I choose beretta .
But its just a personal choice .
My first hand gun was a Glock 17 and I loved it just because it was my first and there is so much HYPE.
glocks will run and run and run ,and will not stop .
I have even loaded empty brass under live rounds in my mag and it will chamber the empty brass clean ,due to the sloppy chamber design.
I have only been shooting my 92fs for awile but im way more accurate due to the natural pointability or grip angle .
The action is way smoother ,and way tighter ,I think it looks way nicer overall.
The trigger is more crisp .
If i was going to War I might choose the Glock or if I could Carry I might choose Glock.
just because its lighter and It just will not jam up .
although my Beretta has yet to fail in eny way .
 
I like the Glock better. The Beretta is a very nice looking gun, but it got too many moving parts and little springs and things to break or to fumble with in action shooting sports. Also the 92fs is more "snappy" because of the metal frame.

Thats interesting I always thought the Glock had the 2X4 grip, and the beretta had the more thin comfortable grip. Thanx for the heads up.

I've heard that too but my G17 fits in my hands like it was custom made for me and the Beretta make me feel like a kid holding my Dad's gun lol. My hands are on the smaller side of medium...

Funny thing, my G17 always stovepipe when it have to chamber an empty brass. That is the only way i can practice jam clearing procedure BTW.
 
I have only shot the Beretta 92 SA/DA versus my G17. I prefer the G17 due to the more consistent trigger pull versus the DA/SA 92 trigger. To be fair I haven't fired a DAO 92.

The Glock grip does feel like a 2x4 in my medium sized hands but for some reason I shoot it well both aimed and point shooting.
 
Funny, I've always been a "metal" kind of guy for firearms but the first time I shot a G17 I knew I had to own one. I had a Beretta 92F. Definitely not as fast or easy to disassemble/reassemble as a Glock but it was a nicely finished and reliable pistol. I can't say I was accurate with as I traded it after putting a couple hundred rounds through it for a satin nickel CZ75B. Given a choice between the Glock and the Beretta I'd opt for the Glock but I'd also recommend you look at a CZ75/85....YMMV.
 
I've shot both. The Glock felt better in my hands, but I was more accurate with the Beretta. I ended up getting the Glock, but I still plan on getting a Beretta or CZ75 in the future.
 
92f

i have a beretta at home belong to mi father, (rip) he bought that gun in 1979 in spain,later bring that gun to venezuela and used for many years, later Ibring that gun to canada and till know Istill use that gun at least once a month its not black anymore its silver all original never been in a gunsmith, its only 30 years old jajaja glock its good to my generation 1 still run good :)
 
I would prefer the Glock myself. Berettas have never done anything for me personally.

I find the G17's grip is pretty small but then I mainly shoot a G20. It makes the 17s feel like toys.

I don't personally like DA/SA triggers on my guns although I know better shooters than me that are not bothered by them.

I don't care for slide-mounted safeties etc either. Most of the US soldiers I know hate their M9s, also.

Most commonly they tell me they wish they could just take their own G17s or G19s instead.

I have no specific love for the europellet but if I were buying a 9mm it would be a G19 or G17. If I were getting one for the gf (who hates polymer guns) it would probably have to be a CZ.

I wouldn't buy a Beretta myself.
 
I've had a Glock, and 3 beretta's. I would say that my experience was that the beretta's are the better choice. The releases are easier to use and the gun is much more ergonomic than the glock. I also found that I shot with more accuracy with a beretta. I had a hard time with the glock. I have large hands and the glock just wasnt for me. The releases seemed to small and sometimes difficult.
On the flip side, anything you would ever need or want for your glock is a regularly stocked item in most stores, so this is a huge plus. And any special item you may want for your glock isnt hard to find either.
 
I'd say GLOCK. shot the 96d (similar to the 92) and i like the open slide design and the feel of a steel gun but its the simplicity of the glock that appeals to me. load rack shoot. stupid simple under stress; easy to teach someone else under stress.
as for safety... glock is safe. no excuse for not knowing the condition of the pistol in your hand.
 
I have both, and are excellent pistols. For out in the field in harsh environment conditions (no cleaning/water/muck, etc) I'd select the GLOCK 17....it's like the AK of pistols.

For an all around shooter, elegents, class, style, and fine Italian craftsmanship..I'd select the Beretta 92F in polished blue (the true original Beretta), or it's military counterpart...the Beretta M9 (92FS). A truly beautiful combat pistol, the BERETTA M9 :)
 
I'd say hold them both, I originally wanted a glock until I went into my local gun shop and held one, personally I didn't like grip at all, so hold one, or ideally shoot one before you buy
 
Glocks flat sides are ideal for a two hand hold (for me), although I agree about the grip angle being a bit too steep. Also if I was to utter the phrase "saturday night special" most people would not think of a glock but of berreta. Italy was never famous for their quality, not with cars not with handguns (custom shotguns are a different story). I will take a german (or austrian) made weapon any day over italian, although the locking system on the 92 was copied from a german P38. Berretas are cheap, thats why the US army chose them. After that decisions they had problems with cracking slides for a little while. Glocks can be produced cheaply as well but they were not in the competition because Glock did not want to give up the right to manufacture their pistols to the US army and its subcontractors and that was one of the requirements in the pistol trials. If that condition was not there, the US army might have been armed with glocks now days and the beretta 92 without a US military pedigree would be much less desirable to the general public.
