Haven't got out to the range so I won't comment on the trigger yet.
I'll post pics in the gun purchases thread since that makes more sense.

Went to an awesome range in Van Nuys this morning and test fired both the 92FS and P228. Decided to go with the 92. Going to my local gun shop tomorrow to check out pricing. :-)

Are you going to get the one with the rails or not?

Haven't decided... Going to see what I can find. Ideally, with the rails.

Well it isn't like the P228 is found everywhere. It's actually rare for some reason

That's because they don't MAKE the 228 anymore. As soon as the 229 came out, poof, the 228 was no longer being made. The 228 frame couldn't take the pressures of the .40 round. So they changed the materials and made the P229, which was also offered in .357 SIG AND .40 S&W.

Yes, I know. Sarcasm doesn't carry well into text. Maybe I should of added smiley faces and winks.
