The Beretta M9 semi-automatic pistol is a premier combat and tactical pistol. It has performed time and again in the world’s most extreme environments and conditions. Buy Beretta M9 Pistol Online

There isn’t a comparable pistol that is durable, reliable and dependable as the Beretta M9. The Beretta M9 has been appropriately nicknamed the “World Defender.”

In the late 1970s, the US Air Force was looking to replace their revolvers with a modern semi-automatic pistol. At the same time, the Department of Defense saw an opportunity to standardize pistols across the entire US military.

This resulted in the Joint Service Small Arms Program or JSSAP. The JSSAP would go through three different pistol trials in order to find a suitable replacement for the various handguns within US military inventory. Order Beretta M9 Pistol Online

The specific process to do this was designated the XM9 program and set a total of 85 requirements that the handgun had to achieve in order to be accepted. Of these only thirteen were optional.

We can narrow these down to a handful of basic requirements. The XM9 pistol had to be chambered in 9 mm NATO and have a detachable magazine with a minimum capacity of 13 rounds.

The magazine had to be able to be ejected without having to use a second hand. The gun itself had to be Double Action/Single Action and lock open on an empty magazine. Beretta M9 Pistol For Sale Online

It had to make it through 5000 rounds with only eight malfunctions or less. This was portrayed as a minimum, but would be legally challenged later during an investigation of bias towards the Beretta submission.

The pistol had to have an ambidextrous thumb safety, a decocking device, and a firing pin block for the hammer when it was lowered. Buy Beretta M9 Pistol Online

The testing began in 1977 and showed promising accuracy of the 9mm handguns over the 1911A1s with the Beretta 92 FS performing the best. Buy Beretta M9 Pistol Online

However, the US Army argued that poor magazines for the 1911A1s resulted in less than ideal performance. Combined with disagreements about the Air Force’s temperature and environment tests, the Army rejected the test results.

The JSSAP agreed to do the test again with the Army conducting them. This led to new requirements being added and specifying that the pistol accepted would be referred to as the XM9 to be changed upon acceptance to the M9.

After the JSSAP trials, the Beretta 92 FS was officially adopted as the M9 which went on to serve as the US Military’s primary handgun from 1985 to 2017. Buy Beretta M9 Pistol Online
