The M9 is basically a 92FS model pistol set to military specifications making for a rugged pistol.īeretta boasts that the M9 can function in -40 degree Fahrenheit temperatures to +140 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. The Beretta M9 is a large and reliable pistol if it is properly maintained, which most military service weapon are not (so the surplus M9 would best be used as a collectors item rather than a civilian defensive weapon). It is set to be replaced by the new Sig Saur Modular Handgun System, this means there is a chance that military M9 surplus hand-me-downs will be available to the general public, although their prices may be three times a factory new M9. It has been used in several military actions such as the Persian Gulf War and the War in Afghanistan. Military and its official entrance into service was 1990. The Beretta M9 was adopted in 1985 by the U.S. Safariland 6230 SLS Mid-Ride Military Holster, Beretta 92F/M9 Rails or No Rails w/ITI Mount This particular model is designed to ride lower on the belt as a better alternative to drop leg holsters (which are usually worn too low on the thigh anyway).
There might be some concern about how much of the trigger guard is not covered, but then again this is an open carry option and is not put down one's pants, so the requirements are different. This model is ambidexterous so it can be worn on the right or left side and the retention hood can be switched to accommodate either side. It uses a rotary hood for additional retention and it works with Safariland's MOLLE Lock System.
This particular model allows for carry with and without a light or other rail mounted hardware, which is facilitated by an adjustable area on the holster. A Safariland M9 holster is more than likely going to be your best bet for a quality holster with off the shelf capability for the M9 line of pistols outside of buying directly from Beretta.
