The M9A1 is Beretta's refinement of the pistol that served as the U.S. military sidearm for over thirty years. It keeps everything that made the 92 series famous — the open-slide design that all but eliminates stovepipe malfunctions, the alloy frame, and the 4.9-inch barrel that makes it remarkably soft-shooting for a 9mm.

What the A1 adds is a Picatinny accessory rail for a weapon light, a checkered front strap and backstrap for better purchase, and beveled magazine well for faster reloads. This one comes in black with two magazines. It's a large pistol, but that size translates directly into control and comfort — an excellent home-defense and range gun.
