6 weeks ago I bought my first Beretta. This is the only pistol I've ever done anything serious with besides a Glock or M&P. In 6 weeks my shooting has drastically improved (proof in my training journal) and I attribute a lot of it to what this Beretta DA trigger has taught me about trigger control. Every time I shoot it I'm amazed at what I'm able to wring out of it and I can't help but feel I'm barely scratching the surface. To date I have 688 rounds through the Beretta. In that same time frame I've put 1,333 rounds through Glocks with tens of thousands of rounds through Glocks up until this point.
Today was an important milestone in the Beretta journey as it's the first opportunity I've had to work with the Beretta out of a holster. It just so happens to also be my first time ever using an SLS holster ever. Yesterday I timed my draw to 3x5 at 7yds with my Glock 45 from a Bladetech OWB. My average across 10 draws was 1.7 with 8/10 hits. Today with the Beretta from the SLS my average (after only 15 draws to body) to the 3x5 across 10 draws was 1.89 with 8/10 hits. Actual numbers shown below. It's skewed high by a couple 2+ runs where I missed the hood.
So here's where I'm at: I'm nipping the heels of the performance of a platform with TONS of time invested with a platform I've barely messed with. That makes me think, "Wow, what could I accomplish if I really dug in with the Beretta?"
So now comes the real question: How bad of an idea is it to sell both G45's and my 92A1, pick up a pair of LTT's and run the piss out of them?
Other thoughts: the 92's DA trigger translates nicely to the 642, which is what I actually carry 5 days a week.
I'll finish the post with some other performance metrics between the 92A1 and G45. Appreciate all thoughts and feedback:
Best ever G45 B8 @ 25yds (97/100):
92A1 on the same day, less than a week into owning it (stock sights, drive the dot hold, 95/100):
Best ever 92A1 B8 @ 25yds (99/100):
FBI Bullseye with 92A1 (294/300):
FBI Bullseye with G45 (285/300):
