@DOE
I only have a little over 100 rounds suppressed through it so far and don't see any. |

Finally brought an M9A4 home. Very nice step above the M9A3 and I love the new frame coloring. Really like the new grip designs too. Trigger is very nice in single, double seems about like the M9A3. G-style decocker setup will be a new thing to learn but nothing major.
RDO mount is neat, not sure if I'll end up putting anything on it yet. Seems like it would ruin the sexy Italian-American curves.  I'm more tickled than when I got the M9A3. Hopefully shooting it is as rewarding.

I’ve never had an RMR and I’m thinking about slapping one on this pistol. Can anyone recommend me a particular model? I’ve got a 407k, 507C and Romeo 1 pro. I haven’t sent for the plate yet and I’m open to something different.

Having used both the dual illuminated RMR and the battery powered ones with manual override buttons I'd recommend either the latter or an SRO. The batteries last long enough that they really aren't a concern, especially if you actually turn the optic off. Even if you don't, you'll probably clean the pistol at least once a year and replacing the battery only takes a few seconds. The dual illum models are pretty decent but will run into certain conditions that allow the dot to wash out. The battery models do too, but you can manually override the auto-brightness. |

My experience as well. Too many limitations with the dual illum RMR models for me. I dumped it and went to the 06. Zero regrets. |

A jarvis threaded barrel is $337 (plus shipping and tax at checkout)to backorder with the options I selected and night sights can easily cost over $100. Might do that for a black 92x but I would rather buy a pistol that comes with a factory threaded barrel when possible so I will hold out a while for a black m9a4. |

A factory threaded 92 barrel is $200, but once you add night sights for $100-$160 and the extra mag for $20 it really is closer than I thought. Though I still wonder if they’ll do it now since they’ve pushed the 92X features so close to the A series guns. I believe the black M9A3 predates the 92X but could be wrong. |

The battery models do too, but you can manually override the auto-brightness. No argument there. I only use the dual illuminated models but I have an astigmatism so it's the only dot that is clear to me. The only battery powered dots that work for me are red Eotechs. Green Eotechs and all other red dots I've tried look messy for me... either a starburst or a smear. |

I ordered a dozen from Lanbo's right after the SOTU when Biden announced his intentions to ban mags that are not of an arbitrarily restricted capacity. Ordinarily when other state bans are announced I try to hold off on mag purchases to let dudes like you stock up because I can do so after your ban goes into effect. This is a good place to start looking. When you order a dozen mags at a time, $10 difference per mag adds up quick. |

Got my M9A4 zeroed yesterday, such a fun gun. Brought out my Sig 226 RXP with Romeo 1 pro to compare both. I shot both about the same. Forgot to take pics of the groups because my 21A blew up with cci mini mags. The recoil spring, lever and plunger fell out of the grip. There’s still a case missing the head in the chamber. I put it back together and the safety doesn’t engage anymore. Sent an email to beretta yesterday. We’ll see what they say.
