    We get stuck with that crappy M9 , the same US armed forces have , the same french armed forces have , the same many others operators around the world use daily.

    It is not the best sidearm on the face of the world but it does his job quite fine in the hand of a good operator .

    Pina polla - sorry horse poop I say -

    I have been firing that crapppy pistol for quite a number of years and it still stinks - it is more ****e to stree factures that a 400 pound sprinters - and the maint is terrible.

    In the realm of hand guns it is some where between "better than nothing" and "critical malfunction". As a secondary it works for only because of it's size, weight and strength against dropping... soon the US military I will bet will walk away from it completely as the SOF & MEUs are slowly doing. The barrel has an incredible amount of play, it is ****e to stress fractures, the US mil sights are terrible, service maint wise - the US inventory is long overdue for higher level maint or refurbishment - couple that with the ammunition and you get lack of blow back, smokestacked shells and we have yet to discuss the magazines that the use uses... You the operator need to own your own, because you may care for them correctly, but did the chump before you..

    But it sure beats a knife

    i am one of those that feel the sig should have been adopted. it s preferd by most elite units worldwide over the beretta.

    i dont like the beretta but thinking about it there are not many pistols that i like more then it.

    the thing that i find ironic is that in the civilian market the beretta is famous for a lot of the traits that is lacks in the military m9 such as reliability and worksmanship.

    Men,

    I do not like the 92f / m9 Beretta too , but that's the one we have......and , anyway , that's not a total crappy hardware as it seems.

    I agree any operator'd get whatever he wants , but that's not what's is going to happen.
