Glock 17 vs Beretta 92fs

Gene B.

Im having trouble deciding which gun I should start saving up for next. Im mostly looking for accuracy, which gun would best be suited for that job? Does the Beretta 96fs in .40 have any advantages over the Beretta in 9mm?

Generally speaking (sorry Glock fans) the Beretta is more accurate than the Glock - due primarily to trigger pull. The .40 has significant advantages over the 9MM (from any gun).

That said, have you considered a Browning High Power? It should be (unless you get a dog) more accurate than either the Glock or the Beretta.

I havnt heard much about the BROWNING HIGH POWER, could you inform me about it? Is it accurate, reliable? I think I heard there only single action, is this true? I really like "military grade" pistols, would you consider the HIGH POWER one?

The Hi Power was a military pistal long befor glock built a gun. Hi powers are used in competition like the 1911 is. It come in both the 9mm and 40 s&w. It can be carried cocked and locked. It is a single action pistal rateher than a double action like the two you are looking at . My 2 cents

Gene:
With what you listed, I'd go for the Beretta.

However, you're not comparing apples to apples. You're asking us to compare a 9mm pistol (Glock 17) to a .40 S&W pistol (Beretta 96FS).

If you want to compare 9mm's (Glock 17/Beretta 92FS), then the Glock wins.

If you want to compare .40 S&W pistols (Glock 22/Beretta 96FS), then the Glock wins.

'Nuff said.

If you get the Glock in .40 and then buy a 357 sig barrel for it Glock wins again and again.

I have to agree. Go with the Glock.

If you are concerned about accuracy, GET THE #3.5 CONNECTOR. It drastically improves trigger feel and your groups will be nice and tight.

Before I put mine in, I was shooting 5-6 inch groups at 15 yards. After I installed it, I was hitting 2 inch groups. It's a factory part and an GREAT improvement.

My gun is prettier than yours, and it's a Glock!

gene, the Browning High Poweris also known as the M1935 Browning. It has been the primary side arm for many countries; until very recently it was the sidearm of the British SAS. It is John Browning's last design and is very accurate and very reliable (and it won't melt in the hot sun like a glock

It is indeed a single action pistol and yes, I would consider it to be of military grade!

For accuracy the Browning will run rings around the Beretta and the Glock. If you want 9mm and nothing more the Glock will serve you well. If you want a higher caliber (40 or more) you'll want to shop elsewhere. Browning makes a 40 and for the record I have never shot their 40, if its anything like the 9mm it should be a winner.
