beretta 92g / 92d... whats the diff?

[popcan]

Thinking about getting one of these ...

What's the diff between the two, and which one would you choose?

92G is all I would ever choose. It means the "safety" is really only a decocker, not a safety. So after you've dropped the hammer with it, it springs back up.
92D is Double Action Only, no single action available. It's also a slick slide, with no safety/decocker at all.

... and all the 92 versions were 9mm, and the 96's are .40 cal, correct?

 

[Icefire]

Correct

92D is Double Action Only, no single action available. It's also a slick slide, with no safety/decocker at all.

The D is a "sweet" shooting gun, the DAO makes it as safe as a DA revolver, if you don't pull the trigger it wont go bang.

if you don't pull the trigger it wont go bang.

Is there any guns out there that doesn't do that?
