military field trials, the pistol has repeatedly exceeded the governments requirement for firing a 10- shot group at 3- inches or less from 50- meters. The 92X features a deeply recessed combat muzzle crown which protects the rifling and accuracy. After the initial first shot, however, the pistol resets to a very smooth and lightweight trigger pull. When one stops to consider that the Beretta M9 was originally designed as a military and police pistol, you start to appreciate the liability concerns and necessity for a trigger whose first shot is deliberate and intentional. For some, the heavy DA trigger pull is a deal breaker, yet for others, the margin of safety that it provides seals the deal- so it's really about personal preference and a owner's intended use of the handgun. On the down side, the trigger is far from being smooth as it actually feels fairly stiff while firing in double action mode. Even the magazines appear to load much smoother. When loading or unloading, one the first thing that a shooter will immediately notice is a butter smooth slide. The slide stop releases with minimal pressure. In fact, everything about the pistol is incredibly smooth.

The horizontal movement of the Beretta barrel and the fact that it doesn't use a Browning tilt system (as is the case for almost every other pistol design), the M9's in-line barrel travel feels smoother while minimizing felt recoil. Perhaps the greatest advantage to an open top design is reduced muzzle climb, while also practically eliminating malfunctions due to 'stove-piping'. Of lesser importance, an exposed barrel leads to more rapid cooling. In addition, the shooter can more easily identify malfunctions, or safely perform 'press checks' to confirm the pistol's ready status. This makes it far easier for spent cases to successfully eject, and for the operator to clear any obstructions. This technological breakthrough paved the way for the elimination of an enclosed slide.Д®ven though its open top construction has a slightly wider slide profile to accommodate dual locking lugs, it also means that the Beretta 92x has the widest ejection port possible. Unlike the typical Browning tilt system, which locks-up either through barrel lugs or the barrel's hood, the Beretta 92X utilizes a floating wedge locking block borrowed from the famous German Walther P38 military pistol. It also provides the advantage of further weight reduction. More importantly, the Beretta M9 Commercial feels like it was engineered to be a natural extension of the human hand.ДЄt the heart of the design is an open top slide that ensures smooth feeding, reliable ejection and allows for the easy clearance of obstructions. Like most high performance Italian designs, the pistol features unmistakeably elegant and stylish architecture. Unlike its steel framed ancestor, the modern day M9 is equipped with an advanced lightweight aluminum alloy frame that wraps around a high capacity 15- round magazine. Then in 1976, Beretta released a double action, double stack updated version designated the Model 92. This was an all steel, single action, single stack pistol. combined armed forces official duty sidearm, the M9 Pistol can trace it's origins back to the Italian Beretta Model 1951 'Brigadier'.
