I am looking to buy a full size semi auto pistol. I plan to get a 9mm as my carry piece is a 9 mm and I have loads of brass, primers, and projectiles to reload in 9 mm, so I think that staying in the same caliber makes sense. I currently carry a Walther PPS which I love as a concealed carry piece. I am just looking for a full sized pistol.
I have sort of narrowed the field to a Berreta 92 FS and a Glock 17 (I am open to other suggestions, but these seem to be at the top of the list). Both have their pluses and minuses. I like the Berreta as I can buy it new in Massachusetts and there are plenty of pre-ban mags arround. It does have an external safety/decocker, but is DA/SA which I am not used to firing. The Glock on the other hand, is what I believe is called, srtiker fired (which is simillar to my Walther). There are also lots of pre-ban mag available and its safety system is very simillar to my Walther. On the downside I can not buy this new in Massachusetts.
What thoughts, comments, suggestions do owners of these two pistols have? Can anyone suggest any other simillar pistols? I plan to carry my Walther as my concealed carry weapon, and would likely only carry a new pistol once in a while, but use it at the range.
Thanks.
