[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 960745, member: 229"] Honestly, I don't have a Beretta to compare to (and its been a loooooong time since I've shot one), but they're not that bad. The Glock 19's squared grip makes it seem bulkier to me but I think the 228's is actually right at the same or just a hair thicker, and the slide-stop and decocker stick out a bit farther making for the over-all width on the Sig to be wider (on paper). But the feel is soooooo much better than the G19 to me (and I carried a G19 for a long time - I've got absolutely no issues with it). You get only 13rds instead of 15, but that also makes it lighter and while I'm not always a "lighter is better" kind of guy, at a certain point, if you're doing any major amount of moving around in the heat, a G19 with 16rds in it is pretty damn heavy. I'm of course comparing mine with a rail on it and some extra material on the trigger guard (a tiny bit), so I would imagine that the non-railed 228s are even lighter (and they are German-made slides/frames). You'll have some Swiss import marks on these, so if that bothers you, I'd look at a different route, but everything I've heard about these older all-German made Sigs is absolutely true now that I own one. I may have just talked myself into getting another for the wife... [/QUOTE]
