I had both an M&P9 and a Beretta 92fs and the Beretta was really something special. However, guys IDPA use the M&Ps a lot and so do police departments. Of course Armed forces issue Berettas' so I guess it comes down to what style pistol you prefer. Do want no saftey and a light trigger when you here the bump in the night or a hard first pull with optional saftey. If you plan on mexican carry defenitly go with the
Beretta to avoid shooting your junk.
In all seriousness If you want a range gun I'd go with the Beretta. So accurate and the trigger is great. I really regret selling the one I had, but I bought a police trade-in 5906 so I'm pretty happy shooting it. Good luck.
