| They are very nice but far from superior. The superior firearm is the one you shoot well, durable, accurate and it's somewhat affordable. I transitioned my by Department from Sig P229 to Gen 4 Glocks because of cost, ergonomics (grip size), ease of use (one trigger pull) and durability (less lube, runs with less care, $ for parts and ease of maintenance- glock tool vs Sig armorers kit). I shot my off duty P229 tonight and prefer it to my issued Glock but for the Dept, Glock made more sense.

| I honestly think you can generally only compare generations of weapons vs specific ones when talking about high end firearms. I would argue the Beretta 92 and P22x series are equal. Individuals will find them better or worse on a personal level and each have individual pros and cons. I think we can say the Beretta 92/P22x generation of pistols is absolutely superior to what came before (by generation I mean all the high quality pistols that came out around that generation) I would argue the current plastic fantastics are generally superior to the generation that the SIG P series / Beretta came from. I wouldn’t argue a Glock is superior to a 320 or vice versa. Before everybody jumps on me I love metal frame pistols and think a P226 or 92 or CZ are incedibly capable platforms and certainly more “desireable” as a hobbiest. That said plastic fantastics are generally more durable, require less maintenance, are cheaper, have fewer parts, and can be easily spooged out in all shapes and sizes.
