Mr. hackathon … I am 58 and I started shooting about two years ago. The 1st gun I purchased was a Baretta 92SF. For someone that likes tinkering, I found it an easy gun to work on. Changed out a few parts on my own but finally sent the Pistol to Wilson Combat to get a “Trigger Job”. After all the work, my shooting was still inconsistent. An RSO at my range kind of took to me. Every times he see’s me he has a new pistol for me to try. He handed me a 1911 bored out for 9mm. I was blown away .. 3 bullets loaded in. The 1st shot was stray the second two where about a 1/2 inch from each other and very close to being bullseyes. I was shocked at how accurate I could shoot someone else’s pistol. A year and a half with the Beretta and I couldn’t get my shots grouped that good. I put in for a new permit and while I waited, I did a lot of research on various pistols. I settled on a CZ shadow 2. Right now I have approximately 300 rounds cycle through her and find my shooting to be day and night. (So much more accurate with the CZ). Just curious .. Do you feel certain people just don’t take to certain pistols? Originally so many raved about the 92FS. I see plenty of these guys using the pistol for competition, yet I can’t seem to fire it have as good as the new CZ…. Thoughts? Thanks, Chuck McCrory
Though I am not Mr. Hackathorn I know from my own experience that not every gun works for every person. The Beretta has a large grip and long trigger reach and pull. Even with a trigger job it could be too much for you. Have you changed the grips on your Beretta? That might make the difference.

Look forward to when I get a WC M-9
Can I use a Beretta 92x performance in an IDPA competition? It weighs 46 ounces stock.
Will the decocker conversion make it SSP legal?
Wow, Did Ken Hackathorn just point the muzzle at his face? 2:28
Obviously angled to the side so no.
What is IDPA?
international defensive pistol association
@Rafael Acosta dont be a dick
And then if I could just make the Beretta run like Ernest Langdon . . .
