As soon as I turned 21, I bought a Beretta 92. Years of seeing them in movies, I finally had one. 3 years later, I foolishly sold it. I am at the point where nostalgia, and the fact that I shot it very well, and that I don't only need one pistol for CCW, means I want another one.
I prefer the .40S&W round to 9MM, but am confident in either. I am currently set up to reload .40, but have nothing for 9MM. So, I am looking at either a 92FS, or a 96A1. I have no preference on the rail, but, I understand the A1 fixed a lot of the issues with the .40 round on this gun. Locally, the A1 is about $60 more, but I get a third magazine, and don't need to buy dies, bullets, and (probably) a new powder. But, the rail makes holster selection a little more difficult.
If you limit possibilities to these 2 options, which would you choose, and why?
