The 96A1 is an evolution of the legendary 92FS (M9), one of the world�s most successful pistols for military, law-enforcement and self-defense use. Chambered in the powerful .40 S&W, it comes with three 12-round magazines to deliver impressive firepower for any tactical use. It is safe, accurate and reliable while offering easy operation, accessorization and disassembly; and its durability is further enhanced by a recoil buffer that greatly diminishes component stress. A pistol that bears the unmistakeable Beretta looks, it is the ultimate choice for shooters wanting a professional-grade personal- or home-defense pistol that can also be easily adapted for concealed carry.

Even though its open top construction has a slightly wider slide profile to accommodate dual locking lugs, it also means that the Beretta 96A1 has the widest ejection port possible. This makes it far easier for spent cases to successfully eject, and for the operator to clear any obstructions.

Perhaps the greatest advantage to an open top design is reduced muzzle climb, while also practically eliminating malfunctions due to "stove-piping". The horizontal movement of the Beretta barrel and the fact that it doesn't use a Browning tilt system (as is the case for almost every other pistol design), the M9's in-line barrel travel feels smoother while minimizing felt recoil.

In fact, everything about the pistol is incredibly smooth. The slide stop releases with minimal pressure. When loading or unloading, one the first thing that a shooter will immediately notice is a butter smooth slide. Even the magazines appear to load much smoother.

Bruniton is Beretta's trade name to denote that it has a Mil-Spec finish. This is a proprietary Teflon over Parkerizing that provides superior lubricity, corrosion and wear resistance over blued finishes. The pistol has a slide mounted safety, which also doubles as its decocking lever.

Contained within the slide is an ingenious two-stage firing pin system. The rotating safety lever is home to the primary firing pin, which requires the inertia of a hammer strike to transfer through to the second firing pin located inside the slide housing, which then ultimately discharges the weapon.

When the safety lever is turned down, not only does it throw up a mechanical firing pin block in the path of the hammer, but makes it literally impossible to negligently discharge the handgun due to the simple fact the primary firing pin is now turned away from the hammer. The pistol's large and powerful extractor is home to a highly functional loaded chamber indicator.

When a round has been chambered, the extractor bulges out to reveal a red witness mark signifying the gun is gassed-up and ready to go. The pistol wears a set a visible 2- dot sights that has a single half-moon rear that when paired with the front dot, get on target well. To help prevent slide bite, the frame is equipped with an upswept beavertail that also helps provide greater control when firing.

A checkered plastic grip provides increases weapon retention and shooting control under repeated fire. Two fifteen round magazines are provided with the package.

For repair, the pistol is backed by a "2+1" year policy-- which means that if you just complete and submit the service agreement card as requested, there will be a 3- year warranty. Overall, the Beretta M9 is one of the most visually appealing, classically engineered self- defense pistols on the market built to provide years of reliable service.
