Beretta vs Sig

I don't own either, but I've put alot of round through both.
Personally, I like Sig better. The weight, balance and size of the weapon just feels better in my hand. I've found that I can keep a better and more consistant sight pic with the sig.
Personally, I'd trade the Baretta for a Sig any day. I've already decided my fist gun is going to be a Sig...

Coming from a non-gun nut (but one that shoots occassionally)...
When I first shot the Sig, I didn't like the trigger pull for my hands. It was too long. Then I got the feel for it, and it's very nice. I've put several hundred rounds through one during deployment quals or when we needed to blast through our fiscal year ammo. Nice gun.
I had the chance to shoot a Barretta once or twice, and after having shot the Sig, I did not like it. Seemed more sloppy and like Bubba is saying, harder to maintain a sight pic, for me anyway.

For one reason or another the USMC wants to use the Beretta for their service sidearm. I however, do not. I much prefer the Sig; i agree that it has a much nicer feel, and overall better sight picture. I think if you have smaller hands, the Beretta may be for you. That was my dad's one complaint about the Sig, and I think that may be why we use it against our will... user friendly?
The Beretta 92FS and the SIG P226 are about the same size. The grip is no different... very wide. Some feel it differently, but I think that has to do with the design of it. The SIG is a finer weapon in my opinion. It beats the Beretta hands down. I do not like the 92FS. That being said, the 92FS didn't make it all the way to the finals for the XM9 competition for nothing, it is a tough firearm. The only reason it won over the P226 is price, Beretta low-balled it and won. The SIG is stronger, as evidenced by the failures the SEALs experienced in using +P+ ammunition... a problem that has been remedied.
My first pistol was a toss-up between a Beretta 92FS and a SIG P226. The SIG won by a long shot.

I'm also looking at buying a P226 and am grateful for all the insight everyone has provided in this thread. Pretty much seals the deal for me. I shot one many years ago in college and really liked it, unfortunately haven't since. I'm looking to upgrade from my S&W 45 that I have now.
