Beretta M9

What can I say about the ubiquitous iconic M9 or the Beretta 92? For some reason when I went to purchase a 9mm I had to have an actual M9. The same pistol our army solders are issued. Maybe because my brother is in the Army, or maybe from watching Lethal Weapon movies, I don’t know, but I had to have an M9.

The M9 is a very solid pistol, hold 15 in the magazine and 1 in the pipe, for a total holding capacity of 16 rounds. Made of solid steel, and is a bit heavy. However there is virtually no kick to it either. Very easy to disassemble and clean. Beyond that it doesn’t really need cleaning that often, because of the solid construction of the pistol. However I would recommend cleaning all your firearms after each use. One of the only problems I can find with the M9/ Beretta 92 is that it is a 9mm. yes you a fast mussel velocity and 16 rounds, however compared to other calibers the 9mm round has virtually no stopping power. If you want to put someone or something down in 1 or 2 shots a 9mm is not for you. If you want to have a lot of fun plinking or a backup/drop pistil then this is a great pistol. I do carry it as a secondary pistol myself. Please don’t think I am bad mouthing the M9 or 9mm round, I love it. However, to stop something the .45 acp is for me.
