Weekend Photo: The Beretta M9, an unappreciated classic
Published: October 4th, 2014
OptimusGlen emailed us this photo of his Beretta M9, brand new and straight out of the box. The Beretta does not get enough love these days. I always enjoy shooting the M9/92FS. Full size metal framed 9mm pistol may not be “cool” these days, but I for one will always love them. Them kids with their tiny plastic fantastic lightweight .357 SIG firecrackers can get off my lawn.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

One of the most beautiful pistols ever made. Next to the 1911.
The M9/92 series is a good pistol but the main drawback for me is the manual safety. Luckily Wilson Combat is now fixing it with their G conversions. One day I'll save up for an M9A1 and have Wilson work their magic on it.
