Hey guys,
I was offered to trade my brand new Italian Beretta 92 (400 rds put through it) for a Colt Gold Cup 80 in SS. (round count is unknown to me at that point) the trigger has been improved, it's in great shape, and it's incredibly accurate. (I tried it...)
As for my Beretta, I don't know, I'm really having trouble mastering it. I asked a ''master level shooter'' to try it and the guy got five bullets in the same hole......
I AM the problem. Next 9mm will be a CZ or a 1911 chambered in 9.


Please note that the 92fs is the only centerfire handgun I own. (but I am well equipped in rimfires...)

What would you do?
 
Have you tried different aftermarket grips for your Beretta 92?

I shoot 92's a lot and with the factory checkered grips I shoot ok with them.

I went and bought Hogue grip's for my friends 92 in which I shoot, I shoot damn well with the hogue's on,

Same went for my Ruger P89, factory grips it shot aight, but with the Hogue I just shoot better.

My hands sweat a lot and positive grip retention is compromised when my hands slide around on stock grips. The hogue just sticks.

Only $20-25 for the grips, highly suggest ya try them out if ya haven't. See how ya shoot with them on then go from there.

Can be found at almost any gun shop.
 
the gold cup is a classic, value around $750-$900 so it is in the ballpark of your beretta.

I would swap in a heart beat... you do not see many gold cups for sale and berettas are like the plague.
 
Tks,
I do not think the grip is the problem, but for a few $ I'll give it a try anyway. Tks for the comments, keep 'em coming!
 
It depends if you want to shoot a 45. The ammo cost will be higher.

I like the feel of a 1911. I don't particularly care for the Beretta 92 but lots of people like it.

I think part of your problem with the 92 is that you may not have learned how to shoot a handgun properly or you have not had enough practice. Its a lot harder than a lot of people think it should be.

I would go for the Colt.
 
Tks Rudy,
I do know the ammo cost will be higher but I have a nice Dillon press at home. Just need to buy the .45 dies. Part of your answer might be true. I do need more practice, but on the other hand, I got 2'' grouping with the .45 at first try.... With Beretta, I won't event talk about it, I'm glad when I hit the 8'' target...
 
No Way.

So What, It Is A Colt.

What So Special About It , When People Hear Colt They Want To Buy It.

Just My 02 Cents.
 
I own a series 80, and have shot the 92. I too can't get any good grouping with the Beretta. I credit it to the drag feel of the 92 trigger.
 
You get to try a different gun

Make the trade, you can always buy another Beretta later if you decide to. :) It sounds to me like that is what you want to do...;)

And, well - it's a 1911 :cool:.
