Can I ask why? It's at the request of a co-worker...

If nobody comes up with any stock ones, I'll try to shoot and post some tonight when I get home from my "date." (Wife & I are going out sans young'ns to celebrate our 15th anniversary.

Can't do it today, but if this thread is still pic-less tomorrow, I'll try and take some shots of the two.
Happy 15th, Hardshell!

I would assume the Glock would be a bit smaller, especially in width.

Stock M9 (actually a DOD-issued General Officer's M9) and a stock OD frame G17 (I used the OD for contrast –– I would have used one of my NP3 M92s for even better contrast, but all three of them have aftermarket light rails that might have skewed any dimensional comparison):

Great pics, HardShell! It's surprising how close in size they appear to be considering how much bigger the 92 feels to me.

ETA This comparision made me wonder about the weight of each handgun. Did a bit of research and found the following: Glock 17 (Unloaded) –– 22.04 oz Beretta M9 ( (Unloaded) –– 34.4 oz |

Quoted: ... It's surprising how close in size they appear to be considering how much bigger the 92 feels to me... Exactly my reaction as I was taking the pics. I would have sworn the 92 would be appreciably bigger in almost all dimensions. These are two of my favorite platforms and I have several of each... I guess I've just never held them side-by-side and looked at them like this before.  |

My thoughts too. Many years ago I was going to buy a Beretta 92, but after actually handling it, decided I would never be able to get a good grip on it and so I passed on buying it. Fast forward about 20 years...... I own a Glock 17 that I am able to get a good grip. I would never have thought they were that close in size. Thanks for the pics. An eye opener for sure.
