I posed the same question here about 9 months ago and went with the Italian made 92FS. They were on sale at PSA for $450 OTD. I also considered the Police turn in used 92's for $299 off the web. It is a gamble on the police turn in 92's, some are like new and some are used and abused. My local gunsmith advised me for that price, get the new Italian Beretta. I'm glad I decided on the Beretta, and after many rounds it has performed flawlessly with not a single hiccup. The feel of racking the slide tells me it's as close to precision as you can get these days. I also bought the walnut grips from Beretta to 'purty it up' after billt posted some pics of his walnut gripped 92.
