Still–those looking to demonize the pistol blame the pistol for the performance of shitty ammo. The faster, more conically shaped 9mm ball can punch through a bad guy, and he can continue to fight–at least for a time. They were not as prone to over-penetrate. 45 ACP ball ammo meant the rounds dumped more energy in their targets. I don’t know a single rational human being who would choose to field 9mm ball ammo. The new M9A3 mags may be the most exhaustively engineered mags on the market.ģ. Beretta has since made numerous changes to the magazines to prevent these problems. This is a criticism that should be aimed at the magazine manufacturer, and not at the M9 itself, but this is the real world. Followers would get jammed, and rounds would rattle around in the mags. M9 magazines, especially those made by one subcontractor, didn’t handle sand well.
The most persistent complaint has to do with the magazines. The M9 has served well, though not without its issues. Regardless of those allegations, the Army (and a lot of others, too) fielded a really fine pistol. The gun didn’t even come close to meeting the base line performance expectations.īeretta mags have been made by several manufacturers, and Beretta.Ģ. Fans of the P226 contend that Beretta had unfair access to SIG’s bid, and was able to revise their bid downward.įans of the 1911 were just plain bitter. The rumor is that the 92 and the SIG P226 were neck and neck going into the end, and it came down to bidding. I was too busy playing with Legos at the time. I’m not qualified to speak on that matter. There have long been bid-rigging allegations against Beretta. The Army held trials for the 1911’s replacement, and they were contentious. And he divorces her and marries an 18 year old Italian.
He’s been through hell and holds his head high, and his dutiful wife is right there by his side. Your best friend of 70 some-odd-years is a fine upstanding gentleman. We’re all aware that the Beretta replaced the 1911. So why do all the haters hate on the Beretta?ġ. But sometimes I feel like I’m all alone in my love of the old Italian pistol. I do know the gun inside and out, and I respect it. I’ve never emptied my last AR mag and turned to the M9 to continue the fight. My love of the 92 is both practical and cinematic.
