My only issue with Berettas over Sigs is I don’t like where the Beretta trigger breaks. But as a total package I think Beretta is better. A 92 variant and a PX4cc would be a really great TDA combo. For pure shooting I shoot a 226 better than just about anything else out there. It’s just not my favorite pistol to carry and unfortunately Sig doesn’t offer anything in the same class as a Compact Carry.
Dovetail mounts generally set the RDS too high and typically preclude readily adjustable and usable BIS...
A few years ago, Beretta brought me over to their fantastic factory in Italy and we had a day long discussion regarding terminal ballistics and weapon trends--seems they did not fully pay attention to what was stated...
Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
The closest Sig has is the P229c: a P229 grip with P224 slide.Originally Posted by GreggW

The only thing about it is they mostly made it in .40S&W and .357 Sig. 9mm models were a bit more rare last I knew.
“Conspiracy theories are just spoiler alerts these days.”
I’d buy that gun right there in 9mm. That looks great.

I’ve put enough rounds and time on my Wilson 92BT and a 92C to realize I don’t shoot them as well as I do my 226/239 combo. The trigger breaking point is one reason. The 226 is the gun I shoot best across the board with speed and accuracy. My Wilson BT has a LTT TJIB and my 226 has a GrayGun duty tune, so I think it’s a pretty fair comparison. The 92s are in the safe now for good except as playthings.
I’ve tried to love the 228 but I get jump thumb (like Glock knuckle but different) when pushing speed from the holster. This is why in days past I preferred the 225 over the 228, despite the size and capacity issues. It’s why I now prefer the 239 over the 228 or 229.
I spent some of last week working with the 228 again. I’m going to order a set of factory grips and sand that F-ing hump off to make it more 226ish and give that a try.

@LSP552 which version of the 228 do you have?
I absolutely loved my 229. I wasn’t as good of a shooter when I owned it though and talked myself into believing that I could shoot something else better. I generally like classic series Sigs better than anything else including nice 1911’s. I really don’t know why I keep talking myself out of going back to them full time.
LSP issued P220s and P228s for a long time, Trooper’s choice. Most of the time I carried a personal 226, went 220 for a couple of years but went back to 226 just because I shot it much better than the .45. Did the Glock thing for years then went back to the 226 and retired with a Bruce Gray tweaked 226R in my holster.
My last issues LSP pistol was a 228 born in 2000. I was able to purchase it when I retired in 2008. I can’t stand the extra large hump compared to the 226. I need to try sanding that down a bit see how it works.
I’m right there beside you with the SIG thing. I need to quite chasing rabbits....
Surprised the CZ didn’t get mentioned until post 17.
I’m a huge fan of the Beretta 92, but I see the CZ as more of the DA/SA equivalent of our time. The variations, and possibilities are much greater than what you can do to a 92, IMHO.
Careful or you will make that the next rabbit hole I go down.....
If you mean the excessive general curvature of the "back strap," these might be worth looking into:
Hogue G10 checkered are my favorite grips for any classic Sig I've tried them on. More comments here.
Interesting to see you hanging up the Berettas. Last I remember, unless I'm confused by the tiredness at this hour, you were very enthusiastic about them.
