    As mentioned, the Beretta 92 is a big gun. I didn't like it simply because it did not fit my hand, especially with the first DA shot. I had a very early M59 S&W and found it was a good 9mm with...

    I would sell or trade them for 1000 proper 358 cast bullets on the for sale forum here. If you don't want to get a 38 S&W then there are plenty of 38 S&W shooters here that might want them.
