So recently I've been wanting to replace my Beretta 92fs. Not because there's anything wrong with it; it's super accurate and unfailingly reliable, but I'm ready to move on. Being a bear of very little means, I will trade it in for my next purchase.

Yes, they do have a larger-than-life reputation for reliability and a cult-like following that's rivaled only by MAC users and Obama supporters. So I pushed them way down on the list of possibilities.
Then something started to happen. Maybe my eyesight's getting worse, maybe all the Glockiganda (I'm getting a trademark for that one

I was impressed, to say the least.
So the power of the dark side is strong, and I'm being pulled into it. Now to decide which one...
