Both of these pistols were considered for US army, but Beretta eventually made the cut.
I just wanted to get your opinion on these two. I own both, and feel that although Beretta is more stylish, it is like a Ford Mustang w/o SVT engine. I mean had it been a .45 then the size of it would make sense.
On SIG 226, I really like the decocking mechanism. I think in a confrontation its more useful then a safety. Wehereas you can get the hammer to be decocked in Beretta as well- only with one extra step of first engaging the safety and then taking it off.
From the different reviews that I have read here it seems like SIG is very accurate. It has good reputation, but lacks the style.
On Glock: I think it simply the best pistol ever made in my opinion. It never jammed and never malfunctioned. It takes out the target with good accuracy and magazine capicity is not only decent but there are bigger magazines available. Someone was arguing with me that it does shoot as well as SIG while you are running and discharging your weapon, but I can't comment on that since I have never done that, eventhough, I have a feeling from my expereince that Glock would not fail me.
Another person argued that Glcoks are removed from FBI because agents kept shooting themselves in the foot while taking it out of the holster. In my opionion FBI should fire such agents who makes such stupid errors. Period.
In terms of Beretta v Glock: both have style but since Beretta is unecessairly heavy I will stick with Glock. Not to mention one needs to have really big hands to fully grip Beretta. I just dont see added feature in the Beretta. I have it because I am a collector. One more thing. I like decocking feature which Glock doesnot have, but I dont like externel safeties. They are the reciepe for desasters and mishaps, and it delays response.
Would like to see what you guys thinks?
