This.
I've held a M9 & FS back-to-back & (for me), there's no competition.
My first FS has thousands of rds through it in USPSA, 3 Gun & Steel Plate matches. Still incredibly accurate, absolutely 100% on reliability.
However, were it me buying MY first Beretta, I think I'd look long & hard at a non-railed FS Compact. I'd still get the superior FS design but would be able to carry it much easier than the full size. The spring swap on the trigger would still work easily as well.
I've got 5-6 92's, all are FS models. One each in blued & SS Compacts as well. I carry the blued model from time to time.
Using 124gr ammo, I've found the FS models to be unbelievably accurate. The trigger-job-in-a-bag lit is well worth the investment.
