About a year ago, I picked up one of the police trade in 92's in a trade. I have owned a couple of Beretta pistols in the past, was never a real big fan, This was my first 92, and Ive really come to like them. Soft, accurate shooters, even with the smaller "GI 1911" type sights. Great DA trigger. The mag release isnt an issue at all, and mags are readily available. Many of the new mags still have the cutout for the 92's.
I ended up getting a FS and M9 not long after.
In the same trade as the 92, I picked up an S&W 4506 in great shape. I never was a S&W auto fan either, and while it was a good gun, and no problems (other than mag prices), and shot well, Im still not an S&W auto fan.
I got rid of it for another Glock that came along a short while later.
Between the two above, Id go with the 92.
Ive also owned a number of Star handguns in the past. They were all good guns, and Im sure the ones listed above would be good shooters, but a lack of parts and mags would put them at the bottom of the list for me.
