I'm trying to get some feedback on the Beretta 9000s. I have heard a lot of non-Beretta owners complain about this weapon. I want to get a .40 cal 9000s for my new carry weapon since I love the way it feels in my hand. It is very compact and fired very well at the range when I shot the one they had for sale. I would still buy a new one but I need some feedback first. One things for sure, the people at Beretta are assholes but they have awesome quality in there weaponry. |
| I love my Beretta 96. When I first shot the 9000s I like that it had the same Beretta feel in a much more compact model. I will only buy a new .40 SW, but when I shot the 9mm there was no recoil whatsoever. I could fire off 3-4 shots quickly and still shoot within a few inches. I'm glad to hear you like it so much, RogueSpear. I have heard a lot of complaining about the safety lever being very stiff at first. Did you ever notice this? |
| When I bought mine the safety lever was fine. The only thing that it is some what difficult to drop the hammer after chambering a round. But other than that I have no problems with it. Although it is interesting the you can leave the hammer cocked while the safety is on similiar to a 1911 although I can't figure out why you would want to do this. Other than it would be single action all the time instead of DO first round. I agree, I would never buy a 9mm in any firearm. I shot 9mm a lot in college and don't feel it has as much knock down as a .40 S&W.(but that's just my opinion) |

The 9000S can't be compared to Beretta Full-Size models. It serves its purpose as a small and lightweight daily carry weapon. I owned a 40 S&W model, it was my first carry gun and I put a lot of rounds through it at the range. It seemed like a very accurate gun and I didn't have many complaints. My Father-in-Law owns the 9000S in 9MM (it's almost one year old now) and the weapon has developed accuracy issues. Even if this is isolated I would opt for the 9000S in .40 if you can. |
