Beretta 92 comes in three sizes: full, centurion and compact. It’s got DA/SA and an external safety decocker, making it among the safest of pistols. I’d trade a little more weight which just reduces perceived recoil to get those safety features and all metal construction. Capacity and accuracy are the same, I think. There are some top experts running the beretta, too. Supposedly it’s capable of three inch groups at 50 yards in capable hands. Glock certainly has the cool factor but so does beretta, I think. I looked closely at most of the options out there and I think beretta has most to offer and can serve you well from beginner to expert. Due to its firing mechanism and balance it also reduces limp wristing, which is nice for beginners.
