I said earlier, "Glock vs. Beretta... Glock wins every time," You got me on this one Shipwreck. I was extremely wrong...

The Beretta Px4 is something else man, I purchased an used one today and shot it even, one can i just say I love the safety... Tested accuracy of my Glock vs. Beretta at 15 yards, 30 yards, and maybe 40-50 yards (idk really far away). Glock = Beretta, wonder if its that rotating barrel???

This may be my future duty gun, maybe Ill have one in .40 even, I like it that much

I will say I still think Glock has an advantage in that MANY officers (and federal agencies) use glock, interchangeable parts, mags, and etc. with your colleagues or people you run accross gives you an advantage in the field

The Glocks are good guns no doubt, my brother has a G17 Generation 1, and has never had a problem with it - even with his crappy reloaded ammo he shoots thru it! I have shot it, but don't care for the grip angle that much. I have to constantly tell myself to "aim low", otherwise my rounds hit high on the target. I have been practicing drawing and flicking the safety off on my Model 84F, so that it will be second nature if I ever had to deploy the weapon under stress. I'll stick to handguns with a safety on them myself - call it a personal preference.

I have to agree with you.. Glocks have the advantages.

@ Shipwreck

I actually really regret this post, after my own personal experiences I have to agree with you and not with my original position

I will say that Glock = Beretta = Sig = HK = Some S&Ws

This thread just goes to prove the saying, "Guns are Personal." That being said, there are some generalities to be made.

Having started with a Ruger 9mm, and then a FNX-9, and then a Cz-2075 RAMI, I have finally settled on the best gun FOR ME so far: The Cz 75 Shadow. But it definitely took time to get to that point. I shot a lot of other rental guns along the way:

- Beretta PX4 9mm Full Size: Loved the lower recoil and how the gun felt, I was more accurate with it, but didn't like the placement of the safeties because of how I like to rack the slide....it hurt my fingers. Also, the PX4 is thicker than I wanted for carry.
- Beretta 92: Great shooting gun, but I was not that accurate with it.
- Glock 17: Less muzzle-flip meant quicker target acquisition, but couldn't shoot that accurately...always shooting high. Also, just don't like the sights on the Glock.
- Sig 226: Great gun and was accurate with it, but don't like the width or weight of the gun. I may some day get a Sig yet...I really liked how it handled and was my favorite kind of action.
- S&W M&P: Love this pistol and may even buy one this weekend if it is still available through a used ad. Felt recoil is as good as the Cz 75 and low muzzle flip. Not crazy about the sights on the regular guns, but with a fiberoptic on the front, very nice.
- XD/XDm: Nice guns but just don't like the grip safety.
- Dan Wesson 1911: I shot one in a .45, and I really like the guns and next on my list to try at the range...a subcompact 9mm and .45. It is hard to get used to the trigger on the 1911's....for me.

My point is this: Each one of us has to figure out the right gun and that takes some time and experience until we get one that we can shoot accurately, fits properly, sights that fit our eyes and our vision, and triggers that fit our finger style.

So, I say: Why not BOTH a Beretta and a Glock!

I always carry the same gun as my favorite TV actor carries in his series.

Thomas Magnum carried a Government model 1911, and so did I.

Selleck, as police commissioner Reagan carries a blued snubbie.

And as Quigley Down Under, a rifle (which I wore with an inside the pants holster).

If you want to carry a Glock, you are emulating Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (The Closer, Kyra Sedgwick).

I own a couple of Glocks that I consider to be among my finest shooters. I took the plunge today on my first Baretta. Its a 950BS .25 Cal. pocket pistol.
Before you all start screaming for Pic's I just won it on auction today and wont actually be able to pick it up from my FFL for a couple of weeks. I also have my eye on a 92FS.

have 4 Glock 's, G 17 , G 26 , G 22 , and G35

just purchased first Beretta , 96 A 1 , just getting used to it, have it sitting in office at work along side the Cx4 Storm with changed out mags.

but when I go to collect $$ ? I holster the G22 with my Sig 238 as back up...

hope to become as comfortable with the 96 A1 as I am with the Glock's

No one worries about spelling here. We just type and shoot.

Your post makes no sense given the problems with a Glock's fit are they are two narrow and have a weird angle.

Decent collection, G 26 serves me good for some odd reason, I just can't put my fingre on it

Glocks are great when they belong to someone else

If you lay a Glock on top of a 1911, you'll be hard pressed to find one degree of angle difference (at least I was). I was supprised to find it was very close to the same angle from the receiver.

Glock's are like a block of wood, along with xd's, and strikerfire guns in general...give me a hammer every time.....

I find the Berettas handle better, feel more comfortable in my hand and go BANG every time as some say about the Glocks.

My father is a glock man, but that's what sold me on the px4 storm full size over glocks, the feel of them...and after shooting it....well.......game over......own 4 Berettas now, with another on lay-away...

I would take a Glock over Beretta any day, everyday. Berettas may feel better, but I have absolutely no luck with them whatsoever. Everyone I have ever tried to shoot has given me some sort of problem. Not only that but with the safeties, hammers, and whatnot that just means there are more parts to have to replace if something malfunctions. After all guns are just machines.

For what it is worth. The PX4 is the ugliest gun I have ever laid my eyes apon.

I'd just as soon be caught with a toothless crackwhore than be caught with a Glock.

Man that is funny - I about spit my drink all over myself.

And I agree to most of it.

I don't personally know any crackwhores to compare it too

And to make it even worse - I love Beretta's and especially the PX4 Storm

I have a Glock 19. As much as I agree with the Ops statements about ugliness and not being terribly comfortable to shoot -- the fact is I've yet to find another pistol that feels any better or that I can shoot as accurately (and that includes FS92s and PX Storms). Maybe it's because I've just gotten used to the Glock.

It's all based on personal preference...

EXACTLY.....I have fired glocks, dont like them ,I have only held a px4 in the gunshop but it felt better than the glocks by a bunch, and if were voting on looks alone I choose the px4 easily, glocks are futt bugly!!

Anyone who has nothing but troubles with Beretta's, well, clean them.............
