I have been reading a lot about semi-auto 9mm handguns to make comparisons. I find a lot of information about Glocks, CZ, Sigs, Springfields, etc. etc. but little about the gun which is the weapon of choice for the U.S. Army. Any serious comments on this?
Try searching using it's twin sister's name, 92FS. For all intent and purpose they are the same pistol, just a few roll marks and although Beretta changed the shape of the 92FS lower, those changes have found their way into some M9s.
Personally I am a Series 92 collector, and have put many rounds through several of mine, one of which is part of the reason the military likes the M9 so much, the parts are not custom fit to one pistol. I have one super accurate shooter built up using unused parts from several donor pistols, many new parts and a couple of very used parts, all put together making one 100% reliable, very accurate even in my old hands, FrankenSeries 92.
A 92FS was my first handgun. Got it around 1989 or so. Carried it for many years. The only reason I switched to a Glock 19 is weight. A lighter weight gun with the same 15 round mag. Now my son prefers to shoot my Beretta (he doesn't like recoil at all and won't even touch my Glock 20!)
Good gun for the military, but if I am carrying a gun that size, I will take a 1911.
