plastic in her). Her "happy" switch is on a weird place, which is kind of difficult sometimes for Mr. Army to reach with his thumb, which almost always guarantees to have both of them in awkward position. Also unlike most of the modern models nowadays, you cannot attach accessories to Beretta, she prides herself of being an old fashion kind of gal and considers old school to be cool. But what she doesn’t understand is that having those ultra-high output Surefire lights attached to her really brings out her tactical eyes. She still believes that black is the in color, but what she doesn't realize is that FDE is the new black. Mr. Army being a fashionista knows that because in the past 20 years he himself transitioned himself to 3 to 4 uniforms. But I think what took the cake was she can’t “bang” as powerful as Mr. Army’s ex-wife Mrs. 1911, she may only carry seven but boy does she carry big kahoonas!

    However, Mr. Army and Beretta stuck together for more than 20+ years, surviving various conflicts all over the world. There where rumored issues with Beretta not performing up to par especially when middle east sand gets into her hole, magazine insertion hole that is. None the less they stuck with each other. And after all these years, I could honestly say that Beretta eventually let herself go. (Mr. Army is partly to be blamed though because of all the high stress and abuse that he gave her, I'm not saying Army is abusive, its just part of his job hazard). But Beretta is just a stubborn lady; she won't listen nor give in to the physical needs of Mr. Army. So I guess he got tired and bored of her, and he started looking at other models. After all, he is a rich dirty old man, so all these models are vying for his money.. Eherm.. I mean loving attention.

    But one day Berretta had a wakeup call ( she probably realized that money's about to go out the window) and made a drastic makeover to save her relationship with his partner. She had some liposuction done and cut down some size on the lower part of her body. She had new hair color, coyote brown, with streaks of FDE, and she is now willing to accessorize with those sexy 1913 rails. She even got a new nickname! And hot dang she looks hot and sexy! She also added some new mouth piece, so that Mr. Army can silence her in demand! (Talk about that feature right there, bet that would be handy in most situations ) But sadly at the end Mr. Army just had enough and he decides to divorce her.





    Still better love story than Twilight.

            The Beretta 92FS is an awesome gun! The first time I shot one, I was amazed with how it performed. For me, the size and the big grip made it very soft-shooting.

              I have a 92FS Inox and 92G Brigadier and like how smooth the slide racks back. I definitely like the look and how it shoots.

                The M9A3 is just a Inox Vertec with a different finish and more rail cut outs. The Inox Vertec is on the roster so if you want a M9A3 you can get very close. I dislike the 92 mainly because of the grip, I just can't get a good grip on the gun. I also dislike the spongy trigger....

                EDIT:

                With that said, I'm sure I can become a decent shot with the gun with enough practice.

                  This.

                  I had one, once upon a time, and did in fact like it. The grip fit my hand very well, the recoil was extremely mild, and once I learned how to grip it properly (after I had cut my teeth and gotten used to a CZ-75b), very accurate for me.

                  I didn't like that it was a huge honking pistol for such a smallish round. I didn't like that the safety was "backward"; my muscle memory shooting the CZ and 1911s taught me "up for safe, down to fire," and I especially didn't like that the double action pull was even longer and tougher than a CZ-75, which is saying something.

                  All in all, though, I think it was a very nice pistol. It certainly had that air of quality and refinement about it which most polymer guns and some 1911s just dont. I may eventually get one again, but my main thing with it was that, for such a large, service-sized pistol, I'd rather be packing something like a 1911.

                      My only real complaint is the stupid non-replaceable front sight. That said, just sold a CZ75 and Beretta 92FS and bought a new Brigadier. And have $450.00 left over.

                      DA trigger weight is an easy fix. DA trigger action is just something else to master. Lack of adjustable rear sight option bug me, but I only use my guns to shoot USPSA and other gun games, so it just forces me to spend a bit of money finding sight combination that works then DON'T CHANGE LOAD.

                      They look cool, they're reliable, accurate, I have a supply of standard capacity mags and they're affordable. For what I do, I don't care about the weight, it happens to fit my hands (though I'm not too picky here, I shoot Glocks, 1911s and an old Colt Army Special). I'm not a National Champion, Grand Master or any other pistol hot-shot. Just a guy who likes shooting these gun games. And the Beretta is another toy.

                      I do wish I could get a G model, but the FS hasn't bothered me, so that's more of a want than a need.

                      I don't like or hate any guns. I have guns I want and guns I want nothing to do with (unless my home is being invaded by miscreants, then I want any gun I can get my hands on!!!).

                        i have a 92f purchased in the late 80's and recently bought an inox brig both in 9mm. I love the looks of the 92, especially the inox but I have to say, my 92fs has never been accurate, and as far as reliability, well, its not a glock... by that i mean it stovepipes occasionally maybe 1 outta 150 rounds. IMO, their is a flaw in the design in that the barrel is actually quite loose in the slide. So even if your sight picture and fundamentals aregood, the barrel is not reliably locked up in the same spot after each shot. maybe its just mine, but the barrel in mine is simply not as secure in the slide after locking into battery like a glock or sig and that IMO is the reason for the hate on the 92- but hey, we're talking anout a 50 year old design here...

                          A family friend who served during the time when they were switching to the M9 put it this way: The M9 is the Steve Young to the 1911's Joe Montana.

                            I really want a Wilson Combat tuned M9. Will I get one? Probably not.

                              I recieved the "D" spring from Brownells and installed it. That really does make a big difference in the DA. I have a steel guide rod and SS recoil spring on order from Midway. I really like this pistol, the accuracy is great. At $529 I think it is a very good value.
                              I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

                                I initially did not like the M9 out of the box, I initially did not like the following:
                                1. The wide grips/ solved with vz g10 golf grips
                                2. The trigger/ solved with Wilson combat short reset trigger and light trigger spring
                                3. The weight of the DA/SA trigger/ solved with new hammer spring
                                4. The recessed mag release/ solved with Wilson combat mag release

                                The gun with the upgraded parts is much better now. After 1000 rounds I'm not longer pulling my shots bottom left. However I do not like the current sight picture on the stock M9 sights
