| I only want one 9mm due to having and liking 40 and 45 better...... I want to maybe do 3 gun someday with it. but I am deciding between the beretta 92a1 or sig 226... help me. |
| Another thing I forgot to mention in negative of the Sig is depending on your grip style. Some people who grip high on a handgun or with a thumbs forward style, will find themselves accidently engaging the Sig's controls causing the slide not to lock back when empty. |

Good arguments could be made for either. Cost of accessories and mags in favor of the beretta. What do you shoot better? Only if you buy checkmates or other .mil contract mags, Mec-Gar mags are about the same for both (about $23ea) I personally would not waste my money on Checkmate's, my Sig and Beretta both sport Mec-Gar Optimum's I really like the Beretta's DA pull with the "D" spring instaled, But then again I like the Sig's SA and reset with the SRT better than the Beretta's SA |

I do this every single time unless I am thinking about it, I really hate the "tucked thumb" grip 
Years of shooting 1911's and Glocks have coded it in my brain to use the "thumb forward" grip style |

Both are roughly equal except for the following:
Beretta: slide mounted safety is kind of a PITA. No dovetail front sight. D-model mainspring can easily be installed to improve trigger. Mag catch can be swapped to the other side. SIG: Goofy slide stop lever location Personally I've gotten rid of all my SIGs and kept the Berettas. YMMV. |
