sytasyn_syn Posted: October 8, 2008 I am telling you right now, there is one good place for this weapon and it ain't in my collection.
Performance: 6
I the performance was not the best but it was better then that of a hi-point. This gun shoots fine and has a little kick back and kind of feels slightly shotty. Good enough for plinking and target popping.Features: 7
The features on this gun...it has sites. good enough I guess as long as you ain't betting your life on itAppeal: 7
The look of the weapon is not bad. It is plain and looks like a handgun should. It is a little big to be carrying it...speaking of that, do you know how hot this weapons handle gets in the Iraqi sun? Christ if there was ever a reason to switch to the Glocks that would be it. But unless your a Hadji, I don't see to many of you encountering this problemOverall:
This gun is plain, bland, cheap and sometimes jams if not perfectly clean. It is a good enough gun to have for tearing paper, shooting pop cans, or as a decorative paper weight. Also can be used as a light hammer(While un-loaded) If you need something you don't mind being an owner of a medium grade weapon or need something to throw some shitty cheap Russian ammo through then this is your weapon. I have to say that the accuracy is not the greatest btu is not bad. The looks are plain but good enough, and taking it apart, cleaning it, and reassembling is kind of annoying. Not to mention the fact that it is to heavy and large when there are better options out there.

I guess you don't like Beretta's! I used one for years and found it to be acurate, well functioning and a very fine weapon. Carried everyday and never failed me. I'm a retired fed. Maybe you had a bad one. I had a Sig like that. Maybe you have smal hands.

I'm 6'3" so if I had small hands I would work in a carnival! hahaha. Just don't like them and damn near no one in the service likes them either.

The Beretta is a very good service weapon. I have eight years as a Military Policeman, and of that, I have 39 months in Iraq, 6 months in Kuwait, and two months in Egypt. I have never had the problem of a hot grip on my sidearm. Now, the grip and buttstock of a mounted 240 is a different story. I cannot say I have never had a malfunction, but as far as I can recall, every problem I have ever encountered with the Beretta has been due to magazines. When you consider how many times these guns change hands, and how neglected and beat up some of them get, and how many rounds are fired through them during their service life, the Beretta is not a bad gun at all. It ain't a Glock, but it's a damn sight more reliable than the gunsmith's best source of income (aka the 1911). The biggest gripe with the Beretta is not the weapon, it's the ammo. 9mm is great for civilians or law enforcement who can pick the type of ammo they use, but as most of the military is restricted to FMJ, we don't get the warm and fuzzy feeling of trust in our sidearms. But I guess that's where belt-feds and frags come in....

I will take a 1911 45acp over any 9mm. The 45acp will take the target down with no problem.

While I agree that the .45 is a more potent round than the 9mm, the 9mm is much less expensive, which facilitates more practice for the money, and the 9mm has less recoil, to allow for faster follow up shots. Although someone can get very good with a .45, the same person will be even better with a 9mm due to the lighter recoil. My post was in response to the trashing of the Beretta, and anyone with experience with both knows that a GI M9 is more reliable than a GI 1911. Sure, you can get great reliability from a 1911, but at a cost typically higher than what you get with a box stock Beretta 92. As far as fighting guns for civilians or law enforcement, the Beretta and 1911 are both substandard, in my opinion, to the Glock, and as far as military arms go, the reliability and capacity of the GI M9 far outweigh the reliability and power of the GI 1911.

Old habits die hard. "Big guns are better" I agree the 9mm with DPX or Hydro Shoxs is more than enough firepower to bring down a target with one well placed center mass or headshot. Double tap works much better...
I like the economy of my 9mm. I am not a rich man, retired actually and I am going to start reloading.
