If I had to settle for just one gun

Good luck finding ammo for it.

Would've been standard in Germany if the wall hadn't come down. Communists ruin everything

92F is M9, that's just the US military designation. XM9 is basically an advanced 92F, meaning it has a rail and a silencer adapter.

Sig isn't made in Germany anymore and most are part polymer. 9mm isn't a focus for me and so I'd want a cheap, full metal pistol. Beretta is best in class in that regard.

See, I thought so too. Then I looked it up because I knew someone would correct me if I said so, and it turned out there is some tiny fucking difference which technically means the M9 and 92F aren't the same gun... According to some Futurama-style bureaucrat.

Contrary to what many people think, the Beretta M9 and 92FS are not the exact same pistol. ... The 92FS has a three dot sight system, whereas the M9 has a two dot system instead (which many actually prefer since it can be easier to line up the sights). The 92FS also has a radiused back strap, which the M9 lacks

Holy fucking shit, what a meaningless distinction.

I used to hate polymer guns until I shot some sig ones. They're really good.

At least in the US, Beretta are not cheap. If you want a full-metal, cheap pistol, you're probably better off here scouting around for a Tokarev or some shit. Of course, it'll probably be a pile of shit but that's not my problem. For the money, I still think Sig are better than Beretta but both are good so it's not a big deal which someone prefers.

Meaningless distinction since there are slightly different versions of the 92FS as well.

Now what good would a fucking Tokarev do me for a 9mm Luger discipline?
The Beretta 92 handles well, is full steel construction and costs, in a high end version, about as much as the CZ75, which I hate.

There are better 9mm pistols but I am not going to spend 3k plus on a discipline I am not all that interested in in the first place. That money would be better spent on a nice revolver or 45ACP.

I forgot it had to be 9mm. I know that some arab fucks made cheap shitty copies of the 92. Helwan, I think. Quite a bit cheaper.

Pretty much all military adopted weapons are subtly different from the standard version. For example an M16 isn't exactly like the Armalite AR-15

[Kugelfisch]

It's silly to split hairs about it anyway. When it's mechanically just about the same in every regard, claiming it's a different weapon would also mean that all custom shop models are totally different.

If there's less of a difference than between an AK47 and an AKM it's not worth mentioning.

Good luck making caseless fucking ammo by yourself, ohio bum. I know you're retarded but goddamn.
