They're no good. Jam often if you use the wrong mags. US military is about to replace them soon.
Wanna sell it?

I have an Inox and I like it. Never any jams or failures of any kind. Big for a nine, but well built and robust. It wouldn't be my first (or tenth) choice as a defensive handgun (if there were such a thing in Canada), but overall a well built gun that is fun to shoot and quite accurate.
I've owned a few Beretta 92's over the years. Okay pistol if you don't mind the big table leg grip. Don't own any of the big Beretta pistols anymore.
These days I prefer a Browning HP or Colt Combat Commander to launch 9mm's. That's my preference anyway.

What kinda Sig did you buy? I dealt off my P226 and P220(9mm), now I only have a Mosquito.
But I am going to get a P220R when fundage improves.

220 9mm
I bought it off another board member..maybe it's your old one?
92F is a great gun. Many people love them, Fit and finish is outstanding. action smooth. The only concern is a little too big for a smaller hand person. If my hand would have a little bigger, I will get it over my CZ 75B.

I tried an Italian one once. I tought it was a well made piece of hardware but way too big for me. The trigger reach in DA was awfull and made me shoot an inch to the left.
The last time I checked I had one in Inox in my safe
Never had any jams in thousands of rounds I shot through it. I will admit to getting light charges the the first time I used BlueDot, which made my Steyr jam quite a bit. I though the gun just doesn't like the load so I tried it in my 92FS and got the same result. It didn't take long to realize the problem was under-loaded ammo (often the slide wouldn't even go back far enough to eject the case). Later in the same trip I shot 2 more boxes with an increased charge and the gun worked like a clock.
I'm glad it happened though; because I had no idea how easy it was to clear a jam since I never had any before. Open top slide rocks; you just pull the slide and and tilt the gun sideways, and no it's not the same with every gun - with my Steyr when I got stovepipe sometimes I had a do it a few times or even had to fish out the case with my finger out of a tiny (read normal size) ejection port. Failures to feed were even worse with Steyr (would be the same with all tilt barrel guns), every time I had to remove the magazine. With 92FS I just pushed the round back in the magazine through the slide -never having to remove the magazine. Again all those malfunctions happened with one box of the my crappy reloads.
Oh yeah if anyone wants a recipe for jam-o-matic loads let me know.
