We carry the beretta at my current dept. but I wished we could carry the Sig.

There are definitely better weapons out there. But i honestly think the Berette 92fs is a good all around weapon. Quality is good and it's reasonably priced. It offers decent firepower and is undeniably reliable. It does have it's bad points (as with just about anything). 1. I really wish Beretta would offer this frame weapon in a .45 cal. 2. While not necessarily a huge deal, why has Beretta not kept up with the current market and started incorporating polymers into the designs of it's large frame weapons. 3. some of the exterior components ie...trigger, safety/ decocking lever and hammer, and mags are prone to rusting (which can be a problem for a duty weapon that sit's in a holster for extended periods of time) in humid envornments. Let's face it alot of duty weapons don't get removed from the holster/mag pouches ect...and cleaned near as often as they should. If Beretta would remedy some of these issues I'm sure it would make the weapon much more desirable.

I love my M9. It has never jammed or misfed in thousands of rounds and I can hit what im aiming at. Some don't, but I like a little hevier pistol. I would also like the Baretta 96 model for a bit more cal. But there is an ammo for the purpose, 9mm or not. All around good pistol as far as I can tell.

This one looks just like My Beretta 92D I have. I pay $325 for. Heavy Babie but I
carry her all the time.

As a MP SGT, this is our main weapon while working the road. It is reliable. It is very easy to maintain as well as switch from left hand to right hand magazine release. This is a very good weapon to start with if you are training someone on gun firing.

It is good to go when needed.

i like this hang gun alot better than a 45 because long furgher distice and not much of a kick back when it is fired

Carried an M9 in my military career. It's long, which makes it tougher to control, the cartridge is undersized at 9mm, it has an external manual safety, and the trigger pull is far too much. Given the choice, get a Sig.

I don't care for it, suffice it to say.

I like the M9 over the M15 (.38 S&W), but would rather have a more powerful weapon. But it gets the job done and is easy to shot.

it's an easy to shoot with a high capsity mag, and acceracy good enough for anyone. It could easily be a officers best friend.

The Berretta serves its purpose, very easy to use from beginner up to the experienced shooter. I have used the Baretta for 10 years in the Marines, the one problem I was having and maybe I just have bad luck was in Iraq the springs would loose tension fast, I know it happens but this seem more than usual, so Ihad to keep restretching the spring to keep tension on the rounds.

Reliability, performance, and easy to handle...

I have owned one of these for over 15 years and love it

Pretty decent firearm. Shoots smooth and has a good size mag. The only downfall is that when a round is chambered, the trigger can be sensitive. At least on mine.

We have to carry these at our dept, and I own one as well and use it at my parttime gig, just so I don't have to change duty gear around when I go from job to job. Plus it helps cause I can do alot of off duty tactical shooting practice. I do prefer to carry my Kimber though, can't beat that .45 cal.

I am in love with the way my hand fits this pistol. It could be a little more accurate.

it could be just me, but it seems like one of the longest trigger pulls i've ever shot with, but before i had the department issue beretta i had frequently used a makorov 9mm and a glock, both also lighter than this gun. i do shoot very accurate with this though, so i can't complain too much

I love my Beretta, I never have had any problems with it.

Ive fired all kinds of handguns and I have to say that allthough this weapon is a major P.O.S when its dirty it fires more accurately then most of the more expensive firearms that ive used. But this is the weapon I use on duty. I like it, and im deadly with it on my hip.

I have put tens of thousands of rounds through these pistols, and in 13 years of shooting them in competition i have only had one (1) misfeed, and that was my fault, I limp wristed it for one shot during a competiton and i had a stovepipe. other than that, NEVER A SINGLE PROBLEM and for those of you who said it could be more accurate, you just need more practice. these are very accurate, and they always put the round where I tell it to. Practice, Practice, Practice!

This Pistol is not only reliable it also feels good in the hand and the recoil is a non-factor.
Really enjoy shooting this handgun and I have "never" had a misfire or malfunction.

the m9 is a very dependble handgun but for the price i preffer a glock

Decent handgun- used 92fs as duty weapon for 2 years with few problems. The biggest problem is the de cocking lever (safety) that can easily get in the way or be activated- and you are pulling the trigger and nothing is happening.....not a good feeling.

