Beretta 96FS Inox...

I'm going to do an update now that I have owned this pistol long enough to get familiar with it.

Currently I'm trying to get it to hiccup. I have 300-400 rounds of the cheapest .40 caliber crap threw it with zero maintenance of any kind and still this pistol refuses to malfunction in any way. Accuracy from what I can see is still excellent. I was nailing targets at 65 yards Friday.

Ergonomics are just about perfect as far as I can tell. I'm a huge 1911 fan and this is one of the few pistols that's not a 1911 that I really like. Trigger could be better, but than again its not a 1911.

I'm really glad I got the .40S&W instead of the 9mm. Having shot both I think its a great 9mm handgun but why not use the weight? With .40S&W it has a bit more stopping power and the mass of the pistol tames the snappy nature of this cartridge perfectly.

As far as shooting I noticed at 65 you have to aim a bit high, at 10 yard which I was doing Friday you have to aim low. At 10 you line up the sights and cover the target with the body of the pistol to get them to hit. At 65 you have the target 3/4 to the top of the front blade if that makes sense. Also Winchester white box is to be avoided. For some reason my Beretta had some crazy fliers with white box.
Conclusion:
Its a fantastic defensive pistol that is accurate to at least 65 yards; and at least to me seems like a piece that can be counted on in the worst imaginable conditions. Solid buy in my book.
