Whether they are both current production or previously made models, the P226/P226R is better than the 92FS/M9 in pretty much every way, and I'd say it's worth the extra 2-400 dollars given all the benefits you get with the gun. Aside from the high cost of factory mags, the SIGs trigger is much better, the controls and grip are more ergonomic, the R has a rail if you want a light, and SIG has a better warranty (Lifetime vs 1 year for Beretta). The only reason one would get a Beretta nowadays is if they are a die hard fan of the gun be it for its use in the military, or the constant use and reference of the gun in the LE and film scene from the 1980s up until polymer became the norm.
Not to say the Beretta is a bad gun, it's just from a time previous and in terms of usability, average at best. If you do decide to get one, I'm guessing it'd be for the price point or the fact that it is THE BERETTA, in which case do yourself a favor and get a used one before they changed to the slanted dust cover of current production models, and if you're privileged enough, before they put warning labels on the frame. In other words, for your nostalgia, get the real thing, the gun worth inspiring nostalgia and pride of ownership. |

Just bought a H&K USP9. Got the full size instead of the compact being that the state where I live does not have concealed carry in practice so it would have been pointless to get the USP compact. Though the compact did have a slick look to it, it held two less rounds, a shorter sight radius, and the full sized grip just feels better.

A buddy of mine once called to take with me about one of his coworkers thinking of getting a gun. Then he told me he lives in Chicago. I sighed and then told him all the steps he had to do to even BEGIN to buy a guy and then the steps for him to actually HAVE the gun

Well Maryland is a May Issue state, but I mean only IL is the only state where there is illegal to carry. A lot of states like NY and Cali makes it hard to get a carry permit, but you can if you are patient
