Anyone who says the Berreta 92/96 is too big, bulky, or not the gun for them is not giving the right chance, it is so close in size to a S&W sigma but more accurate with the longer barrel, feels perfect in hands, especially with hogue rubber grip!!!
This gun has more conversons and accesories than almost any other handgun, besides 1911 and equal with glocks.
It is known for being one of the most reliable and accurate semiaut pistols in the world, and all u 45 fans need to look at ballistics, a 40 cal has a better chance at a one shot stop than a 45, more velocity and muzzle lbs than 45, and is much cheaper. That is y most LE use them! look at chuckhawks pistol ballistics chart and u can see for yourself, and that is not even with the best 40 rounds, a 135grn Corbon rnd has over 585 ft/lbs of muzzle energy which will blow ANY 45 OUT OF THE WATER!
Not raggin on the 45, it is big and slow and has great stopping power, but the 40 cal is a great round for people who want the speed and clip capacity of a 9mm and the stopping power of a 45, that is why this round is used buy our finest!

If you've got big hands and long fingers then the Beretta might feel good, but the width is 1.5" which is even fatter that a Glock 17 (1.18").
Do the Hogue grips reduce the thickness or add to the thickness?

I don't own one but I have shot them and liked the one I shot. I think its probably one of the best if not the best looking auto pistol out there.

I have two, a 92FS Inox and
M9A1. The 92FS is one of my favorite pistols. I added a SS guide rod and Wolf 16 pound main spring. The gun is incredibly accurate and reliable. The M9A1 is NIB and I may sell or trade it in the future. No particular reason for not firing the M9A1 just haven't had the desire to do so. I bought the M9A1 on the spur of the moment and really didn't need another 92 variant.

Like the 92
I have several BERETTA 92 and 96 models and have shot many others. The 96D Brigadier was agency gun for about 8 years.
I prefer the D models with double action only triggers without a manual safety, maybe because that is all I have been issued for the last 12 years.
BERETTA has hands down the best double action only triggers I have tried. They are much better than the S&W and SIG pistols that I have used.
On the other hand, the 92 fits my hand well, but the COMPACT grip fits even better and I shoot it slightly better than the full size model.
I have also found the VERTEC model fits my hand better than the standard pistol.
I wear the 92d COMPACT when I am off duty and keep the .40 S&W caliber 96d as my house gun.

The agency I work for issues the Berreta Vertec 9mms. I just did my yearly qualification and I shot a 328 out of 330. Our course of fire includes 15 shots at 25 yards. We had no malfunctions of the weapons either. I like them better than the Rugers we used to carry. The Vertecs have a smaller grip than the older Berettas and I don't find them overly large for the caliber at all. In fact I would say my M&P is a little bulkier though it is lighter.
