Girsan (beretta clone)..

Pearce54 said:
A few years ago I purchased an Italian M92FS. My friend recently purchased a Girsan Yavuz. We decided to take both to the range and compare them. After a few shooting sessions we determined that both pistols are comparable in quality and accuracy. The Beretta factory magazines and the Girsan magazines are perfectly compatible in both guns (no surprise there). I will say that certain parts of both guns are made of varying materials, in my opinion this doesn't diminish the quality, just a different focus on fit and finish. Both pistols have a long smooth double action trigger pull and a crisp reset. Neither gun had a stoppage during our comparison shoots. Knowing what I know now about the Girsan, I would certainly go out and buy one if I were in the market for a 9mm. Its every bit as much bang for the buck as the Beretta. That being said, if I had the extra cash I would go with the Beretta based on its beautiful finish. In conclusion the only real difference between the two is visible when you lay both down on a table next to one another. The Beretta looks like its worth $750 and the Girsan looks like its worth $499.

Save up for a reload rig...you will save a ton on ammo costs if you shoot a lot. Especially if you get a 45 at some point....guns are addictive. Im on my third pistol and 12th rifle....cant wait to see my wifes face when I unwrap my christmas present from santa (provided by me), pistola quatro!
 
Its not, but a whole lot of pistols are. And once you have one 9mm, then you need a .45, .357, 10mm and maybe a .40 (I personally hate .40... its way too snappy and terrible for target reaquirement). And if you have multiple calibers its best to hand load... cause you get to shoot more that way!
 
Glad i came across this thread i just ordered a stainless railed compact yesterday. I remember reading alot of positives on it but i enjoyed the reassurances. Maybe a dumb question do the 92 mags fit the compact? Or just the full size?