Use for duty weapon with no discrepancies. Fits my hand perfectly

most ageinces use this firearm becuase alot of agencies use it so if ur on a battlefeild and u run out of ammo u can just get some from your partner but 9mm just dosent sseem to have the stoping power miltary or police firearms should due to over penetration becuase an officer shot a dog square in the chest with a 9mm one time and the dog kept on coming ismply becuase of over penetration of the bullet moving around 1200 fps and dosent have the dmging power of the 45.cal handguns moving at around 800 fps leaving more time for damaging and im sure some people might agree with me if your an officer an you have to put someone down and you shoot somoen with a 9mm and they still keep coming. personly i would rather carry a gun with a round that can knock a man over

I've been using an M9 for many years now, and it is an easy gun to qualify with and maintain. The DA trigger creep seems to take forever, and it takes a bit of time to learn a technique for clicking off "safe" without moving your shooting hand. The military adopted this pistol, in my view, as a compromise between stopping power and high mag capacity ("yeah, the .45 is a better one-shot put-down round, but you get twice as many 9mm rounds in a mag!"), plus the 9mm is what NATO uses, so that must mean we need to use it too (don't recall ever transferring any ammo to a NATO ally, but that's just me). It was brought out when 9mm was a really popular round, in the mid 80s. And while people who swore on the .45 said it wouldn't last very long, here we are, in 2008, still carrying the M9. I think its due to be replaced in the next 5-10 years. The special ops community has already changed back to the .45, in numerous configurations (H&K USP, SIG, souped-up Springfields, etc.). As far as a review, I'd say that while the ease of maintenance, reliability, high capacity, low-recoil, and easy qualification are good things, the drawbacks of the 9mm round, long DA trigger pull, safety mounted on the slide vice the frame all detract from the M9's desirability as a service weapon. Many would argue that 15 rounds is great when you need them, but I'd rather have 7-10 rounds of something that will put some perp on his butt with one shot. The miilitary intended the pistol as the standard weapon for use by senior NCO's and officers, basically as a self-defense, close-quarters battle weapon. We always said that if you had to pull out your M9, you were already screwed, the bad guys were inside the wire. Recently, the Marine Corps decided to issue all SNCO's and officers M4 carbines, in addition to the M9's. Read into that what you will. When I was in Afghanistan, flying in helicopters, all the aircrew carried an M16, a few carried an M4, a couple carried a shotgun, and I carried an M240G 7.62mm machine-gun to supplement the M9. We figured if we went down and had to E&E (escape & evade), we weren't going to stake our lives on a 9mm pistol. That's just a personal opinion, but actions speak louder than words. Not that there's anything wrong with with the 9mm in general...it, like every other round, has its uses. I just believe that when someone (police officer, soldier, etc.) has to rely on a piece of survival gear, it should unequivically work as intended the first time he or she uses it.

I have fired many different pistols over the years and I have owned many different pistols. As far as reliability I would take the M9 over aything I have fired. I know it is not the most accurate but I never worry about it not functioning. The sights could use a little sprucing up but when you look at where most shootouts occur, sight picture and sight alignment kind of fall to the wayside.

I have been carrying the Beretta for the better part of my military carrer. A definite big step up from the .38 I was first issued. Very realiable and comfortable fit but I would rather have my Colt 1911 in my hand when I am in a forward area and I need stopping power.

I have to say, the only thing I EVER liked about this weapon was its sights. The Beretta's blade sights are some of the nicest stock sights I have ever used. However, unless I was target or competition shooting I would never stake anything on this weapon. Plus, it doesn't fit my hands like a 1911 does.

I'm a Contract security guard for the military we have to carry these daily. This gun is nothing but scrap metal to me. I hate the trigger pull and the safety/decocking lever which hits my thumb when I shoot. I carry a Glock 22 when I work patrol and I love it. I am considering switching to a Glock 21SF same size as the 22 or the 19 but shoots .45 ..

I carry this weapon daily as a SF patrolman in the Air Force. This gun is junk, jams all the time and the range... I hope if I ever have to engage, I hope it works, if not it'll turn into athrowing devise.

I used the 92F in the Marine Corps and I actually liked the weapon. I thought it was a very good weapon. I actually had desert sand get into the weapon and after a good cleaning it worked normally and did not jam like I thought it would. I also found it very easy to use and clean.

