help Beretta M9A3 FAQ
What improvements does the Beretta M9A3 have over the original military M9?
The Beretta M9A3 features a redesigned Vertec-style vertical grip, a Picatinny accessory rail, and removable front and rear sights. It also comes with a threaded barrel for use with suppressors right out of the box.
Is the Beretta M9A3 a double-action or single-action pistol?
The Beretta M9A3 utilizes a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) operating mechanism. This means the first trigger pull is longer and heavier to cock the hammer, while subsequent shots have a shorter, lighter single-action pull.
Does the Beretta M9A3 accept standard 92FS magazines?
Yes, the Beretta M9A3 is fully compatible with standard 15-round and higher capacity Beretta 92FS and M9 magazines. However, it ships from the factory with three 17-round sand-colored magazines.
What type of finish is applied to the Beretta M9A3?
Unlike the standard military M9, the M9A3 features a Bruniton non-reflective matte black finish. The pistol also comes with distinctive sand-colored grips to give it a modern tactical appearance.
