Of all my M&Ps I carry my 9c the most. Today I picked up a Beretta 92 FS Compact Inox and thought I'd post some photos next to my M&P 9c. I've always like the Beretta 92 series along with the old 3'rd generation S&W semi autos. Now everything is high speed/low drag polymer. I've always felt that the 92s and 3'rd Gen Smiths were safer pistols with their traditional DA/SA systems and hammer drop safetys. When I saw the new Beretta 92 Compact at Shot Show I had to have one. The last INOX 92 I bought was way back in 1990 and I used it as a duty pistol for the last 10 years of my career.
As you can see from the photos the 92 Compact is larger than my 9c. But it feels great in hands and I can see carrying it IWB during cooler jacket weather. The last 5 pistols I've bought all had polymer frames so it was refreshing buying an all metal pistol for a change. As much of a S&W guy I've always been I have to admit that Beretta still makes a fine semiauto.
