Chance for a like new Beretta 92FS, or a like-new S&W M&P 2.0 Full size 9mm. Both about the same price. Won't CC either (too big/heavy) but for home/range. Which one do you go with, and why? (Pre-Ban mags not an issue, as I live in a free state).

92FS is a soft shooting, all metal, DA/SA classic. Can't go wrong with it.
Sure, but it's still a nice change from a stock plastic pistol like a Gen 3 glock.Horrible sear creep in most of them.
Buy a 92X = problem dodged
There's no f****** way I would ever take a stock 92fs over a stock gen 3 Glock no f****** way never ever in a billion years. F*** that Seer creep it just gets in your brain and it screws up your shooting. I didn't realize it until I had owned a 92fs for a while and then a friend of mine had the same gun and it has the same f****** s***** trigger in it. Blech.Sure, but it's still a nice change from a stock plastic pistol like a Gen 3 glock.
Hard to shoot it fast on SA mode like glock staple gun trigger mode. is that what you are refferring to?There's no f****** way I would ever take a stock 92fs over a stock gen 3 Glock no f****** way never ever in a billion years.

I have a 92X Centurion now, though, and it's decent.... but it makes 92fs look like doodoo.

Not an option. The two are either the 92FS or the S&W. Only reason I'm considering the 92 is cheap mags and it's dirt cheap for it's condition. Plus reputatiion.Horrible sear creep in most of them.

Nope!Of those two, I would choose the USP9.
.40 is ghey!Neither are very good guns imo. The beretta has a horrible DA and weird ergonomics that only fit people with creepily small hands. The M&P is a lousy copy of late 20th century tupperware technology. Buy a .40 glock instead.
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.In what strange scenario outside of a post apocalypse burglary are these the only two choices?
Started looking at a reasonably priced M&P 2.0 in .45acp. Liked them in the past. But with the price of .45 being double that of 9mm, and having lots of 9mm already, guess I won't switch calibers. So, started looking at the 9mm version. I like that they come with a manual safety. While looking, I stumbled upon the Beretta in excellent condition in the $400 price range. Had a compact years ago. Lots of fun - as long as you don't leave it in a lockbox in your car during the winter. Frostbite at 20 degrees hurts. LOL.How about S&W 5906? All-metal double stack 9mm, but more compact and easier to carry then the 92FS
Not for what I'd care for. Shot Glocks for years; love cheap mags, parts, and the ability to take it all apart. Not a fan of the triggers or texture.couldn't you find something better for the $?
Nope. Don't want a single action. Decided against switching to another, more expensive caliber.I'd find a used $600 SR1911 that will retain its value better and be more fun to shoot.
They are priced reasonably, with inexpensive mags, in a caliber that I have lots of ammo for. I'm happy with the M&P triggers (remember, I'm free state - no MA flocked-up trigger pulls).In what strange scenario outside of a post apocalypse burglary are these the only two choices?
