This review highlights five key drawbacks of the Beretta 92/M9 series. Issues include the slide-mounted safety's potential for accidental engagement, the open-top slide design's susceptibility to debris, limited slide manipulation surface area, challenges with mounting optics, and a large grip size that can hinder smaller-handed shooters. While modern versions address some durability concerns, these design elements remain points of contention for users.

This review covers the Beretta M9, highlighting its classic design and recent military transition. The host discusses its $450 purchase price, aftermarket grip upgrades, and compares its DA/SA trigger to other renowned pistols. Accuracy at 50 yards is noted as very good, with appreciation for the 'i-dot' sights, though the slide-mounted safety is flagged as a potential design flaw.

The MAC 1950, France's former service pistol, is tested in a tactical shooting competition. Key issues include a safety mechanism that blocks the hammer but not the trigger, and potential 'hammer bite' with modern grips. Its 9-round capacity is a disadvantage in current competitions, and while adequate for its era, it's surpassed by modern alternatives like the Beretta 92.
