I have a Beretta 96D, but I don't like the long trigger pull of DAOs (pistol shoots just fine though). Plus, I just like .45 ACP. Isn’t the specific gun they are talking about the Kimber Warrior?

I believe in the double tap, but would rather have the second shot to be "insurance" instead of necessary.

I wish I hadn't sold it. Where shooting the 1911 is kinda like driving a muscle car, the Beretta feels more like a big luxury cruiser. Heh, same here, about the trading, but I liked my 96 Brigadier.

It feels like a proper handful (I have never held a 1911 that felt right in my hand), and I'm confident in the 147-grain Hydra Shoks. I love my 92FS.

I bought a Beretta 96 and a 92 Elite, and couldn't stand either one of them. I traded them for 1911s.
