I've owned a 92F but never shot a Glock. Are the Berettas superior to the glocks? I am not familar with the modifications you spoke of, so forgive my ignorance. Are the modifications you had done necessary to be competitive with that pistol??

>>LLT customized Beretta Elite 2s blow gl*cks <<
Well, that's all well and good, but how much does a "heavily modified Beretta 92G Elite II" actually cost? I shoot my Glock 35 (with about $100 in "goodies" attached) with a measure of success in IPSC Standard in Canada and USPSA Limited 10 in the US...I would also shoot it in Production, but it's illegal under IPSC rules in Canada. I'm sure that I could "heavily modify" a humble CZ75 to "blow gl*cks" as well....but I'd sooner spend my money on practice and match ammo.
I'm not a slave to Glockism (I also shoot my "heavily modified" Norinco 1911A1 for a change from time to time), but the G34/G35 is certainly ready to go for folks who can't afford to lavish shovel-fulls of money on their guns.
Oh...I'm buying an EII, btw....gotta luv the look of that bella pistola.

Here are the mods I did on my Beretta:
1. Novak night sights. I believe they are IPSC legal? Novaks come stock on the gun, but I wanted a Trijicon front and shift the POI because I couldn't use the stock sight picture past 11 yards with accuracy.
2. Stainless Steel guiderod. More aesthetic than anything else, rounds off the two-tone look. It is also heavier, supposed to help with muzzle flip/jump.
3. LTT trigger job. I will admit that Glocks have it for stock trigger, because of the initial pull weight (5.5 methinks, contrasted to the Beretta's deuce-and-a-half ton pull) and the ultra-short trigger reset.
LTT's trigger job lightens and smoothens the trigger pull and he installs a trigger with a bump in the back for less overtravel and a shorter reset. While this will not be IPSC legal (custom part), it is USPSA legal. LTT also has another trigger job that just smoothens out the trigger pull. Same thing minus the custom trigger. The Elite II is good to go off the shelf, but I think the 92FS is more of a duty gun with that heavy-@$$ pull.

The E2 is a good platform and mags are plentiful for the gun..I tried for a short while and just couldn;t get to the point I could shoot it well..
I ended up with a steyr m9..it has a little shorter trigger reset and lower bore axis than the glock, I switched the sights to heinies..and I shoot it a little better...my last two classifiers have been a 70 and 86 percent vs the 44 and 55 percent..
but otherwise just shooting the e2..I liked it a lot...hey has anyone seen a custom carry 2..its the single stack stainless 9mm beretta??
