This review of the Beretta M9A3 highlights its 2016 release and significant improvements over the original M9. Key enhancements include a slimmer grip with improved texturing, a three-slot Picatinny rail, an oversized magazine release, and titanium night sights. The M9A3 features a 5.2-inch threaded barrel, a beveled mag well for faster reloads, and a 'G-mode' decocker for user preference. The reviewer notes a single-action trigger pull of 4.5 pounds and a smooth double-action pull, attributing some of this to a lightened D-spring.
Ken Hackathorn, a founding member of IDPA, discusses legal modifications for the Beretta 92 in IDPA Stock Service division. The focus is on enhancing shootability without turning it into an equipment race. Allowed modifications include enhanced sights (like Wilson Combat Battle Sights with tritium or fiber optic fronts), action/trigger jobs for improved double and single-action pulls, and factory-issue parts like extended magazine catches and G-series decocker conversions. The Beretta M9A1 is highlighted as a good base with features like a checkered front/back strap and beveled mag well, all contributing to an IDPA-legal, practical competition pistol.
