so after getting the S&W 22A and became pretty good with it, I'm thinking about upgrading, perhaps a Beretta 92FS Inox version... hummmm
 
get something that has a better kick than beretta :D

Something challenging like Hi-Point .45
 
Why not get something that packs a punch like a s&w XD .40?
 
I think you'll find Beretta's to be a great gun and great customizing capability. The 92 series has a tone of goodies you can get for it. Not as many as some others and I think their pricing is a bit higher, but they do make a great product.
 
because I want to get a beretta 92 before going up, and the next one after that is probably a 1911 .45 ... I read bunch of reviews for 9mm and it all boils down to beretta vs glock.... I plan to go with beretta because it's got longer barrel, safety mech that's different from glock's safety, bigger grip, and of course the look.
 
I can't recommend highly enough the Kimber 1911, I bought my custom classic stainless about 9 years ago. 5 inch barrel, beavertail grip safety, and super tight tolerances. Nothing is loose on this weapon even today after putting thousands of rounds through it. Smooth, good balance, accurate for an automatic and good looking in stainless. My only gripe is the stingy capacity, I can only carry 8 rounds when I have one in the pipe. Aftermarket magazine gives you an extra round.
 
I've fired couple 92s, and with the gun loaded, I didn't think it was too heavy, in terms of jamming, well, I love cleaning my guns... perhaps it's a good habit, but I've also heard people firing the 92 without a single jam.

XD is definitely not made by s&w.

Oh and not to piss in your pool kombat but barettas are trash. They are too heavy, poorly designed, jam easy and are overall just trash. Only reason why that is tue military service pistol right now is because it is cheap and the rounds are cheap. The minute sand or mud hits it, it malfunctions. But like bob said it is great for after market addition because of the military. I probably have a bias opinion about it though because I have shot alot of pistols, revolvers, and rifles and it's my Least favorite to shoot. Most likely because
I always end up being the ncoic of the 9 mil range and it's so boring and I have to fix that POS so many times.

Considering I own one, that was retarded, my bad, its Springfield armory.

You do realize I have about 20 of these in my arms room close to 100 across the my battalion that my section services. The jamming aspect has little to to with the cleanliness of the weapon and pretty much every thing to do with the poor construction of how the weapon assembles. I don't have a choice that is the pistol the army issues. If I did I wouldn't by trash. But hey it is your money.

I also don't understand why a Gun needs a safety either or why people consider that when buying
a pistol. The safety on the baretta is in the stupidest spot EVER. My philosophy is a gun
Is not a toy or a SAFE thing so why create the illusion of safety by putting safe on it. If you always practice muzzle and trigger awareness there really is no need for a safety. All a safety is going to do is prevent you from shooting when you really need to. That fraction of a second that you go to pull and it's on safe could cost you your life. It's like the dude said on black hawk down "this here is my safety sir". It is true. Only put you finger on the trigger when you want to put a round
down range.

100% absolute truth. Also agree with everything you said about the 92: a jamming, heavy, clumsy....and a 12 lb trigger? Seriously? I know you can lighten it but damn. Did I mention I hate that fucking gun? I have (free from Uncle Sam) all the damn thigh/shoulder/IBA/Molle holsters (and associated mag pouches) you can dream of for it (as I'm sure Renno does as well) and still don't own one for the simple hatred of that gun. Sorry, end of rant.

I think the USP series from HK are probably the best pistols out there, but that's me. You can order one customized a billion different ways, all the popular calibers, etc. For a 1911, Kimber is really the only one to look at. Bad thing about HK and Kimber, is $$$$$$, especially Kimber. Sig is another brand I'd consider.

Heckler & Koch - USA My first choice.

Kimber > 1911 Pistols > Tactical II > Tactical Entry II™

Products & Services I think all Sig's are DAO which would really suck, but not sure.

Then just in case the Zombies really come a Ps-90. It doesn't get much better than a 5.7 mm 50 round magazine to fill all your zombie killing needs.

A buddy of mine brought his PS-90 over a couple of months ago and we put a few hundred rounds through it. Pretty snazzy bull pup. The magazine is really odd though, the ammo turns 90 degrees as it descends down from the top mag into the breach. Really accurate on open sights. The magazine is a little strange to load and time consuming.
