I got the idea from the Glock Haters thread, when a few people mentioned they hate the Beretta 92 series.
I hear a lot of this at work- I'm Active Duty Air Force.
Someone is always talking about "I love my 1911/Glock/XD/Sig/etc... Way better than that piece of shit M9."
I am primarily a Sig guy, but I really love the 92 series. They're just as reliable as a Glock or one of my Sigs, in my experience. They're good looking, for one- few know how to make a better looking firearm than the Italians. They're quite comfortable, point naturally, and they're plenty accurate. I've run mine in IPSC in West Texas dust storms, magazines dropped in the dust and slammed home in the gun, shooting fast- never jammed.
I've actually heard it said that they're the most attacked service pistol in history, and therefore some of the most tested guns around. Hell, I qualified Expert Marksman with guns that are stored in a 50cal ammo can and cleaned by retards who literally don't know which end of the cleaning rod to use.
I understand some old folks are still bitter the military switched from the 1911, but there can't be many people left in the military that were around when the 1911 was the service pistol, so I can't be hearing them complaining.
So why the Beretta hate?
