NATO-specification 124-grain ammunition is hotter than civilian +P ammunition and can be hard on the firearm. The locking block was the same basic design used in the Mauser C96 and later the Walther P38. This is true of the Garand rifle, and the 1911 progressed from the 1911 to the 1911A1. It is rare for a firearm to enter military service and not undergo some type of revision or modification. Americans use their pistols more often than other armies, and the Beretta soon proved to be reliable in action. No matter how rigorous the test, you don’t know how reliable a handgun is until it enters service. The SIG P226 tied the Beretta for reliability, but perhaps the manual safety of the Beretta is the feature that tipped the scales. While there are many opinions, when double-action first-shot handguns of the period are considered, the Beretta was among the best available. The Beretta was a product of the world’s longest-serving arms maker and had passed a difficult trail period with its reputation intact. While there are many fans of the 1911, there are also many detractors and some who felt the pistol was long overdue for replacement. The Beretta replaced the long-serving 1911A1. The apple cart wasn’t upset it was wrecked. Built on extremely strong, lightweight, forged aircraft-quality aluminum alloy frames, these semi-automatic pistols feature an open top slide that virtually eliminates jamming and stove piping.When the United States Army adopted the Beretta M9, it was quite a surprise to many of us. The M9A3 utilizes the same short recoil, delayed blowback system as does the battle proven Beretta M9. The frame slide, barrel, and grips are finished in FDE.
Tritium night sights provide rapid sight acquisition under any light conditions. The Beretta M9A3 Semi-Auto Pistol has a MIL-STD-1913 rail on the frame, just ahead of the trigger guard, for the attachment of aftermarket tactical sights and lights. A beveled magazine-well speeds in reloading.
The barrel is threaded for a suppressor, and comes with an installed thread protector. The front sight on the M9A3 is dovetailed to the slide for easy replacement. The M9A3 uses a universal slide, which easily converts from FS to G mode (safety-decocker or decocker-only). The new grip design comes with front and back strap checkering and thin straight grip panels in FDE. The grip is also thinner than the original M9, though it still uses a double-stack, high-capacity magazine. The Vertec-style vertical grip of the M9A3 has a vertical configuration, making the pistol point instinctively for rapid target engagement. The Beretta® M9A3 Semi-Auto Pistol evolved from the M9 service pistol to become a highly adaptive tactical pistol, now manufactured in Beretta's facility in Italy.
