The issue with Glocks is cocked and UN-locked... no external safety. Iits like a 1911with the safety off. I prefer DA/SA Sigs. P226, P229...
Agree hard to beat the 226.
The Beretta model 92 in all it’s versions is extraordinarily reliable.
The only problem is it’s grip is too large for smaller hands.
Most folks are not in Iraq. Sand in the slide is not an issue in most cases.
High capacity
Easy strip/clean
Accurate
Dependable
Counting on the opponents ignorance of the 92A1 and never ever ever allow them to close the distance between you and them.
Ive shot the 92many Times. Prefer Sigs.
A lil bulky..I admit. Never had a jam, never had a stove pipe or any mechanical malfunction. Not for everyone I reckon.
My main problem overall with Beretta handguns is that they are just too bulky. They are for people with large hands.
I have to take the Sig as number one choice on a handgun. Ruger P series especially the P89 which we own as well as a P85 and Springfield Armory over Glock all day long.
If we all liked the same gun there would be nothing to argue about on FR. :-)
Traded it off for a Colt Trooper II .357. Awesome wheel gun.
bkmk
RUGER P85 MKII
Never had ANY PROBLEMS with Mine. Home Fishscale Jeweled, Ramp Polished. Thousands of rounds, NO MISFIRES, STOVE PIPES even with cheap aluminum case ammo.
Triple Safety: Hammer block, Trigger disconnect, Decocker
PING to below.
good piece. i trust my life to what ever gun i carry, so i don’t carry junk
True dat!
The ONLY Firearm I would sleep with under My pillow besides a Revolver (RUGER Blackhawk.44 Magnum 10.5” Barrelto save ammo if the Perp is in reach just beat them to death.)
Happiness is a warm pillow...
Same here the Ruger P series is very reliable and accurate. We have not had any issues with the P85 or the P89 except for the safety recall on the P85. We shipped it to the factory in a container they provided. Ruger refurbished the whole weapon, put in a new firing pin and safety and shipped it back with an extra magazine.
“Beretta 92A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldnt be getting rid of it for the Sig 320 “
Lets see how your statement works with other weapons. Times do change. Good weapons (or not) get switched out for other weapons by the US military.
*******************************
Colt 1911A1? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldnt be getting rid of it for the Beretta M9.
M-14? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldnt be getting rid of it for the M-16.
M-1 Garand? Maybe not. If it was such an incredible weapon the military wouldnt be getting rid of it for the M-14.
