I've had an Italian made 92FS Inox and a USA made 92M Inox single stack. Both great guns, the full size pistol was more accurate, but definitely too big for a 9mm. At the same time I had a Glock 17 and a Sig220 in 9mm. I've sold the 2 Beretta's and contemplating selling the Glock 17. The Sig is the way to go for me. But with that being said, not one hickup from any of the above mentioned pistols. It ate anything I fed it, and kept on going.
What do you think of the Beretta 92F

I've got a 92FS and a 92 Brigadier Inox. I like them: fun to shoot, and cool because the US army, LAPD, (good guys), etc. use them.
Even though I like Beretta, I'm not sure I'd buy the Inox again.
The shop I worked at had one as a range gun and it kept breaking certain things. Perhaps the stainless isn't as strong.
I know, as a rental gun, the customers used the slide release to release the slide - imagine that
when they should have been gripping the slide to pull back and then release on a full mag. This could have resolved a lot of problems and prevented the breakage.
However, a well known firearm like a Beretta should be able to take anything a new shooter could dish-out so I was a little disappointed.
For you SIG and Glock owners out there – they performed flawlessly after thousands of rounds (with very minimal cleaning).
I’m sure the blued (burnitron or whatever) ones are stronger and I certainly haven’t had any problems with mine.

I've got the 92FS Vertec and the 92G-SD. The trigger pull on the former is quite heavy and the grip slim. In contrast, the pull is much sweeter on the latter, plus I don't mind the larger grip...even for my smallish hands.

and the cult of the Glock strikes again. Slide releases are for releasing the slide, it's quicker and allows you to get back into the proper grip faster than the Glock "grab and pull" method. Which incidentally was developed because first gen Glocks had a slide release that was too small to hit easily. you'll notice this has changed.
