How do you tell the difference between a Browning Hi-Power and a Beretta M92F (a.k.a. M-9), visually?

I know the T-1000 Terminator in "Terminator II: Judgement Day" uses a Hi-Power, but it looks very similar to a M92F to my untrained eye.
 
Actually it was a Beretta. I believe he was LAPD, and that's their standard handgun (I believe they can also carry S&W autos).
 
Those two guns are not even remotely similar visually. If you have access to a computer, which you obviously do, go to the two company's websites and look at pics of both guns. And by the way the badguy terminator in T-2 uses a Beretta 92 most of the time, not a HiPower. He gets his first gun by killing a LAPD officer. The Beretta is standard issue for them.
 
Hey, I was right in the first place! It was a Beretta (the script said he had a Browning Hi-Power)!

Ah, well. The script for "The Terminator" specified a Remington 1100 Autoloader, but the movie gun was a Franchi SPAS-12.
 
the most obvious visual difference are the slides

the browning slide covers the barrel all the way to the muzzel

the beretta has the upper half of the slide cut away forward of the chamber and the barrel protrudes beyond the end of the slide

if you want to see a lot of berettas, watch a chow yun fat action flick

for a browning, see the "boys from brazil"
 
The T-1000 was supposed to be using a Beretta, but in the scene where he passes through the vertical bars I think it was indeed a Hi-Power that he was holding.
 
I checked the DVD, dsk is correct. The gun he takes from the LAPD officer and uses at the Mall is clearly a Beretta. When he is walking through the bars at the State Hospital, he is carrying a Hi Power, which he discards when he fires it dry.
 
The gun he takes...is clearly a Beretta...at the State Hospital, he is carrying a Hi Power

I thought the T-1000's mimetic polyalloy structure couldn't simulate complex mechanisms like guns? ;) (Yes, I do watch 'way too many movies... )
 
Perhaps the T-1000 acquired the HP from that security guard he wasted awhile before he walked through the bars? Until now, I never noticed he had the HP in that scene...cool.

This is correct. He can only form bladed weapons, but he has the ability to carry weapons inside himself. A pair of scenes showing him dropping the guard's Hi-Power into his chest and then retrieving it were cut from the film.
