I was a Marine in the 80's. In Okinawa Japan 1985 I remember helping to open crates full of brand new Beretta M9's . The old 45's in the armory were all extremely worn out. The Beretta was awesome in our opinion at that time. Still own one to this day. I'm all gray now but the finish on my 92 is still black.

The main reason the Beretta was chosen over the Sig, at least from the USAF point of view. Was the Beretta had a "safety" and not a " decocker". In a normal guard mount, the security forces, who actually chamber a round compared to Army pogues, could leave the safety on, chamber a round in the clearing barrel and then flip the safety off and holster. Safer gun than SIG with de cocker, at least with less well trained folks. My M9 went 10,000 nato rounds before breaking a trigger return spring and I noticed a cracked locking block when cleaning. I have seen a many broken locking blocks on Army guns recently due to high round counts, my civilian guns, full size and compact keep on rocking. I have seen hundreds of Beretta malfunctions, almost all due to cheap GOV contract mags full of dust and bone dry guns on the range and in theater, because "lube attracts dust". The M9 is a great gun when maintained and not issued to untrained fucktards.

My m9a1 has a metal safety and poly coated metal trigger. And the poly mainspring housing and guide rod are fine being poly. 8000 rounds down range and no issues. No need to change out parts. If they're good enough for break anything marines they're good enough for us civilians.

The USMC 1911's I qualified with in the early 1980's were pretty rough. Regardless of handgun choice, I am glad to see that the course of fire was improved for all services.

I always thought the 45acp made more sense for military because the military isn't allowed to use hollow point ammo. A Glock in 45acp should have been the replacement in my opinion. Once the Glock 21 came out. I think some of the US military requirements, like a safety, are a bit silly. It made sense in the days when people were taught to keep their finger on the trigger, but now they're taught to keep their finger out of the trigger guard. From my understanding, almost no soldiers are actually issued a handgun. Handguns are for tank crews, pilots, officers, military police, etc. Or so I'm told.

Moreover, even the old "Dog Faces" who were hurt about the 1911's retirement couldn't change my mind with their grumbling. Now after all of these years, I am purchasing my own to use in competition with "Action Shooting International" (ASI). Thank you for being a great resource of knowledge.

All the current production Beretta firearms, both the M9 series and the 92 series have the updated locking block. If you go into your local gun store and buy one new in box, you're good to go. If you buy one from 10 years ago, I'm not sure.
