Finally a Beretta in the stable - M9A3


I've shot plenty of Berettas, who hasn't. Always a "meh" factor for some reason, for me. Excepting perhaps the Billenium pistols, those were cool. But, I found one worthy of owning. The DA and SA are what sold me, but overall I like it.

I have one of these too. They are just cool!

The M9A3 is the only of my collection of M9/92 pistols I have not changed the hammer spring in.

I hope so, otherwise that gun shop is in trou-ble.

Right now the only things you can't buy new are AR-15s, and Glocks. And some high end makers that won't submit their guns for "testing."

Everyone should own one. The 92 is my favorite DA/SA full size 9mm. For me it was better than my P226.

WC action tune takes it to another level.

So you can’t have a Glock but you can have this??? Seems legit and totally sensible. Roll Eyes

I always shy’d away from the 92 as I have fairly small paws. I had shot them but not owned. I finally bought one and come to find out they shoot GREAT in my hands despite the “feel” of the size. I really developed a love for them.

Enjoy it in good health and for God sakes stay away from those dangerous guns like Glocks. Razz

Glock and the MA AG have been fighting in court for some time. It's dumb as hell. I have the Glocks I brought with me when I moved back, and the ones I've bought here were already civilian owned so can't be regulated by the AG, again, dumb.

Only Beretta. Unless someone gives me one. Just a range toy/example for the collection.

It is interesting, and stylish, the color choices of the barrel, slide and frame. Oh those Italians. The shop had black ones to, I have plenty of black guns.

People with Class A permits can possess standard cap mags made before 1998. It's not a priority with this gun, but I imagine that old Beretta mags will work in it. Other weapons like the P320 or SCAR 17, 10rnds only. Think of the chirrins!

Gun laws are dumb.

Definitely a good looking gun.

Congrats, enjoy your M9A3 Arc.

I have a "Plain Jane" M9, I bought used, but the original owner only fired fifty rounds in it. It had a nice smooth DA/SA trigger pull, but it was heavy, installed the D spring and it now is a great trigger. The higher end 92's are better I guess, but I have no interest in more Beretta's at this point in time.
