I have owned both. Both are awesome, iconic 9mm pistols. You can't go wrong either way.
The Beretta isn't THAT big and heavy, give me a break. It's lighter than the almighty 1911 that it replaced. Plus it isn't picky with ammo. It will chamber an empty case with no issue.
If you think the trigger pull is soooo bad, then God forbid you every have to fire a double action revolver. Beretta 92s are about as smooth as you'll get with a service pistol.
15-18rd flush fit mags galore. I've had mine for 11 years, not one stoppage, bobble, FTF, FTE, stovepipe, etc. PERFECT. Oh and no my locking block hasn't shattered or the slide flown apart. Digests anything, and with the 5" barrel coupled with either 9BPLE or 127gr +P+ Winchesters, it nears .357SIG performance from a 4"> barrel.
The original P226s rusted out on the SEALS so they had to coat everything inside with phosphate (if I'm not mistaken...). They fixed the slide thing on the Beretta about 20 years ago, so enough of the "you'll get hit in the face with a slide" nonsense.
92FS with 115gr Federal 9BP std pressure load is about the most accurate service pistol I've ever fired. 10 and X all day long. Same with the P226.
The newer P226s don't look right with a rail, though I do like the Navy version with the symbol on the slide.
Can't go wrong with either one. Plus it isn't plastic.
