With the army snubbing the A3 for the second time, they may have to sell em cheap lol.
It's a good looking 92, I already have a 92A1 so I'll wait till they hit the second hand market before buying. |

Question: How does the M9A3 frame differ from a standard Vertec frame? Reason I ask is because I'm wondering if the adjustable back straps will work on a Vertec FS.

It has the M9A1 aggressive checkering and beveled mag well, and has a three slot rail. I don't think it has traditional adjustable back straps, just an extra wrap around grip that replaces the grips and is the size of the standard M9. See below.

As much as I want the M9A3 to be sold at $690 (or at least in the $700 range), I seriously doubt it will be that inexpensive. The M9 is going for around $550, and the M9A1 is going for around $650. The only differences between the M9 and M9A1 are a slightly different grip, the large dust cover/accessory rail, and some internal improvements. Those differences will cost you $100. With this being said, the M9A3 will have a full 3-slot accessory rail, a completely different frame and grip (possibly with large grip included), night sights, maybe a threaded barrel, improved internal parts, a completely different color scheme, and maybe more. In my amateur opinion, that will cost a whole lot more than $40-$50 dollars (difference in price between A1 and A3).
Hopefully I am wrong, but I just don't see it happening. Im still waiting for the release before I buy my first Beretta. I really hope the price is reasonable and they make some models in black... I don't need my handgun to blend in with sand living in Ohio. |

I am wondering if I am missing something... The slide mounted safety has been known to have issues for some people when "coming over the top" for a reload or a slide racking. The safety can be engaged by the grabbing of the slide, and then when the slide goes forward, the hammer drops and the safety stays on, which means a pull of the trigger without the accompanying "bang" which can be frustrating to a shooter. I usually avoid the possibility of this happening by NOT slingshotting the slide, and using the slide release on my Beretta. I have medium hands, but have never had any issues with flipping the safety off on the draw stroke, but I practiced, and practiced, and practiced some more, to make sure it was automatic when I did it. However, a frame mounted safety, that would allow for carrying the weapon cocked and locked, would eliminate the DA/SA transition from any shooting situation. While the DA/SA is a safe alternative, cocked and locked is a safe option as well. That's why I want a frame mounted safety. Others may have slightly different reasons, but I believe a lot of them are similar. |

Both times were during pistol qual while on active duty doing exactly what you described: an "over the top" slide manipulation. I just accepted it as part of the platform and a training issue at the time. Now I know there is a better way....the G version. |

<<snip>>. If you want to be able to carry cocked-and-locked with safety on, it is a simple modification to disable the decocker. Never saw the point myself, but it's been done. ETA: It's just removing the little bit that does the decocking, while leaving the safety intact and functional. You're saying people actually modify the safety/decocker to allow the safety to be on, but the gun to be in SA mode? Got any links? I have NEVER heard of this. |

I looked into it when I first got my Beretta, and yes I saw pictures. I'll see if I can find it.
ETA: Found it. Info from user "Ouzo" here: http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/index.php/t-317693.html No picture was given, but a detailed description. Paraphrasing, simply remove the decocking lever (part 31 in this schematic: http://www.brownells.com/schematics/Beretta-/92-96-FS-D-M-22-Practice-Kit-sid882.aspx#r31sid882). The gun can then be put on safe without lowering the hammer. Now, the trigger will STILL DROP THE HAMMER (don't try this and blame me when you freak out) but the safety still rotates the firing pin out of the way when engaged so it can't discharge the gun. If this happens accidentally, the DA still works as normal. I can't say it's a carry modification I'd make, but it could be fantastic for a range/competition gun. |

It'll be interesting to see what happens to these other Beretta 92 models when the M9A3 FINALLY comes out, that is, IF it becomes a standard production 92 pistol. If it does, other than a lower price for say a 92A1 or M9A1, realistically what would those two offer most people over the M9A1?
To be clear I don't want any of them to go away or be discontinued or anything, but it seems to me they'd be (mostly)redundant in terms of features with the arrival of the M9A3, and if people didn't want to spring the dough or wanted more a plain Jane 92 type gun they could go with a 92FS, M9, or 92G for simplicity of features and a bit less money. Man I wish the damn M9A3 would just come out already--tomorrow will be JUNE. |

So I am actively thinking about an M9 purchase, like, this week, as I just got rid of my G19 when I remembered I don't like Glocks. The g19 was going to be my zombie apocalypse gun- with easily found mags and parts, etc but I think an M9 will fit this role maybe better.
