I drilled them all, and decided I'd have one someday. Then my buddy said "Try this old friend" and handed me his Beretta. I remember stepping back to do some 25 yard head shots at a shoot shortly after my return stateside with my completely Apex&10-8 upgraded M&P9, and hitting most of them. Once I got over my disdain for the M9, I came to really like it, and I don't think there is a 9mm I shoot better right now. I do not need it to be a light compatible holster off the start, but might as well knock both birds out with one stone. I have no intentions of concealing this pistol from the outset, so this holster may very well work for me. I don't think there's a pistol light these holsters won't work with. They will also work with the following lights: X300, X300U, X300V, X400, X400U, as confirmed by yours truly. I've confirmed these holsters will work with the 92A1, with or without a light. If you're not going to attempt to conceal this thing, and plan on running a light, go with the Safariland 3280 or 3285. I always toy with the idea of getting a Beretta M9A1, so I've reread this several times. The ones they make for Beretta are just as great. I also like the look of a gun with a trigger colored separate from the rest of the gun.Ī buddy of mine has a 1911 with a pair of Alumagrips on it and it feels great. Helps with trigger pull because of the increased weight. To me its main job is to provide return so I figured factory weight was fine.įeels better than polymer. It comes in a lighter and heaver version. I found that is helps for really smooth trigger pull. I read that this was developed for the US Boarder Patrol and the problems they had with the factory trigger sprig breaking.
This part was originally created to replace a weak trigger spring. The spring provides a much lighter trigger pull. I also found that some people are using a 1911 mainspring but I wanted to stick to a Beretta factory part. Both are great but I must admit, the big seller for me was that a skeletonized hammer looks awesome. It supposedly increases cycle speed and gives a lighter pull to the trigger. I purchased the following from Brownells, So I wanted to create a thread in case anyone out there is looking to do some work on there M9A1 or any other 92SF. Over the course of two months I researched and I think I've compiled the best upgrades you can do for just over a hundred bucks. I've searched all over the internet and finding information on specific upgrades you can make to an M9A1 is really hard to find.
Someone on another forum offered some suggestions: I will likely use this Beretta in MIL/LE classes to increase my skill set and familiarity with it, and hopefully become more proficient with what I'm issued, not just what I'd prefer to carry. Intended role for it is range use, occasional practice, possible bedside type use with a weapon mounted light, and I will be taking classes with it if purchased. Again, I do not intend a CCW role for this pistol, though the winters here certainly allow for it. I know that pistol receives a lot of hate, but none of it has been reflected by my experiences with the pistol so long as the magazines were in good shape. I also don't live in a desert.Ĥ-What maintenance in this pistol is there that I need to be aware of? I'm a 1911 guy at heart, so you're not going to shock me here.
I also like that the M9A1 comes with the Sand Resistant mags, though my normal mags never gave me issues overseas as I cleaned them regularly. I do like that the M9A1 is manufactured in America by Americans, not imported from Italy.
Does the insert honestly matter long term if you stay on top of your springs? Can you convert the M9A1 to include the insert?Ģ-Do the current M9A1s come with the improved Gen 3 locking blocks? Do they need to be replaced periodically? Are Gen 3 locking blocks the latest and greatest?ģ-Other than the trigger guard and frame insert, is there any other difference between the M9A1 and the 92A1? I could care less about the trigger guard. I've read a couple of the threads so far, including the one on the pending(?) M9A3, and am left with the following questions.ġ-Is there any reason to get the 92A1 over the M9A1? I know the 92A1 has a captured recoil spring, which doesn't matter to me, and an interesting blue insert(buffer plate?) in the frame. I've decided to get the railed version, since I might like to change the front sight one day, and that brings me to the M9A1 vs the 92A1. I just like that for being issued it, it is certainly a shootable/accurate pistol. I don't need it for concealed carry, etc, so let's not go down the 9mm ego-trip rabbit hole for what 9mm I should be buying. I'm thinking about picking up a Beretta, as it's what I'm issued for a pistol.
