Help Deciding. Glock 17 or Beretta 92FS

[buckhunter49]

So I've narrowed it down to these two handguns. I have shot the Glock and handled the Beretta. I have no plans on getting into shooting competitions etc. I do plan on taking a handgun shooting course thos spring. Just want a solid accurate semi 9mm that will eat almost any ammo and last a long time and be reliable. Currently I just have a S&W 357 and have had an SR9 in the past.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Glock all the way much easier to maintain clean and get parts you can change yourself will go bang every time

I have both.... I like both.

The beretta feels like a nicer pistol to me.

 

[Magellann]

Beretta for sure any day. They are a much nicer pistol.

between those two i would choose the glock.

Definitley glock, double action trigger pulls are so last decade.

Glock

At the risk of getting flamed....if it's style you're after, go beretta...they are sweet to look at....but if I was going to bet my life...go Glock.....jmho

^ What he said , I have both and would take the glock over the beretta , if I could only have one , that is .

Glock for the win

I like the idea of the Glock quite a bit, but I can actually hit stuff way better with the Beretta.

The Glock is a better firearm hands down.

BUT

If you are brand new to handguns and have no experience with them.. Do you really want a handgun that has no external safety and will always go bang if the trigger is pulled?

There are advantages and disadvantages to a handgun that will always go bang when the trigger is pulled and there are advantages and disadvantages to a handgun that has a safety switch that can be activated that prevents to gun from going off if the trigger is pulled.

For a brand new shooter, I'd lean towards preventing accidental discharges over getting rounds off quickly

Glock +1. Far easier to modify and improve with aftermarket parts too. Can really tune a Glock to your liking.

I've had both and found the 92FS was more accurate. I found racking the slide with the C clamp method unfavourable with the beretta due to the decocking lever. It gets in the way in my opinion. Tough choice. I'd go with a P226 if you want 9mm and if you just want a nice handgun to shoot the Colt 1911 is it.

I traded my M-92 for a Glock 17. Don't really care for either one. I prefer my Norinco 29 or CZ 85.

Does this help you with your decision?

Glock. Slide mounted controls are the devil.

Really need to try a CZ.
sp-01 Shadow specifically.
It upped my game big time.
If you are target shooting, I don't see the advantage of a striker fired pistol.
Glock is more of a duty gun. I hated the trigger.