I Hated this pistol, heavy, poor accuracy. But for years of use the weapon has stayed in the fight for years. All my years with the Marine corps I always have had this as my Side arm.

used this in the af.....heavy, inaccurate buts its simple wouldnt still be the standard if it wasnt good though

My Beretta and I have a special relationship, I suppose. This is a highly reliable weapon which puts the rounds where they are supposed to go. I remind those among us who feel that the 9mm parabellum round is ineffective that any round well placed is more effective than any round that goes astray (this is not even touching on the unintended consequences of stray rounds.) I suppose I have big hands, because my Beretta just feels natural there. I love the weight, the capacity, even that heavy double-action trigger pull. The only thing I could wish for is a single motion decock and unsave for tactical movement. That being said, this is really no weapon for concealed carry. This is a big hunk of metal.

I would not own one if it was given to me with a $750.00 check. They did not fix the defect they just compensated for it. Over time the slide has been known to come off and strike the wielder in the face. Can you imagine a slide hitting you in the face at the speed of a bullet? So what they did is they added a piece to the lower part which causes the slide to be deflected in an upward direction when it flies off the back, instead of fixing it so it doesn't fly off at all.

junk........ junk..... this gun sucks.... we have to get ride of it...... it doesnt stop rusting even the brand new ones..... i think they make them with rust...... seriously though they are junk.... jams at the range and if it goes wrong their were u have the chance before you fire it to clean it and lub it up and it still fails.... just imagine what it will do when u need it..... ill take a glock or a sig but we need to ditch this gun...... its as bad as when s&w came out with their semi auto.....

This is one of the worst ideas the military came up with, the only good thing I can say about it is that it is accurate, but almost all 9mm are accurate, but it jams all the time on the range wish they would go back to the old 1911.

This one is the military version of the 92FS. I used this in the Marines. Durable weapon very accurate but too heavy and no real stopping power since its only a 9mm.

Durable, easy weapon to use.

This is the standard issue for all Marine MP's very light, great hand grips, duel safety, always fires on target . . . stove top or jam once in a blue moon, other than that I would recommend this for someone who is learning to shoot pistol

The M9's a very good handgun and is pretty much used military wide. The main problem I have with it is it's lack of stopping power, especialy when overseas where only ball ammo is allowed. Stopping power is traded for penetration and more rounds per clip...I guess the military figures the more rounds you send downrange the more likely you are to hit something.

I feel a .40 is a better choice, and stainless a plus. That said, I have had a 92F for decades now. I prefer a double action only, but when I carried this weapon exclusively, I had no trouble using the hammer drop and safety. I was used to the double/single action and its accuracy in follow up shots. The longer barrel made for much better accuracy for an on duty weapon. Capacity with its double stack mags was unbeatable. I would love to carry this weapon in 40 cal on duty. I still prefer the feel of its grip to any other I have owned.

I would prefer a Glock 40 but HEY this is what the Army issues most MP's

not my prefered weapon of choice but it can get the job done like the rest!

makes a good hammer, sorry to say I had to pack one in combat

Qualified expert 39 out of 40 (& I Suspect they may have miscounted by one LOL) with the Army M9... Gotta love it!

This pistol is decent and easy to shoot. I would like something with a little more bang but I can shoot what I am aiming at.

I really like this weapon. A lot of people say that they hate it, but, it was developed for the military. If, in the military mind you, you have to draw your side arm, someone screwed up. This is, of course outside the MP patrol role.

I use the M9 in the Nat'l Guard. It's definately NOT my first nor my LAST choice either. The military needs to look at replacing this weapon for something better. The 9mm is ineffective with ball ammo as a man-stopper much like the old .38 revolvers used in the Moro uprisings in the Phillipeans. The magazine capacity is a little lacking compared to some newer weapons in this caliber like Glock 17, Springfield XD-9 or S&W M&P pistols. This is NOT the worst pistol out there but certainly NOT the best either.

I absolutely despise this piece. Requires copius maintainance (as in mid-mission) because sand or dirt makes it useless. I love how the Beretta people drop the line about it "meeting the demanding requirments of the USMC." I have never heard of any Marine (or any American servicemember for that matter) getting a documented combat kill with this weapon.

I depended on this weapon when I was in the big sand box and it never jammed on me, so I have to give it some credit. But unless you clean it ALOT you will have alot of problems out of it.

I like to consider myself a surgeon with this weapon, maybe because i cut my teeth on this handgun in the Army or maybe because its just an easy weapon to use. Flick of the thumb and youre ready to fire. Its 9mm caliber makes for light recoil for better follow up shots and with the addition of Crimson Trace grips you can get even faster target aquisition. The double action makes for a great weapon for the not so savvy gun person. However they could have taken some slack out of the trigger(Like the SIG 226/229...Just throwing that out there). Its a full size handgun so its not too good for concealement but paired with a Galco small of the back holster it will do. Ranks high marks for magazine capacity. I prefer the 3 dot sights over the "pumpkin on a fence post" type but they still function. Because it is a weapon used by the military it will be around for a while.

