Few pistols carry as much history as the Beretta M9. The military chose the 92 as its service pistol, and this JS92M9A1M is a limited-run tribute built on the 92FS with M9A1 features. The pistol is new, with a 4.9 inch barrel and a 15+1 capacity, chambered in 9mm Luger.

The grip is black synthetic, and the pistol is finished in black. The M9A1 designation points to a version with a rail on the frame, which allows you to mount a light. That matters if you want to use the pistol for home defense. Wipe it down, put a drop of oil on the rails, and it should give you years of steady service.

The 92 platform is a favorite of shooters who value reliability and soft recoil. The locking block system is simple and durable, and the weight keeps the pistol steady. For those who served with the M9, it is a familiar gun. For collectors, it is a way to own a piece of military history.

The pistol ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is run there before you take possession.
