Glock 17 or Beretta 92fs

[Buss619]

Hello all,

I am buying my first handgun and I am trying to decide which would be better the glock 17 or the beretta 92fs. I am definitely going 9mm and I want full size not compact. Can anyone help me figure out which would be better. I know the differences between the guns mostly.... I would just like to know some of your personal opinions on which I should go with.

Thanks

I'm not a Glock fanboy, in fact I prefer the Beretta brand. However for ease of maintenance, reliability, aftermarket parts, customer service, etc I'd get the 17.

Beretta makes great guns. Glock, too. I agree with Dmacintyre - there's everything for Glocks. And they always go "bang" when you pull the trigger.


Always.

Get the 17, then take it to hell and back.

Get both

I would get both! A better question you should be asking is which ammo is better...

[WW2Buff]

Beretta. No questions asked. I struggled with that decision a few years ago and made the mistake of getting the GLOCK. I liked it but no where near as much as I like the 92/M9 series.

Oh dude get the beretta. Seriously. Theres nothing like the way it feels in your hand, the heft of its full steel frame, the sights are great, ergonomics are great, and it will last you a lifetime. Not that the glock isnt any and all of these, its just that the beretta is a beautiful machine while the glock is simply another glock.

When I rented both, I liked the Beretta better. The Beretta's longer trigger pull was a minus, but the ergonomics and feel were superior to Glock. Recoil-wise, from my short experience handling the both, Glock felt like it had more recoil.

Both are champs. Get them both.

Smith & Wesson M&P in your choice of 4.25" or 5" full sized models:





Then, send the gun off to Apex Tactical Specialties to have Randy & Scott turn it into a world class, finely tuned, competition ready sidearm. I see no way that you could go wrong following this path.

two totally different feeling guns so hold both of them and ask the sales staff about the differences of safety features. A Glock, contrary to conventional, the trigger is the only operating element. All three pistol safeties are deactivated when the trigger is pulled -and automatically activated when it is released and is SAO. For the Berreta, the manual safety also functions as a decocking lever.A firing pin block secures the firing pin.
The chamber loaded indicator is visible or can be felt by touch. Also it is SA/DA

Get the GLOCK 17

The GLOCK 17 is a basic required handgun for every gun owner. It runs 100%.

Several options are available to pimp it out. Including a 33 round mag, 17 round mag, trigger kits, various site options, barrels, etc.

It's one gun you will never sell.

Later, get a Beretta if you feel like it. I own both, but my Bug Out Zombie Gun between the two is the Glock.

My 1992 black GLOCK 17 (bought new) and my new Glock 17 in Olive Drab.

(you will soon find out that one GLOCK is never enough)

This.

I've missed my glock 19 since I've sold it. Sure, I like my sig better but I think if I had to choose one and only one for the rest of my life... It'd be a glock.

So I guess my answer is....get both

I love Berettas, but both guns have a long line of use with proven reliablity (no matter what some random person on the net says their friend's friend told them). Just go with what feels better in your hand.
