Is the Beretta M9 Still Relevant?

You are 100% on point with this video.

if you want to get talked into purchasing a Beretta watch this guy's video 😆

Awesome Policenauts reference

Hard to describe this video as anything other than 'aesthetic.' Nice job. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the SIG P226 by comparison.

I’ve carried a beretta m9 on my person or vehicle since 2012.ive only ever had one malfunction which was caused by a gas station cappuccino which I spilt on myself which got in the gun and dried. Let me tell you it locked it up so hard it only cycled halfway 😂

holy fucking shit. so much work gone into this video, thank you for working so hard on it! it was really interesting and informative!

I own a Beretta 92fs. I guess í'm different from most guys, í love the Beretta just the way it came from the factory. I've had mine over 2-years, í haven't changed one thing! As far as í'm concerned it's the all around best 9mm hand gun in the gun world. And-ít looks good too!

I've only had good experiences. The DA to SA first to second was a bit odd at first for me but it is accurate. Reliable, and well made.

this was my first gun in 2019. as a kid, i knew the second i could legally own a handgun, this was gonna be my first purchase. id sell all my guns today if i had to, and keep the M9. so much nostalgia for me and just pure love for the platform

I just bought a 92FS as my first firearm, you'd happy to know international market Berettas don't have the lawyer text. Mine is Italian made in 2022 (IT22 marking).

My all time fav pistol. Loved this gun from all the hollywood use in the ,80 and 90. I bought a 92 fs back in the late 90s. Fantastic gun. Recently bought a civilian m9. I can now die happy, eventually lol. My very favorite pistol. Im a glock man threw and threw but if i could only have 1 gun the 92 m9 is the one i would keep. The m9a2,3,4 no thanks. Gotta be the original. Must have all the curves.

The m9 and ar platform are the ultimate guns for the military. Soft shooting light easy to control for man and woman big and small. Just the best

The m9a4 is what you want if your hand are on the smallish size.

Hreat review. You hit all the hi points.

me after taking 5 shots to the chest soyjack crying on the floor "dude that gun isnt even relevant anymore"
didnt watch video yet just came here forthe absurd title

My M9 is my daily carry. Never ONCE have I had an issue with it.

I've got several models of the 92. The Centurion (older model), the Vertec (1911 style grip), and the good old standard 92FS. I can't say enough about them. I have somewhat of a large collection, but the 92's have been, and will always be the superior models that I have. Sig's, Taurus's, Rugers, RIA's....they're all great.....but the Beretta's are stand-outs.

In my opinion.....try to keep both eyes open when shooting handguns. You'll improve your hits ten fold.

Love my 92 first gun I ever bought. Only problem I’ve ever had with it was the slide not locking back when empty about 60% of the time. I’ve only run factory mags in it and was an issue from the start. You guys think it’s the mags or the gun?

Casio on a milanese strap. Chefs kiss

My only carry gun. Every single day. Long road trips. Doesn't matter. Full size LTT Beretta with an RMR and a surefire X300 ultra. Love the gun so much that I don't care about it being big and heavy and inconvienient at times to carry. I just learned to get better at concealing it. I carry it appendix in a tier one axis elite.

I learned to shoot on my dad's bone stock beretta 92fs and loved that gun. Shot the crap out of it, and got good at the heavy double action trigger. Then I grew up and got some money and went out and bought a LTT Beretta 92G Elite with the RDO slide and the NP3 parts and the trigger job and all that. Put some nice grips on it from Lok Grips, a Trijicon RMR, and a surefire X300. I have carried that gun every single day for the past 2 and a half years.

I think another important advantage of the 92/M9 is while the aftermarket for "upgrades" isn't the largest, the availability and inexpensiveness of spare parts, spare magazines, etc, is by far the largest of any hammer fired 9mm here in the states. You can find surplus mags for $5 on a regular basis, which is insane. And it's only going to get better as USGI parts begin seeping into the market.

That Policenauts OST extended my life

Great info. Thanks J.

The Beretta 92FS is my favorite auto-loading pistol of all time. It had always been a grail weapon for me since my father carried an M9 for many years during his time in the Marine Corps. Mine is an older Italian built model from 1990 with the factory wood grips and its never let me down once.

I have a 92FS that is 15 years old. I put a MCarbo trigger spring kit in it and I am no gunsmith or armorer. It was easy. I now have a 5lb double-action trigger weight and it is smooth as glass. $35 and an hour of my time.

I have an Girsan Regard MC. I love it.

Three things I truly envy in a man:

1. Youth
2. Intellisense
3. Guns

More than I decade ago I got lucky enough to get my hands on one of those initial 92s with a stepped slide. I think it was manufactured in 1975/76. A lot has changed since that era, but the magic is feels the same with my X-Performance now.

My man using the Metal Gear solid theme. Edit: Policenaughts, wow. Subscribed!!!!

I wish I could like a video twice

Carry a j frame? Ah, I see you too are a man of culture

@JaredAF, do you have a 92FS Centurion? I am looking to score one for $600 for my first 92. Curious about what you think of them, and if you know much about their history and who the biggest users of them were.

RIP Paul

I thought it was a hand gun not a HANDS gun 😂

which parts are plastic?
just need to know

The SA/DA pistol is the DUMBEST IDEA in the history of firearms. It serves no purpose other than to help you miss your first or second shot. If the intent is safety, simply having a single action only pistol with a long trigger take up and trigger disabled firing pin block will be just as safe.

Here is how I see it....if Russian and Ukraine Soldiers are using old ww2 guns, 92fs isn't going anywhere....

Great video. A gunsmith friend of mine recommended your channel.

I'm wondering how the Berettas longevity compares to makers like CZ or Tanfoglio? Both seem like more accessible platforms if someone really wants to chase that 100k round count figure.

My understanding is that Beretta has had complaints over the strength of their locking blocks, and that has been remedied to some degree with the third generation blocks that are being put into new production models. Even so, I'm not sure they have the same lifespan as the other two brands. Thoughts?

I bought a brand new M9 because the ones they issued me in the military were banged up and clanky.

The M9/92 is very relevant and even better these days thanks to Ernest Langdon.

I work in LE work. Unfortunately I don't get an option in what pistol I carry, but I'd prefer the Beretta over Glock for that extra barrel length, which would provide greater velocities. The weight allows for soft shooting. My job had the Beretta 96D once upon a time but that .40 really put some wear on it.

my 92fs inox remains to be my favorite handgun

definitely want to grab one, but only gonna grab one from italy

I think Beretta took the grip and magazine design from the Browning HP, but they ruin it with the large trigger and trigger guard.

Carried as my duty weapon as an Army MP for 8 years. I have a special love for it

I just purchased a used Beretta 92A1 - yes, the Italian version - and absolutely love it . I've been trying to find out if they are still in production and haven't had much luck . Can anyone fill me in ?

As a young cop in California back in 1986. The beretta 92fs was the gun issued to me. I carried it for a 30 yr career. I shot it a lot. It never failed me. Excellent pistol
