I have been doing alot of shopping to find out which gun would be the better buy. A beretta 96fs .40cal or a Sig pro 2340?
I understand the beretta frame,barrel and slide has not been upgraded from the 9mm to the 40cal causing problems with jamming. I have spoke with police officers who have carried this gun and didnt like its reliability in the 40 cal round !
It seems the ramp to the chamber has been unchanged thus, making the larger 40cal round jam up in the 9mm frame. Also the barrel has not been upgraded but instead simply bored over to fit the larger 40.
I have heard nothing but great things about the Sig's and i like the feel and quality of the gun. I dont like the price but im willing to pay for a gun that will be my full time carry piece. I do however favor the beretta's large frame and availibility in stainless. At this point if i was to buy the beretta it would be in 9mm only. i have tested the .40 cal (which i favor over the smaller 9mm) and sure enough both of the guns i tested jammed frequently.(with several diffrent makes of ammo) Of these 2 firearms which would you prefer? If paying extra for the Sig means i can get the .40 cal round in a high quality weapon i am willing to do so. although i favor the beretta for its price and finish.
Any info is greatly respected and appriciated.
