They are large heavy 9mm handguns that have the ergo's of a club.

Not very good for conceal carry Better options are out there for home defense, duty, and competitive guns. It's a doublestack P-38. So it's a 1940's pistol stuck In the 1980's That doesn't mean it needs to be hated. It is attractive, well built, reliable, accurate, And very easy to shoot. It does t need to be hated, but it kind of has called by the wayside. Like many guns in this area, if you like it, and are willing to train around it, buy it and carry it. You could do far worse. In 20 years when DOD adopts the 226 which by that time will be a 40 year old design as well, everyone will be all about the "retro" 92 FIFY

Because it has a manual safety. At some point years ago, when everything firearm relate became "tactical, match grade, and mil-spec", and when all shooters became "operators", manual safeties fell out of fashion. Now that everyone is high speed low drag, it's apparently okay to suffer the occasional accidental discharge because we just can't get slowed down with manual safeties.
I don't know how long arfcom archives threads, but if you've been keeping score over the years, almost every accidental/negligent discharge from a sidearm involves a plastic piece that doesn't have a manual safety. It's yet another reason I adore 3rd gen Smiths. |

for the capacity and caliber it is too big and too heavy but it is also all steel and that hurts the arf love of plastic crap pistols. Well, we can disregard any more nonsense from you on this topic.  yep There is an all steel model Beretta. Perhaps this guy only has experience with that one. Tread lightly fellas... things like this is why people hate GD. And they are exceedingly rare, highly prized and seldom shot by collectors, and quite expensive even when new. I'm going to assume that he doesn't know what he is talking about. You are suggesting the equivalent of someone firing a Sig X5 and using that as baseline for all Sigs. It's a common mistake actually. Look at gunbroker descriptions for 92 inox. "All stainless steel"

I dislike the slide mounted safety/decocker, but i can work around it. What kills it for me is that, somehow, i can get them to stovepipe pretty damn regularly.... Open top slide and I can stovepipe.  . 1911's, CZ75 and BHP I don't have that issue with. Odd.

Old guys hate it because it replaced the 1911. Young guys hate it because its not plastic. Manly men hate it because its 9mm. Girly men hate it because the grip is too big. SIG guys hate it because it won the M9 trials (or was awarded the contract anyways ).
Ex- MIL hate it because the one they were issued was worn out with shitty mags. Concealed carry guys think its too big. Target shooters hate the sights. Paranoid types are afraid someone will jerk the slide off their gun. Personally I like it, not my favorite pistol but I'd trust it to get the job done. Lol this I for got about the slide release shit that works in the movies. Someone seriously told me that at the range early in my shooting career. |

While some numbskull will always manage to drop or hit the guide rod with the slide locked back, it's not the big problem it is with the metal one. In my experience, the plastic guide rod is an improvement. The plastic trigger I don't give two shits about because it neither hurts nor helps the gun. About all it does is cut down on manufacturing costs |

Well, back when Christ was a Corporal, and mil had just selected the M9 (92F), I took a look, and decided it was a bit... large for a 9mm, so I bought a 92FC. I was prepared to be disappointed, but I was pleasantly surprised when it shot dead-on accurate and reliably right out of the box. That said, I still don't like the DA first shot - the trigger is just too heavy. Thumb back the hammer, problem solved.
Now, there were a lot of complaints from the guys who shoot a lot for a living - especially the slide breaking. To the point where there was a saying that "You're not a SEAL 'til you eat Italian steel." |

I have very little time behind a 92FS, but it seemed OK. The safety location, on the other hand, sucks. And yeah, it did have a bit of a bulky feel to it. With original 15-round magazines, it's kinda too big for the round count you get. But now that there are 17 and I think someone in this thread said 18-round mags for it, the size:capacity ratio is a bit more balanced IMO.
(The "If I'm going to have a big gun, it better have a lot of bullets" rule). Not a fan of the way the sights are attached, seems like a dovetailed setup like most everyone else has used for a long time would be a better approach. I do think the flush-muzzle models (I think they're the Vertec or Elite versions?) are kinda sexy-looking. Take that slide and the frame below, maybe with a rail if you're carrying it for duty use (I've been converted to the pro-weaponlight cause for LE/mil duty carry, or SHTF overt carry if you insist, as well as HD), use the largest capacity flush fit magazines that are reliable in the gun, and I'd carry it gladly. Maybe with the D-series springs and, if the below pictured frame-mounted safety is unavailable, the G-series springloaded decocker. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sig is absolute shit these days. After working with hundred of M9's and Sig's alike, the M9 wins, hands down. Let me count the ways Doesn't rust all to hell like the Sig Doesn't come from the factory with out of spec recoil springs Doesn't drop its grip screws from normal firing That's enough bad experiences with sig for me, thanks. The M9/92 series are fine weapons. Yes they are big but not overly so. Some folks complain, but, but, the locking block. Yeah, they're good for about 15k rounds or more. I guess when you shear the lugs off your M16 Bolt, it's a horrible weapons too. Oh, and the M9 does not have a "fixed barrel" like a makarov, ffs. ETA: 13er gonna 13. You forgot Sig slides and frames cracking, firing pin retaining pins falling out of out of spec holes, sear springs breaking, and the list goes on for the Sig. I'd say our maintenance and repair costs at least doubled since switching Newest M9 locking blocks with a matching plunger and a good recoilspring guide will go far beyond 15k....probably more like double is more like it
I can't recommend new Sig classic series pistols to anyone anymore. Thier QC is disgusting. |

I was accounting for the old style locking blocks. I have not witnessed cracked frames but have noticed quit a bit of battering of the frames. Probably due to the fact that the recoil springs go to hell in one range session.

Sadly the Sig's are still better then the Beretta's despite all of the unproven one sided issues you listed. ETA: Douche Bag gonna Douche. |

Any serious IPSC competitor will go through at least twice that practicing in a single year. And you can find plenty of those IPSC shooters still on original to the gun 20 year old locking blocks because they actually replace recoil springs at a reasonable interval instead of once every never, like DOD does. Let your recoil springs go till they don't work properly, and shit will break on any gun. On Sig classic series pistols, the slide cracks right where the pocket that the spring and guide meets the rest of the slide. Other pistols are different. |

I think it is some of the Elite models and the 92G-SD's that were decocker only, so if you had to TRB the gun during a malf, and you accidentally flipped the lever down while slingshotting the slide, it was springloaded. It would be automatically flipped back to up, to the FIRE position, once the slide went into battery and the hammer dropped.
I did the inadvertent safety activation during a USPSA match once. Felt like a total idiot. I was squeezing and SQUEEZING! the trigger and I was like "WHY WON'T THIS GUN FIRE?!" . "Oh, yeah, durrrrr!".
