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.
