Beretta M9A3 or Sig Sauer P226 MK25

SIG versus Beretta: These two names are not often cross shopped, but when it comes to these two 9mm variants, I think many will look at both before choosing!

I have a Beretta 92fs and a Sig 229 Legion. My Sig cost twice as much as the Beretta but the Beretta shoots just as well if not better. The Sig does have a better trigger but the Beretta has less recoil and I just shoot it better. Both superb guns. Great video.

If I could only have one... the Beretta M9A3

[@MrHav1k]

Sig all day. Love my metal Sigs.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Both of these are outstanding tried and true sidearms. Tough decision so just buy both if you have $2000+ for them.

[@JustDefense]

Great choices for a head to head, apples to apples review. You’re right. Cant lose with either of them. Thanks for posting.

Add the CZ 75 and they were ALL made in 1975.

The 2 girls I want so badly....

[@jacruti]

Thank you very much for the time and the great information. very clear and go to the point thanks a gain.

[@farwalker3672]

Another great video. Both are excellent handguns and you could not go wrong with either one of them. That said the Beretta 92 series is just fantastic. The Beretta 92 is what I keep on my nightstand. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

I have to go with personal preference, both are excellent and reliable.

[@jasonfite397]

I really love the Sig night sites and how the grips fit my hand perfect .

[@Vox-Populi]

I’ve bought and sold several 92s, but have kept my SIGs. Prefer the manual of arms and shorter slide.

[@maddog8148]

The Beretta is an Italian Masterpiece....Period. Forza Italia!

[@MDpolo]

Thank you very much for the video. I’ve been looking for one of these - if not for both of them for quite some time now. Cheers!

MK25 look handsome and classics big handle best ergonomic for me outstanding fullsize handgun

[@flavforpar]

Sig all the way!

[@devildog3246]

I have the 92F, M9, M9A1, Italian Police surplus 92, and M9A3. I also have the P229, P226 .40/.357 Sig,(Bought in 1996), P226 Legion 9mm, P226 Mk25, and M17. I can honestly say the Beretta M9A3 is just a better pistol all around. I believe it should've been the pistol picked over the Sig M17. That being said, it's just one man's opinion. The Beretta is a much better shooter for me.

[@3wheelmannc860]

I like both for sure, but if I had to pick from one of those the newer Beretta M9A3 would be my pick.

[@lynch6642]

The Beretta 92F , y'all saw me shoot that helicopter didn't you?

Another excellent video Hammer Striker! The video is almost over as I type this comment. If I had to choose, I would narrowly go with the Beretta. My primary reason for going with the M9A3 is because I just shoot it better (especially when shooting fast for followed up shots). It's surprising because both of these guns have a higher bore axis than the guns I usually prefer, but I'm so accurate with the M9. I feel like the the P226 feels slightly snappier when I'm shooting fast. This is probably due to the M9's locking block mechanic and the open slide design (most of the reciprocating mass of the slide is underneath the barrel). Both have excellent triggers in single action with a nice break and short reset. In double action, I prefer the shorter trigger pull of the Sig P226 even though the Beretta has a slightly smoother double action trigger. I prefer the decocker on the Sig much more than the slide mounted safety/decocker on the Beretta. You can't accidentally put the gun in safety while racking the slide on the Sig. I've never had that issue with the Beretta but it's still a possibility under stress or if you don't have enough training with it (you could also get the decocker only model if you don't want to worry about this). The safety on the Beretta is simple to engage and disengage though as opposed to what some people think. The Sig is also easier to cut an optic for if you want to do that.
