There’s just something about it that doesn’t lend itself to top-level accuracy in my hands, but I’ve seen some pretty amazing things done with one. I have tried taking the DA/SA thing out of the equation by shooting it only in single-action. I can’t really rave about it here because I have some issues getting really good accuracy out of it.
It’s not bad, but it’s also nothing to write home about. This 10-round, 15-yard group was fired in DA/SA pairs. Let’s take a look at some of its features, and see what this old warhorse is all about. Even so, I recognize this gun as a product of its time and to be honest, it’s a little dated. I’ll be honest, though: I didn’t hate the M9 and I surely don’t hate the Beretta 92FS. Infantrymen will tell you what a piece of crap their M9 was, and officers of any denomination will lay blame for their piss-poor marksmanship on the big 9mm. You can’t talk to a SF Weapons Sergeant for five minutes – about anything – without broken locking blocks being brought into the conversation. Military guys are often somewhat down on the Beretta M9/92.
I have fired quite a few rounds through that gun, and I have also been issued a Beretta and carried during my first and only Iraq deployment.
