I compared one side by side with a 92 in my local gun shop - if I wanted a Beretta, I'd buy a Girsan without hesitation, the build quality is at least as good (some of the machining looked better) the finish is excellent and the trigger on the one I looked at was smoother in DA and crisper in SA than the Beretta I compared it to. Overall these are nicely made guns for about $300 less than the Beretta - that's a good amount of ammo. Incidentally, they aren't "knock-offs" technically speaking. They are license built in a factory set up by HK to produce firearms for the Turkish military - the same plant turned out G3's, MP5's and now turns out HK 416's for the Turkish military.
