That's cool. Hopefully by the end of Oct there will be plenty of you tube videos of the M9A3 then.

$870 for a M9 with better ergos...no thanks.
Don't get me wrong I like the M9, however for that price I can get 2 Glock 19's and I won't have the issue of short locking block life and one of if not the worste strigger return spring designs ever created. |

To be fair in that comparison...I have seen 1 fail in a gun that was over 20k rds...I have at least 10K through 1 Glock & almost the same in others & have never seen one break. And when it does break the gun still functions perfectly fine. Once the Beretta's goes it's done. |

Because the smaller frame makes it more approachable for more shooters, and the add-on grip gives you the same palm swell as an option? Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me, I'd be OK with them going this way for the whole line. I just put a deposit down on an A3 with a significantly lower final price than MAP Quote HistoryQuoted:

Wonder why they removed the palm swell on the backstrap. I know it's personal preference, but it's a trend that has disqualified quite a few pistols from my consideration. They feel like shit without it IMHO. Because the smaller frame makes it more approachable for more shooters, and the add-on grip gives you the same palm swell as an option? Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me, I'd be OK with them going this way for the whole line. I just put a deposit down on an A3 with a significantly lower final price than MAP IMO the palm swell was fine. The Beretta 92FS has a wider grip and that swell makes it more stable in my hands. The vertec profile makes sense on a slim gun like a 1911, but not so much on a Beretta. I'd prefer a removable backstrap, because the grip option limits you to one piece grips. Can't use grips for a regular 92FS, i.e. aftermarket aluminum/G10. |

Beretta USA posted this on their facebook 8 hours ago.
"Beretta M9A3 pistol is now shipping to retailers nationwide. http://www.beretta.com/en-us/beretta-m9a3-handgun-now-shipping/" Their website lists the MSRP as $1099.00 http://www.beretta.com/en-us/m9a3/ I'm a little torn between the M9A3 and the Wilson Combat 92G. I've never held a vertec frame, and never held a Brigadier slide. So each one has an unknown to it... But man, that tab color on the A3 is terrible. I don't live in a desert and that's totally useless to me. I'm also a little miffed with the "next generation military pistol" line they keep throwing around. This isn't the M9 I used in service, and it isn't slated to get used by anyone in the military... pure sales gimmick. It's pretty nice for what it is on its own merits... why play games? I'm going to hold off on purchasing either one for a while until I can see them in person. -Cory |
