Beretta or Sig?

Beretta, because nutnfancy endorses sigs.

I picked Beretta, but I would save a couple hundos and get a CZ.

Yeah, I would not buy either one either.

Those are two of the best sidearms ever built. My answer of course is "both".

I voted for the Berretta as it was behind by 2 in the poll, but really I could be totally happy with a good specimen of either.

Great logic.

beretta: because that's what die hard and lethal weapon use!

Shot both. The p226 is far more accurate in my hands. Its like a laser.

I'd have to say get the sig, I have 2 sigs and love them, they are very well made and as long as you treat them well you shouldn't get a problem, and some will point out the military M9 thing, but they do also use the Sig 228 so it means nothing both are good but in my opinion. My advice would be to look at both, and get a feel for them, where all the levers and buttons are and how it fits your hand, then go with the one that feels right.

I bought a new Beretta 92FS, had it for a year and traded it for a new Sig 226 and never looked back.

Both my Sig 226 and Beretta 92FS were 100% reliable but for "me" the Sig is more accurate.

I didn't vote...

...because for "me" I don't like either!

A small explanation if you will...

When I was about 5 years old a bicycle accident left me without approximately 2/3 of the first digit of my right index finger, what is left is mostly scar tissue. I have always had a problem with trigger reach on double stack guns. I owned a 92FS and loved it, but alas could never shoot very accurately in DA. I shot a P226 and encountered the same problem.

Having said that I carry and shoot regularly single stack Sigs (P225 & P220), the P220 was my duty gun back in the days of LE. IMHO, Sig is the finest pistol I have ever shot for out of the box reliability & accuracy.

Now, if I ever came across one of the rare (or at least hard to find) single stack Berettas, I would not hesitate because I hold them in very high esteem as well.

BTW...as you can tell, I am new here...and I like what I see!!!

Luck of the draw.. so to speak

...

Either gun is a winner in my experience having both but -

IF you're interested in Warranty CS, satisfaction, and time covered then -

God help you if you have a Beretta warranty problem:

1. You, the customer, must pay the 60 bucks to send the/your warranty gun back to BUSA via UPS or Fed Ex next day air..

2. Expect a min, if lucky, of a long 3 weeks just shy of 1 month or longer, in many cases..

2a.. This, with a limited 2 or 3 yr warranty only

3. If you have a question or have to call their CS dept.. Be rdy to be on hold for a long time, then when someone does finally come on the line, be rdy for someone feeling almost as negative about the day as you..

3.a If you need any parts, don't call Beretta, you'll need to call the more expensive, IIRC, Brownells parts supplier as they now do all of Beretta's parts business as BUSA no longer supplies its own parts direct.. as their CS is overwhelmed as is, and as I said, you'll find out if you try and make a call to BUSA
_________________________

With Sig: When you call their CS, you'll get someone that is respectful and happy with their job.

They will send you a UPS shipping label to send your warranty gun back to them on their dime, the way it should be.

If you need CS and parts or questions, be prepared to be satisfied, like you count as a customer..

If you need parts, they have them there, unlike Beretta now..

Your gun is basically warranted for life


Other than that, 2 of the best guns in both trigger pulls and accuracy out of the box

Luck,

You must deal with a DIFFERENT Sig CS than I had to deal with. Because when I dealt with Sig CS I experienced everything you described about Beretta's CS except I do agree that Sig did send a prepaid mailing label.

Beretta doesn't use MIM, they use plastic.
