The Beretta is the best club I have ever fired. The damned thing is so bulky and heavy that it would be great if you needed to beat the hell out of your opponent, because shooting him with the damned thing would only make him mad!

I agree 9-11 lbs makes it a great weapon if you need to beat your oppenent into the dust now in my opinon if you shot someone with this and they found out when they got home they would be extremley irritated with you! If you threw this at someone it would have more stopping power than shooting them with it.

We use the 92D Centurion as a duty weapon and I love the gun. The Centurion is a little smaller than the regular 92D, which makes it easier to shoot. The trigger pull while long, is smooth and consistent. I am also a firearms instructor and it is easy to teach people to use this weapon because there are no extra levers to deal with.

Fine weapon, though I have the 96. 3 versions; 96D Police special, 96D Brigadier Police special, and a 96FS Inox Vertec Police Special. All with Trijicon. I do prefer the DAO as there is a consistent trigger pull, no exposed hammer or external safety lever to get hung-up on anything, and in a stressful situation... it's simplicity makes it reliable. Beretta makes great firearms and this is no exception. I have 5 Berettas, 1 Glock17, 1 S&W5946, and 1 Springfield XD40. None have ever had a failure of any kind (only factory amunition used).

My duty sidearm... It'll get the job done, but not my favorite.

This is my issued duty weapon. It gets the job done per-say, has accuracy and have not had a failure to fire in the 5 years I have worked with this gun. Murphy will prove me wrong some day thou.

Note! I only have one range day under my belt with this weapon. Not much different from the 92FS which I carried [FORCED] for many years. I found the weapon to be a little more friendly then the 92FS. I did like the mid-size over the full size. The 'DA only' was not an issue with me [Glock Owner], but far more trigger pull then I like in a DA gun. I have that same sick feeling and voice inside warning me about this weapon as I did with my 92FS. May be St. Michael is warning me? This weapon has not earned my trust. With problems & weapon failures noted by the instructors during training, that voice sounds like 'Screaming' to me right about now. Scary thing to say when your life may be on the line. The agency is talking about going to a Sig 229 DA gun. I say GOOD. However, If I was given a choice [which will never happen] I would have my time true trusted friend [15000+ rds w/no issues] Mr. Glock 22 on my belt really to see me home. I'll repost if anything changes [it I get the chance].
