Bought a Beretta M9

[Cap'n Mike]

I have big hands so I always liked shooting the M9.
I found the slide release is in the perfect spot for my thumb.
The G model conversion that turns the safety/decocker into a decocker only seems like a really good idea.

Do any of you M9 owners want a preban mag for it? Pm me. I have one. I have no use for I will let it go for what I paid it’s taking up room in my safe.

Only handled them Infantry OBC, not a fan. M1911s were issue early in career and I got out before the 9's ever reached the state National Guard units. That being said this week I got a Beretta M1951 which is a forerunner to the M9.

For the right price I would pick up a M9A3 to sit next to my Sig M17 (Employee).

First thing is to get the D spring, Easy in
2nd is a Crossbreed IWB Supertuck, Carried this for over a year.
3rd get the 22 conversion You will have too much fun shooting this thing and will run out of 9 before you know it.....

Received Wilson steel fluted guide rod and Black Cherry grips, very nice. Need to shoot it this week, reluctant to expend ammo that can't be replaced

A 22lr conversion kit is nice.
Fun as well. Stupid easy to plink with.
It'll make you giggle a little

Get a stripped .40 slide and build it out with a custom barrel for .357sig.

Ask me how I know.

ok how do you know,
and don't try to convince me, all I need is another caliber like a hole in the head.

actually I was going the other way, you can find 96s (old police) cheap at one point, then someone on gun broker was selling slightly used 9mm barrels and slides for like $75 about 5 years ago.

Right. (And thank you for the entreé.)


In building from small parts, I recommend growing another arm or two, or having prehensile toes, or perhaps whatever jig Beretta and Army armorers use.

Yep, that's a good deal too. I think that might eject a little funny though it would probably function fine.

The only real pain in the ass is, if it's a g series from factory.
Fs's in comparison are hella easy to work on
