Thinking about trading for a Beretta or CZ

[cguedr]

So I got an American Classic II 1911 by Metro Arms that I finally was able to take to the range, and it ran great, really accurate (as are most 1911s), but I'm really thinking about getting something like a Beretta or CZ P-01. Lighter alloy frame, cheaper 9mm ammo, both are obviously well-made pistols. I don't know, I'm struggling with this one.

I would at least finger bang each one before making a decision. Im scared of the Beretta 92 trigger.

I've "finger banged" all 3. What about the Beretta trigger scares you?

I prefer the m9 but both are fine pistols. the m9 is super easy to swap the standard hammer spring for a DAO spring to make it feel more like a sig without efecting reliability. The stock hammer spring in 92 is was over powered due to being build for army standards to shoot ammo from all over the world but I have not had any issues whatsoever with the D spring with US made com ammo or even us made nato ammo.

Not that you NEED to swap anything for it to be a fine pistol.

Both are good pistols. I prefer the balance of the CZ steel framed 75Bs in full size. Haven't shot a M9/92 in a while and cannot offer a good critique but remember it being a well made accurate gun. I don't think you could go wrong with either one. Are you looking at the SP-01 Shadow or Phantom or the shorter barreled P-01??

 

[cguedr]

Smaller P-01. Mostly because it fits my hand so well.

Any thoughts on the Beretta 92 compact? Or what about a smaller Sig, like the 228 or 229?

Beretta 92 sub is a nice gun also.... The sig 228 or 229 are very well made pistols. I've heard alot of sig quality control issues is recent years but I've never personally ever had a problem with any I have owned.
