I think the vast majority of industry experts praise the CZ pistols as vastly superior to the Beretta 92. The CZ is lighter, slimmer, more ergonomic, more durable, more reliable, has a larger capacity magazine, points better, has the better grip, the safety/decocker or safety is in the right position, the list literally goes on and on and on. The Beretta was good for its day but there's a reason the military is ditching it. The CZ-75 is a tremendously better combat handgun.
The Berettas are just enormous for a 9mm pistol, bulky, heavy, and unwieldy. The grips fits few hands properly. Safety decocker is in the WRONG position (i.e. slide mounted) and can easily be accidentally hit during a tactical reload. The triggers are worse, bore axis is higher, magazine capacity is lower. Durability and reliability are lower and there are key parts such as the locking block that are known to shatter and lock up the guns. The military had to get rid of them, frankly they are just awful general issue combat sidearms. No comparison, the CZ-75 blows the Beretta 92 away in all regards.
Do you know who Jeff Cooper is? If not, you might want to do some research on him. He is only the greatest handgun instructor and combat shooter in human history. He chose the CZ-75 as his favorite 9mm. That speaks volumes. The Beretta? I can't think of anyone with half the reputation that would choose that firearm. There is a reason most in the military absolutely despise it.
Just my $0.02. The Beretta is trash.
