Do you mean the P226? The P228 wasn't in the XM9 trials (didn't exist back then).
I prefer SIGs over Berettas myself, but I do think that at the time of the XM9 trials, the 92F was actually the better choice. The P226 had issues of its own (breaking trigger bar springs, bending barrels, etc.), many of which weren't worked out until about the early-90s. Whereas the 92 series had been in existence for longer and was a more developed design by the mid-80s.
