[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just ordered a M9 . (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 1/24/2017 7:09:58 AM EDT
| I always wanted one. But got stuck between the 92FS vs M9 . I know it really the same pistol for practical purposes . The finnish for protection on the M9 was the deciding factor. Read the arguments between Italy made 92 vs American made 92 or M9 . Half the crowd said Italy 92's was slightly better put together .Fit and finish. The other half said the same thing about the American made one . I'm just happy I got one . I'm in the club now..... WarDawg |

The trigger guard, backstrap, and straight dust cover make for a much more attractive piece of hardware than the 92FS' cues, IMO. |

Just don't like that rounded trigger guard aesthetically. Classic 92FS is GTG. |

Just got mine in. Â Real M9 with M9 serial number, etc.
Going to install the D spring, maybe some G10 or wood grips and steel guide rod. Has the post and dot sight, etc. Â The real deal. I work at LGS and carry in the shop. Â I have a holster I used in Bosnia and will take the M9 to work in this shoulder holster. Â LOL. Pic is new M9 right out of the box. Got the LE version with three mags and OTD for $475.00 thanks to an ARFCOM member showing me where to buy. Attached File Attached File |

One of my favorites
https://imgur.com/a/l7mYr Notice mine has the older non serif pb and all steel parts. The new ones have the plastic coated steel parts and the serif pb. This one is closer to an earlier issued m9. |

Are there fake M9's? Serious question as I may be in the market for one of these soon? So other than the M9 markings and serial #, what should I be looking for? |

The M9 Commercial has "M9-Number" serial numbers, but the M9a1 and M9a3 just have standard Beretta serial numbers. No difference or fake/not fake, just how the markings are done. |

From what I've seen m9's are more than 92fs. Not having the billboards on it is worth it. Quoted:

If I were looking to buy an M9, where would I find the best price? Just looking at gunbroker, there is a serious premium for the M9 over the 92. From what I've seen m9's are more than 92fs. Not having the billboards on it is worth it.

Great place to buy and great prices. I bought both the M9 and M9A1 from these guys.
The only thing I changed out on my Beretta's were the triggers and D spring. The trigger is a steel product from Wilson Combat. |
| I just ordered one of these! Long time Beretta admirer, now a first time owner of one! I'm really excited. |

I just bought a M9 at the local fleamarket Sunday for $250. It has a fair amount of holster wear, and was the filthiest gun I ever saw. But after a ton of scrubbing, it doesn't look too bad. I kinda like the fact it has finish were, I've always admired the well used look,
Took it out and ran 50 rounds thru it. It is one smooth shooter. I did have one fail to go fully into battery, and the slide was locked up tight. Not sure what was going on there? Ammo was CCI Brass. |
|
Almost 4k rounds after about 10 years... Or so... I forget when I got it. It has never choked once. Although I used to ride the slide stop when I first got it and wouldn't lock back. But no malf's of any sort. It is accurate, fun and easy to shoot. I think my Son might be getting ready for it. He wants to try it out. I think it's a good first 9mm to shoot, since it's so easy on the recoil.
I wanna put a light on it for bedside duty at this point. But not sure if I should buy the surefire MR11 or one of the cheaper ones....

There is a P116 on eBay right now with a single bid $89. Surefire P116
If you buy a tick to go with it you can do my easy on/easy off mod. It takes less than 5 minutes with a dremel. The factory P116 mount is clunky. It bolts to the trigger guard and is not easy on/off. Tick 
@coltshorty14 brought this to my attention, that is not my eBay listing and that is not my gun in the ad. I actually think the gun belongs to @Augee not sure the ad is his. Our M9s are very similar except his has more wear, uses the P116 mount, (mine uses the tick mount), his wears actual simonich gunner grips, (mine are Lok grip reproduction gunner grips), and his wears a lanyard. |

I picked mine up on Saturday. Shot it yesterday. The plastic mag release button is extremely sticky and grinds when pressed. I am debating on removing it and doing some fine sanding or just ordering either a steel replacement or the Wilson extended version. |

I wasn't insinuating that you were shilling for a auction. Was just curious cause I thought the pic looked familiar. BTW, I bid on that, and was outbid at the last second, and a day later it was relisted, smelled fishy.  I appreciated you reaching out to me about it. For me the action is still active and it closes in 1 day and 22 mins. There is currently a single $89 bid on it.

Mine came in a few days ago. See my new avatar. 
After one range trip and some dry firing I'm impressed with how much the DA trigger has smoothed out. I also installed the D spring. I fired one mag in DA decocking every time. I grouped better in double action than single action.  I guess it makes sense since I've shot a lot of DA revolver in the past few years.
