Duration: 7:04

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.
