Beretta was really onto something when they designed this pistol. Granted that it draws a fair bit of inspiration from the Walther P-38, but in my opinion Beretta took the design a step further and just make a fantastic pistol.

Some will argue that the 92 Series pistols are too big and too heavy for 9mm, but personally I think that the size/weight are more of a pro than a con because it makes the gun easy for practically anybody to shoot.
Frankly, I feel that the US Army's decision to adopt the SIG P320 as their new sidearm over upgrading to the Beretta M9A3 was a mistake. Not only would they have saved money, but they wouldn't have had to deal with the teething issues of the SIG.
