    The only one I haven't held is the baby eagle. But yes I agree, because I've held a FNS and beretta I have those as my top 2. The baby eagle I hav heard nothn but good things, but I really want one of those Bcause not many people hav them. People I kno anyway. I'm leaning toward the FNS at this point. But the berettas are just sweet looking smooth guns.

    Are you buying for investments or for fun?
    Practicallity is great. Also looking towards the future is another, some purchases are fads.
    A really hot gun is a Keltec PMR 30. They are selling over 200 over cost.

    I've shot the fns-40, imho it has one of the nicest dao triggers available. You can't go wrong with he beretta though.

    I'm new here, but my brother has a Baby Eagle. I had a great time shooting it at the range over Easter weekend. Its on the heavier end of what I like and the grip was a little bigger than I typically like (I'm a chick with small hands), but I enjoyed shooting it enough to consider getting one at some point.

    My wife loves her Taurus PT92 Not that I am calling it a chick gun. I like it for what it is too, the design is solid, and it has been combat tested in many environments. The other tow are good pistols too, just not as much of an aftermarket support system for them.

    Well, I'll admit I'm a huge Beretta fanboy. I carry one everyday, it's my go to gun, and I've got THOUSANDS of rounds down them. I've use FN's and they make good guns, BUT one thing to consider is their lack of available aftermarket parts. I've tried to do some work on FN's for people and there really isn't anything commercially available other than what comes from FN factory. Hence, if you don't like the trigger, the tension, the hammer, etc,etc,etc...you're screwed. Good choice with the Beretta.

    Next handgun

    I have a Beretta 92 and it is a fine handgun, I highly recommend this weapon! you will never regret it! :rockwoot:
    Ditto on the Beretta. Just got my first one. It is an older 92FS Police Special. I like it more than I thought I would and I have only run a mag thru her. So now it's time to think about the next one! I'm thinkin cowboy.
