...or at least thats what my friends tell me. Most if not all of the guys I know are .45 guys and thus Sig, HK and 1911 junkies. As a result Beretta happens to be a 4 letter word, and up until yesterday I was also one who loved to rib on buddies of mine who carried one of those "canoli" shooters.
Well, I went into the gunshop yesterday and they had a used brigadier on the shelf. Just for kicks I asked to see it. I was astonished how well it fit my hand. The trigger felt good, not John Moses Browning good, but good. It pointed nicely as well. That, the fact that they seem to be reliable, and a 5" barrel sounds like a nice range/carry/beater/nighstand gun.
So heres my problem. 92fs or brigadier? I really like the lines of the fs, but the grips on the brigadier are just peachy. Assuming I can switch grips, i guess my question really comes down to whether or not the extra bulk on the brigadier slide will matter at all.
Ive heard that the heftier slide increases muzzle flip? Thoughts from any beretta owners.
