Why can't I find.....
« on: April 12, 2010, 11:53:04 AM »
I've searched everywhere for a Beretta M9A1 with zero luck! Is it just because it's the Marine Corps sidearm or is Beretta just being greedy? I'm shopping for a 9mm & that was my first choice so I'm lost. I have a Glock so no need to suggest one but any other suggestions are welcome.

Look for a Beretta 92FS, it's the same handgun.

Don't get hungup on the Military designation.

Yea, last year at Cabelas in Hartford, I held and inspected one of each side by side.  Barring any internals like guide rod or trigger guard being a polymer, they are identical in function and asthetics.

Really not much different than the one I bought back in 1983 before the military adopted it.

It's more the accessory rail than the fact that it's a military gun.

I could have something to do with the contract they signed last year for another 400k pistols for the Army. ::) I know my local store does have a Beretta I don't know if has the accessory rail or not.

My local store has a 92FS. I hate Beretta slides so I simply noted it was there and kept on looking.
I'm going there Tuesday noon so I can check details if any one cares ?

any other suggestions are welcome.

The M&P line of pistols from S&W sold me.  I was a tried and true Sig Sauer shooter until I got ahold of a M&P45.  I have shot the 9mm version also.  It was excellent.  The Apex Tactical DCAEK kit is a great addition to the M&P.

Good luck with your search.
