Do you own a Beretta 9mm, what kind is it?  How do you like it, what problems have you encountered before or have, how does it handle?  Just like a review of the pistol would be nice cause I am a die hard Beretta, HK, Para-Ord, S&W, and Springfield fan.

As much as I prefer stainless handguns, I sold off the Inox 92 and kept a blue 92FS, mostly because of the SS front sight being harder to see and the blue one (in this case) seemed more accurate.
Having large hands, I still find the 92 hand filling.
Reliable to the extreme, classic look and used by the U.S. are enough reasons for me to keep it, let alone original 15 round magazines are easier/cheaper to locate.

I've owned a 92FS for 4 years now and LOVE it. This weapon is easy to shoot and quite accurate (mine's a 9mm). IMHO, I don't care what anyone says about slide-mounted safeties and such, they're great handguns. I also own Browning, SIG, S&W & Spfld. Armory. Love 'em all.

I have a Cougar 8040. Not a 9mm but with the locking barrel design the guns recoil feels like a 9mm.  I am very pleased with it.  My only dislike is that mine is DA only so it has a lot of trigger movement before it breaks.

Beretta 92FS is a great weapon.

Accurate, reliable, beautiful.

I've got a Beretta 92- it certainly has some downsides-large and heavy for a 9mm handgun and kind of a thick grip, difficult to conceal-however I have about 3k (maybe more) rounds through it consisting of Wolf, Silver Bear, Danish Nato Surplus, Fiocchi, American Eagle, UMC, and S&B; and with good quality mags I have NEVER had a malfunction. I think the weight also makes it a very easy gun to fire quickly and accurately.

Ya, its definetly no pocket rocket.

It is a fine combat handgun though.

Read the thread- 92FS vs $500 1911 .

Beretta 92FS, blued, would part with my Colt and the Kimber before I'd part with my Beretta.  

Bet your life reliable, accurate, easy to field strip unlike the two 1911's (curse you, full-length guide rod, curse you! I was able to disassemble my Norinco blindfolded), and while large it still conceals easily.  That size also soaks up the snappy recoil the 9mm generates.
