Editor’s Note: The Beretta M9 served as the standard sidearm of the U.S. military for over 30 years, owing to its reliability and ease of use. These are accurate handguns with strong ergonomics, and the size and weight make them easy to shoot and instill confidence in the user. Although the design is a bit dated at this point, many are still drawn in by the aesthetics, shootability, and reliability of the 92-series platform.

FINAL VERDICT
The Beretta M9 served admirably as the standard military sidearm of the U.S. for a long time. Although the design is growing older, the basic M9 is still one of the softest and easiest shooting pistols on the market today. While newer versions have some nice improvements, the iconic original M9 is still quite effective and fun to shoot, especially when paired with the newer higher-capacity flush-fit magazines. Its proven track record and ease of use have ensured that it is here to stick around for the long haul.