I call it Ole Reliable! Has gone *Bang* every time...which I hear, is important!

extremely accurate with a smooth trigger pull.

the beretta m9a1 is a great weapon and at a very nice price range a good friend to have at your side.

preffer the .40 cal, but this is probably one of the easiest most reliable handguns out there

This weapon is my standard issue pistol for the US Marine Corps. I enjoy shooting it if there is nothing else around. It is heavy and has some accuracy issues, atleast with the one I had. My wife owns one and she likes shooting it. Its just not the gun for me. I would much rather have my glock.

I'am old school....lol

ALTHOUGH THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AWHILE THERE STILL AN OLDY BUT A GOODY

A good weapon for training, did not like it in combat. Rather of had the M1911A1. I suppose for Military Police use on the road or target shooting or home defense its okay. We've had some issues with slides cracking, and smaller parts breaking. Again, rather have a Sig or 1911.

I am forced to carry one at work, but it has been a good gun so far. I much rather have a glock or smith mp

Just like any weapon...it needs it's maintenance. The military gives it a bad rap because young kids who've never touched a weapon, let alone a handgun, are issued it and, generally, the weapons' already been used and abused by everyone and their grandmother. Yes, the GI issue magazines have weak springs but get additional mags and practice tap, rack, ready a lot. 9mm isn't the best round out there but if your department lets you shoot jacket hollow points it'll do it's job. The safety/decocker lever is a bit set back for my hands but with practice I can manipulate it easily. The loaded chamber indicator is nice to have; beats doing press checks and can be used by feel (tactile) when noise discipline is enforced. Break down is relatively simple-lock the slide back, rotate the take down pin 90 degrees, slide forward. Reverse to put back together. Double action/Single action trigger is what I grew up on so I have no problems with the trigger. ALWAYS use the decocker when lowering the external hammer so that the firing pin block is actuated. Grip size feels right for my hands. Accuracy is outstanding. I was able to qualify with a 99.6 day/night and hit head plates at 40 yards from double action trigger. Overall, not a bad weapon--not the best weapon but there are a lot worse out there.

I have carried one for 19 years. Have seen malfunctions and breakages over the years - most due to rubbish ammo or magazines - a few were locking block failures due to eleventy gazillion rounds fired with no overhaul. The beretta is a fine handgun and its main problem is military ammo - MILBALL sux in every way. Further the issue (non-beretta) mags are rubbish. For duty carry where a manual safety is required, it really is first class. That being said - off duty I carry a GLock 29 in 10mm.

I have fired so many weapons during my military and law enforcement careers. I believe the Beretta 92/96 series are some of the finest handguns available.

I carried the 1911 when the military made the switch to the M9. I wish they hadn't made the change. It's an okay gun from a proven maker.

I gotta give this weapon 3 stars because of the weight of it. Fully loaded its quite the load to bear, but the double action hammer is awesome. You can kick out a double tap and be fairly within the center mass zone without really doing much.

I give this weapon no stars. i have used this weapon in Iraq. My expirence with this weapon is that it jams a lot and has little to no effect on hostile personal. The weapon is not very intimaditing either.

I'm not a fan of 9mm. This is what we carry at our Dept. I would much rather carry something with some knock down power. I've carried this pistol for many years while in the army and I didn't like it then either. I wish the Army never got rid of the 1911 .45

Not a bad weapon, low recoil, safe, but not very powerful

i use this weapon every time that i draw my weapon whether it is when i go and work the road or when i go out to the field to do some training

I born in Italy and grew up with Berettas until now at 55. The only weapon that is closer is the Taurus from Brazil and Taurus use to make the frame for Berettas. I am a proud father of twin boys in the USMC (Pendleton and Le June) and both with 4 tours in Iraq and their side arm is a Beretta M9A1, I can assure you that if the Beretta M9A1 can survive my kids it deserves respect. As they grew up around weapon I pass some info as basics 101. First, I instructed my kids that the best way to use a weapon is to make it an extension of you your arm, not an object in your hand. Second, strips it apart and learn how it operates in details, then you learn shooting techniques. Well they follow the basics real well and made proud as planned. Again, if the Beretta M9A1 can survive my loyal Marines, it can survive almost anything.

