M9-A1
M9A1: The Evolution of a Classic Tactical Pistol
The Beretta M9A1 tactical pistol
evolved from the base design of the battle-tested and proven M9, with input
from military and law enforcement agencies around the world. Developed to meet
the demanding requirements of the US Marine Corps, the M9A1 incorporates the
established reliability and performance of the M9, with added features needed
for the ever-changing missions of peacekeeping forces. Thanks to its accuracy,
durability and versatility, it also makes a superb choice for personal or
home-defense as well as concealed carry.
Extra-Durable
Pistol and Magazines
Just as the US Marines are rightly
famous for their reliability and endurance, the M9A1 is built to be ultra-tough
and always dependable. Besides the superior steels of which it is constructed, it
also features a unique sand-resistant magazine that was developed for the sandy
environments of Iraq and Afghanistan and comes standard only on the M9A1. The
special PVD coating reduces friction, while the magazine tube design reduces
the possibility of grit accumulation within the round column, greatly
increasing the reliability and functioning of the M9A1 even in the most extreme
conditions.
Packed with Features
As you take the M9A1 out of the box,
it won’t fail to impress you for the abundance of tactical features it offers.
Firstly, there is an integral Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail situated under the
barrel, for easy attachment of accessories such as tactical lights and laser
aiming devices. The 3-dot sight system on this pistol is optimized for quick
acquisition of the target, while the front and backstrap of the frame are
checkered to ensure a positive purchase no matter the weather conditions. Also,
the magazine well has an aggressive internal bevel to facilitate fast tactical
reloads in combat as well as competition situations.
Soft-Shooting,
Accurate and Easy to Maintain
At the range, the M9A1 will impress you for its low recoil,
as well as its accuracy. As one of the ultimate evolutions of a best-in-class military
and law-enforcement pistol, it will reliably feed commercial ammo, even with
more open hollow-point designs. Maintenance is easy: this pistol requires no
tools for disassembly, while the reverse is even faster and easier, with the
disassembly lever returning into the locked position automatically. Thanks to
all these features, the M9A1 is an ideal tactical pistol that will meet the
requirements of the most demanding users.
