Beretta m9 vs sig m18/17

[Vader8675309]

I pick the gun that doesnt explode frequently. The P320 is an abomination

They need to just admit it and fix it.

Since you also made a 1911 an option, I choose that over both the M9 and the m17/18.

Between a 1911 and M9 is a tough one. Both are very accurate guns. I guess Id still go Beretta for higher capacity, lighter weight, and reliability. Not saying the 1911 isnt reliable but I think they require more maintenance than the M9 to stay reliable. I believe the USP is the most reliable 45 besides maybe the Glock 21. If Im going 45 Id go USP. But the 1911 is very accurate and easy to shoot.

I go 1911 for the ergonomics.
M9 and P320's both have high bore axis so they recoil funny vs a 1911.
I would go high capacity 9mm in a 1911 platform and end up with more capacity than an M9 with better shot-to-shot recovery.
Something roughly like this for example: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1103612443

The horror stories with the P320 is what caused me to never want one tbh and I am a Sig fan, but I’d say the Beretta M9 of the two choices for sure

 

[JackRydden224]

P320 without a doubt. It can off me so I don’t have to participate in SHTF scenarios.

 

[Custodian]

Beretta M9 is my selection. My personal choice is Shadow Systems MR/DR920P model since you can switch between gen1-5 slides on the top of a Gen4 frame.

 

[21SF 2.0]

People are still in denial about the sig…

Interesting that whole debacle is. I am aware of two prominent gunsmiths who have been said to replicate the discharges on demand, however politics and career survival keeps them from going mainstream.
A family member carries a M18 as issued while on duty, but will NOT carry such on their own time.

FNX-45

92FS/M9 is better than the 320. The military switching to the M17/18 was a stupid move that was completely unnecessary.

For a SHTF scenario, capacity should be a major deciding factor. Hospitals will likely be overwhelmed, gutshot enemy combatants will drop like flies from infection if not treated quickly. I'd say the M9 with a Beretta happy stick would definitely do the trick.

 

[CZsguns]

I'll cast a vote for the CZ75

 

[MattB]

I’ll take my personal Beretta 92FS. I’ve upgraded it with a Novak rear sight and an LTT trigger job in a bag.

 

[jarhead714]

92 Brig with the G-model decocker and D-model hammer spring is my bag. I own two for the Santa Ana Reload.

I agree with everything you said except for that part about the USP. It’s an overweight brick with a crap trigger that cost 50% more than it should because it says Hk on it.

 

[Fiiyablade]

The military should've gotten the 19x.

 

[jarhead714]

As soon as one of them off roster SAO 92Xi models pop up for sale for only 50% above MSRP instead of 100, I’ll snap one up.

 

[FonzV88]

Which would you guys carry for SHTF
zombie apocalypse’s, war world 3 , civil war etc
Which would you trust to be by your side ?
I personally pick the m1911a1 45acp baby !

I'll stick with the M9A1

 

[jarhead714]

I'll stick with the M9A1

M9A1 with a Brigadier slide is where it’s at.