This gun is great as long as you take care of it. I found that it needs to be kept wet at all times or the slide will jam open. I also find it is a bit large for my hands, but I have small hands so that's me not the gun. But this gun is accurate and reliable. It shoots every kind of ammo I have ever been able to find.

current duty weapon, rather have a Glock

I have been working with the Beretta for over 13 years and love it.

I LOVE MY BERETTA PISTOLS, VERY EASY TO TAKE CARE OF, AND I,VE NEVER HAD A JAMMING PROBLEM WITH MINE, ALWAYS GREAT TO GO

As a MP I carried the M9 and loved it. I then started working at the Federal Reserve where our department carried the sig 229, and I hated the damn thing. The M9 has a good feel not as good as my Ruger SR9, but at least it aint a brick like a glock or sig. For me it was one of the better pistols I’ve shot, and now once again the M9 is my duty weapon at the VA. It may not be my weapon of choice for personal carry but it would rank near the top.

I bought one of these when I first started in Law Enforcement and I love it. The day I took it out of the box, I put about four hundred rounds through it, and is never jammed or misfired. I would recommend the handgun to anyone looking for a great pistol.

I carried the 92F for years. Now I pak a 96G.

9mm is rather anemic. Prefer a .45 in a duty pistol. Guys back from southwest asia (Iran and Afghanistan tell me the M9 is not a fight stopper. They wish military would go back to the .45 round. I carry a Kimber SIS in .45 and it is a remarkably accurate and dependable weapon.

It's a good pistol, just need a bigger caliber. Carried one in the desert for a total of almost three years and never had a problem with it.

Military ones are over used and worn out. My new one 92FS is excellent with the rubber grip I added.

to big much prefer the glock 17

too big and bulky for smaller handed cops. I had a partner who owned one and he refered to it as a good boat anchor...

Reliable, accurate, pleasant to shoot but too bulky for the caliber. I carried one on duty for a while.....until a '911 hang up call' changed my mind for me (about the 9MM....not the weapon). Short version: 9MMs and pit bulls don't mix. THAT is the incident that prompted me switching to the 1911 in .45acp.

Frist things Frist, it's a piece of metal and i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here. But it sounds to me that many of you are talking about strait out of the box lock and load ready togo, that would be nice. Unfortunatly that is not the case with any weapon.The reasons are these, There's always room for improvement when it comes to personal prefference. Anything that has moving parts is prone to fail at some time its a matter of when and could it be forseen. mag spring tension for example, could be 1 weak spring out of a 1000 it happens. DO NOT stretch the spring you just made it weaker, replace the mag or the spring. For stove pipe, try different ammo not all are consistent, I would also ask a SMITH to look for any flaws on the mag feed,ramp and pipe. its not because its junk, there is something wrong and needs to be corrected. For recoil a tighter spring may be needed if you use a heavy round and p+. trigger pull might be adjusted ask your smith. This goes for any weapon, pieriodic magnafux will tell you if the weapon is being stressed and about to come apart. All of these things fall hand in hand and the Beretta has a strong foundation to start. Myself I like how the Beretta feels in my hand and its action is really smooth. I know all of this sounds exspensive but when your done you have something you know you can really count on. By the way are'nt you worth it.

its a hevy gun. i like Glock

5 stars to the 9m beretta, due to in my case its the only hand gun that fits inside my hand comfortably and yes its not a light gun but its not the heaviest either. the extra weight over the gloc means to me that it could endure more physical damage, as i always say a great gun is a working gun!

This is the handgun I was issued by the department I work for. So far it seem like a good hand gun I have not had any problems with it. it shoots well

Its a great paper weight or club which ever you prefer.

Worked at a gun store when the "Made in the USA" ones started coming in. What a difference. Don't waste your money on a "Made in the USA" one. Get a "Made In Italy" one. The quality is 100% better. Don't know why the "Made in the USA" ones were so crapy.

Easy to clean, easy to shoot. Fairly accurate and dependable. Comfort is OK, but it is designed for both hands without modification for military issue so the grip is not specific for left or right handed shooting.

its definitely not a GLOCK

Blah blah blah.....this gun is crap...blah blah blah......sig this glock that...blah blah blah...Ive heard it all before.
Lets cut through all the tough talk BS. This is a fine weapon, that has killed more Islamist terrorist than any other sidearm in the game. If its good enough to be used by Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coasties in ACTUAL COMBAT in BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS...then how bad could it be???
Ive used in the real world...its a fine weapon.

