I have a full-size Beretta 92 FS, 1989 vintage and a Beretta Centurion 92 FS, 1996 vintage. “I” can’t tell any difference in recoil with 115gr 9mm FMJs or speed for follow-up shots. I’m also a pretty big guy and 9mm recoil has never been an issue with me.
Being a retired Army Reservist MP and a retired civilian LEO, I prefer the Beretta since I have a good amount of trigger time on them since back when I was first hired, that was the first semi-auto pistol my agency issued to us when we retired our revolvers in the early/mid 90s.
To be honest, you can’t go wrong with either Beretta pistol in 9mm. I have one Beretta 96 Elite II, in .40, but she’s not as fast as my 9mms.
I love Beretta pistols. The only down side to them is that they are extremely hard to conceal carry in the Summer months, due to their size... That’s the only negative I have on them.
