"After the initial bugs were worked out, the M9 pistol developed into a reliable combat proven weapon. Most current/former military personnel that I have been privileged to speak with while researching this article have stated a general satisfaction with the weapon’s reliability while citing the concerns about the size, weight and caliber that I have mentioned already. It has saved the lives of soldiers, law enforcement officers and civilians alike over the years. It remains today an accurate and reliable weapon suitable for personal defense. Few military sidearms have proven themselves to be as good a weapon as the M9 has turned out to be, despite the gun shop gossip to the contrary.
It remains worthy of our consideration when choosing a weapon. "

Re: Baretta 92fs
The M&P has a TERRIBLE trigger. I would own a Beretta in a heartbeat! IMO, the Beretta is one of the better traditional semi-auto's there are.cxm wrote:I have a Beretta 92... and I am EXTREMELY underwealmed by it in every respect....
Given that you can buy a new S&W M&P in either 9mm or .40 fro $419, with a lifetime warranty I can't see why anyone would buy a Beretta in either cal.
It isn't a bad price if you want a Beretta... but if you are just looking for a 9mm there are a lot of better options.
FWIW

That seemed like a great price. I don't need one, but I thought someone might.
I am thinking about going back for the Ruger P97DC for $318 though...
