The M9 averaged 17,500 before experiencing any type of failure, part of the reason Beretta won the contract.

Calling them junk is ignorant and stopping power is overrated if you can’t hit your target.

The problem is the military has to used ball ammo.

Either way, I’m looking forward to buying a surplus M9

Beretta has been making firearms for over 500 years.
They have a pretty good idea of what they are doing.

The 1911 is expensive to shoot and our troops won’t get sufficient range time with Obama as POTUS.

“Calling them junk is ignorant and stopping power is overrated if you can’t hit your target.”

You must have me confused with someone else here. I never said that. In fact, I think Beretta’s are fine guns. So happens though, I prefer Sigs.
