Duration: 42:30

This comprehensive 6,000-round review of the Beretta M9A4 challenges common misconceptions about the platform. The instructor highlights its surprisingly flat shooting characteristics due to its weight distribution, superior trigger compared to stock Glocks, and potential for customization. He argues that despite its price, the M9A4 offers significant value and performance, rivaling or surpassing many popular 1911s and Glocks in its stock configuration.

Quick Summary

The Beretta M9A4 achieves remarkably flat shooting due to its weight distribution. Its heavier frame and optimized slide design create a quick rearward recoil impulse followed by a significantly flatter return impulse, minimizing muzzle rise. This, combined with its superior trigger compared to stock Glocks, makes it a high-performing option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Beretta M9A4 shoot so flat?

The M9A4's flat shooting is attributed to its weight distribution. Its significantly heavier frame (12.2 oz) compared to polymer frames, combined with a slide that has material removed from the top, results in a quick rearward recoil but a much flatter return impulse, minimizing muzzle rise.

How does the Beretta M9A4 trigger compare to a Glock trigger?

The M9A4's double-action trigger is smoother with less weight stacking than stock Glock triggers. Its single-action trigger offers a shorter reset and less dead space. The instructor finds the M9A4's trigger easier to learn and teach than a stock Glock trigger.

Is the Beretta M9A4 expensive for its performance?

While the M9A4 has a higher initial cost, its performance in stock configuration, particularly its flat shooting and trigger quality, rivals or surpasses many modified Glocks and 1911s that require significant aftermarket investment. The instructor argues it offers excellent value for its price.

What are the main advantages of the Beretta M9A4's threaded barrel?

The threaded barrel on the M9A4 makes it an excellent suppressor host. More practically, it allows for the effective use of compensators or ports, which significantly reduces muzzle rise and recoil, contributing to the pistol's exceptionally flat shooting characteristics.
