Beretta 92fs INOX or SIG P226 2 tone?? Login/Join 
Member

I know that this is a SIG forum, but here it is - what would you choose, a Beretta 92fs INOX or a SIG P226 2 tone(sorry i'm a sucker for Stainless guns because of the very high humidity here in our country)?...i already/only have one SIG a P229 EE 9mm, 2 glocks(17 & 19), 2 stainless Colt 1911s(Govt. & Commander) but no Berettas yet...are they still worth "collecting/owning"? Or is it's design really way past its time? I want something that i can enjoy shooting too....thanks!

I don't think you could go wrong with either. If I was faced with the same choice at the moment, I would choose the Beretta. Mostly because I don't have one and would like to own one.

That said, having shot both (My Dad has an Inox 92FS, and I have a few SIG's) I think the SIG is a bit more easy to handle than the Beretta. It's easier to break down, re-assemble, and the P226 has less muzzle flip than the 92. (I stress that these are my opinions.)

I just sold my INOX because the trigger sucked so I suggest you get the P226.

I own both, P226 and several Beretta 92 variants. My personal preference is for the Beretta. There is not a thing wrong with the P226, it's a great pistol and is nicely two toned from CCR. I have a 92A1 done in stainless by CCR, a 92 compact INOX, a vertec INOX, and a Wilson Brig Tac.

The Beretta just works better for me, it's my favorite full size 9mm. Feels good, super accurate, reliable, etc. I shoot well with it. My P226 kind of sits in the safe now.

Beretta I would pick. Bet-your-life reliable (just like the P226), but it fits my hands better. Btw, there's nothing "past its time" about it.

I heard some time ago that the 1911 is obsolete, also. Eek

If you already have a Sig get the Beretta. For me, the "age" of a handgun's design has nothing to do with whether I would buy it. I've owned Sigs for a lot longer than I've owned Berettas but I prefer the "feel" of the Beretta and I shoot it better than the the Sig (comparing a 92A1 to P226 9mm).

The Beretta 92 was the first handgun I ever bought. The P226, the second. They are both nearly equal in my eye, in terms of handling, accuracy, and most importantly, reliability.

Of the two you suggest, I would go with the Beretta. The reason being, I don't like 2-tone pistols. That is a completely personal preference. I also happen to think the Inox 92 is one of the sexiest handguns ever created.

I say Beretta. There is just something special about those INOX Beretta's.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and rally another vote for the 92. Sold a fine INOX speciman a while back and hve been regretting it ever since.

Hows the durability of the silver anodized alloy frame? does it stand well to kydex holster wear?

Hmm...I'm a leather guy so one of the other brutha's will have to opine. Generally, I found it to be quite durable for normal handling.

The last pistol I would ever part with is my Beretta. I don't know if you can get the "D" spring for it, but if you can, it is worth it.

P226. I don't like pistols with the safety/decocker on the slide. Especially if they're ambi.

Sig. The decocker is in a better location, IMO. The grip is not over-sized. Sights are more easily perfectable. The decocker is not at risk for putting the gun on 'safe' inadvertantly, two-tones are too cool.

Not on your list but not to be over-looked, the CZ 85 in matte nickel with black controls. That's a red hot momma.

already had a CZ75 sometime 20 years ago its a nice and reliable pistol but the finish ia a bit rough for my taste..and during that time its hard to get leather gear for it..and the finish doesnt hold up with our humidity..

Im a leather guy too but since i only plan to use this Inox 92FS rarely im thinking of getting a kydex holster because its cheaper.
