I've had this pistol in for about a month and finally put the review up since it's now available to everyone...

Pros:
-0 malfunctions with any ammo to date
-interchangeable frames; the "gun" is the chasis
-good accuracy for a "combat" type pistol
-factory steel sights
-nitrided slide/barrel
-the serrations are very functional albeit the looks of them are in the eye of the beholder
-the grip texture is rough enough to not aggravate you if carrying IWB but not slippery either
-I'd imagine in the future you'd be able to purchase different caliber & size slides/frames and not have to go to the FFL to do so
-Beretta is already offering plenty of accessories for the pistol (threaded barrels, sights, holsters, mags, etc...
-trigger has a very crisp break

Cons:
-at this point it's new so track record is still a question mark
-I'd much prefer the trigger reset to be stronger.
-the striker safety protruding through the slide may be an issue for milling

So how does it work for a Sig P320 replacement? Just going off of one of your Pros. Although that got the green more correct that Sig did for OD green. Sig ODG is like baby shit green on the grips for the P320. And better stock sights than a Glock. Yet with my P320 I don't have to pull the trigger or drop the striker to tear it down.

Will Glock mags fit through the chassis?

Looks to be a decent pistol, aside from the periscope on the slide popping up on trigger pull.

It's tiny and not something you will see with a standard sight picture.

Maybe, but this looks a bit large to me.



Edit: Guess I'm not sure if it pops up and stays up till you start to release the trigger, or if it just pops up, and drops instantly.

Cost of replacement magazines?

It works much the same way as it does on the 92FS.  Not something anyone ever worries about.

Held one this weekend and it felt nice in the hand, trigger was pretty good too. As for looks, it appears my S&W SD9VE got together with something.

1/2x28 threads on the threaded barrels?

I hope they offer threaded barrel guns.

@Mrgunsngear

Can the striker safety protrusion be for safely holstering?

The first thing I thought when I saw it is maybe you could put your thumb over it when holstering and stop if you feel it start pushing up to prevent Glock leg.

Not an issue for me but you hear people concerned about holstering striker fired guns.

I held one a couple weeks ago and felt really good in the hand but it did seem pretty wide.

I suppose it's possible but I really don't know what their thinking was.  Maybe just a holdover from the 92 series?

I had a Beretta 92fs years ago. Bulky as funk 15 rnd 9mm.

This looks very concealable. If I were in the position to put money into a handgun. I would get this one. I carry a Glock and money is tight right now so, it will have to wait.
