Beretta 92FS or Glock 17?

mrbule · Nov 4, 2012

For me neither.
But personally I would go beretta over glock.
Square odd angled squishy trigger thing.

Another vote for the Beretta. I own one and I love it.

I really would much rather have a PT92 then a Beretta 92.

The Frame safety gets rid of the issues of inadvertently engaging the safety on pulling the slide back. Fixed sights is bit annoying unless you want to drill the front sight blade for adjustable. By far the easiest to dis-assemble when compared to a lot of the other 9mm on the market. PT92 does not need Omega lock either is plus. Though 92FS/PT92 do have fat grips many things cross over but depending on year the grips do not. Mec-gar 20 round mags can be hand loaded without a mag loader unlike the factory 17s.

I was in the same boat as you and decided to go with glock as it fits with my needs

The first time I ever held a Beretta 92FS, I knew I would own one one day. Today I own a few different models of 92's due to how well I shoot with them and how comfortable they fit in my hands.

First time I held a Glock 17 (I can't recall if it was a Gen 1 or 2) it felt like holding a 2x4. The Gen 4 17 feels more comfortable than the earlier versions, but I'm still not keen on how it fits in my hand compared to other polymer framed pistols.

Here are a couple pics of the PT92AFS I bought off a buddy,

I've owned and shot both... I keep going back to the Glock because it fits my hands a bit better than the Beretta. I figured I'd put enough rounds through it to ultimately get used to the trigger.

Beretta all the way. I also own both.

Beretta is more majestic, you'll have fun cleaning it and racking the slide after you lube it up and just fondling it. The glock is a glock, a great gun all around. honestly i gotta say buy both

DocSavage · Nov 8, 2012

Between the two, Beretta...

If you have some extra cash and desire better, go with what US Navy uses and go SIG SAUER... My P226 TacOps is beyond perfect and I sing its praises whenever I can!

Never a FTF or FTE, it built like a tank, just a bit expensive for all the US Military to use so it's a special item for SOG guys...for me, if the SEALS like it, then I'm on board!

Be safe...

BTW, have you checked into a beretta 93R?

Beretta felt better in my hand, has never failed, and looks great.

LJPete · Nov 9, 2012

For me the Beretta feels better in my hands. Also the trigger pull is IMO better on single action than the Glock in terms of pull weight and distance to the trigger breaking.

In the looks department again IMO the Beretta.

I voted for the Beretta only because it's the most accurate gun I have ever shot. If this is going to be a range gun, I would say Beretta. If this is going to serve multiple purposes (carry etc.), I say Glock.

EDIT: Make sure you shoot both. The Beretta's grip is fairly large. If you have small hands, you will not be able to get a proper grip.

i have small hands and have never had this problem. i mean i agree with the first part but just b/c were disproportioned doesnt mean we cant hold a beretta, my px4 doesnt seem to be much wider and i have never had a problem getting a proper grip. having said that, i voted glock 17 although i like a 19 better for allaround application. 92s are a fine sexy italian piece though :innocent0

I own and love to shoot the Beretta 92FS. I have never shot the Glock because I never like the way they felt in my hand. I have a big hands and I feel the slide of the Glock is way to close to the web/top of my hand and I think the slide would hit my hand as it cycled.

Biggfoot44 · Nov 10, 2012

I voted Glock because of primarily how if fits the hand and balances. Even though I have XXL hands , the M92 just doesn't feel right.
Yes , a well tuned M92 trigger is fine, plenty accurate, and as long as you realize a locking block is supposed to be a maintance item , very durable.

But the Glock fits me better , and fits a wider range of hand sizes.

Did you ever have any trouble with the Glock hitting your hand as it cycled?

Merlin · Nov 10, 2012

That settles it then. Looks like you have to buy both! :beer:

JR9390 · Nov 10, 2012

You can never go wrong with both, because both are good guns. But if I had to pick only one, Glock 17 would be the one for me. Consistent trigger pulls, If you want a 3.5 connector it just drops into the gun and you can load up on 17 rd mags for $20 piece.

huesmann · Nov 10, 2012

I have never been afraid of the slide of my Glocks hitting the web of my hand. Some people may not be a fan of the Glock internal hammer, but I like the idea of not having it hanging out there.