Right on DevilDog911. Decent all around gun, but there are much needed improvements. I'd prefer the SIg or Springfield XD in .45 ACP.

If the bad guys carried one of these we could get rid of are BP vests. This the worst fire arm I have ever carried. I have used them as a cop and in the millitary both times they jammed and the fire pins break.

Overall good weaponand accurate, a bit on the heavy side.

About identical to my 92FS and oh course is the weapon I carried since 1990. Accurate, hard trigger pull but decent, easy reload.

I'm a Combat Arms Training & Maintance troop in the USAF. These are horrible, we're constantly having to repair parts & now we're having to send over 50% of our M9 inventory to depot due to cracks of the frames/receiver & slide rails. The M9 needs to be replaced, they're to complicated for a combat pistol.

I carry this m9a1 (light rail) and qualified with it and have put a lot of range sessions in and it's a great weapon. One thing for you military guys. How old were those issued m9s? The gun has been in military service since 1985 or so. Old guns break, sorry. Handle a new one and run it through it's paces and you'll see a difference. The military isn't exactly known for replacing weapons at regular intervals and I've seen some military issued m9s... some were absolute trash. Few firearms have been put through the tests like the beretta has and it's still an excellent sidearm. The extra front and backstrap checkering, increased magwell bevel and sand resistant mags make the m9a1 an excellent weapon. I wouldn't carry much else, except maybe a MILITARY std. 1911 with the loose tolerances for reliability.

i am a federal officer now, and this is the junk they issued me, I HATE this weapon!! give me my glock back!!!!!

this is the only gun we can carry, here in Italy.
I love this gun...knowing there are better and better weapons out there!!!!

the beretta is an ok weapon, ive carried it for 3 year's through military and my job. not once has it failed to fire for me but i would rather carry a weapon with a little more stopping power. we carry ball point where i work so its not really an ideal thing. mabey if they gave us hydrashock lol.

The Beretta M9A1 is another weapon used for the Bureau of Prisons and in my opinion is alot better than the Ruger P94. The trigger pull is not as jerky and is more accurate to the target. Again it's another weapon adapted from the US Military. Nice weapon!

I used the Beretta M9A1 when I was in the Army as a military police officer. I have never had any problems with it what so ever. Very accurate, well balanced, an easy grip, and light weight. all around, easy to use.

The M9 Beretta has been my duty handgun for the past 13 years. It fits in my big and bulky hands very well. I am sure there are better handguns out there, but this one has served me very well over the years. My M9 has rolled around in the Egyptian sand, been through the cold winter nights of Korea, and had even survived an accidental dip into the ocean . For all of these reasons, I have also chosen the M9 as my home defense handgun.

decent handgun. pretty dead on with some training.i would prefer a sig though. it's just a little big and bulky!

Good craftmanship but can stand improvement!

Never had a failure with this weapon.... under any conditions...
This was the duty weapon I used. I like it so much I own a 92fs and it's dead on every time.

Fun weapon to shoot...if it works. Wouldn't depend on it to save my life.

About 330 rounds went down range is less than 4 minutes (about 22 fully loaded 15 round cap. mags) with no malfunction or stoppage. The only thing that ended the use of the gun, until is cooled down, was the swelling of the metal when it turned 3 shades of black from the heat. I have witnessed thousands of rounds being fired with one breakage.

very accurate and over-sized. anyone have a spare locking block?

I carry this as an Air Force cop and I always feel as though we need more calibur should anything ever go down and I need to pull my secondary. It's reliable though and accurate for me so it'll at least be there should I need something.

The Army gives these weapons to our weapons squad memebers (240b's) mainly because if anything went down too close for the 240s then they can use the m9. good weapon, light and compact!

I like m9s

I qualified for the first time in September 2010 with the Beretta. It never jammed and it was a great weapon for my first time firing. I am excited to re-qualify with this weapon in the summer!

I won a state wide steel challenge shoot with the weapon, as it was a natural to point and cycled quickly. Unfortunately my department did not allow 9 mm on duty, so I never got to carry the weapon on duty. If ound it was a good fit for my hand and was easy to handle for follow up shots.

Fairly user friendly. Still liked my P226 better. However someone decided that we should go back to the 92F. Have used it since 1988 and have no issues.

Thus weapon is a good weapon anyone can shoot this weapon it is a very basic weapon to break down and clean, however it just too bulky for me. since I am in the military we don't get to choose our duty weapon we just "drive on" overall 2 stars

been very reliable for me only downfall doesn't like low power ammo
