The better the quality of a firearm, the greater the potential. Beretta has always sought to see firearms reach their full potential which is why in 1985 the U.S. adopted the Beretta 92FS – Renamed the M9 and modified with less safety features – as the military’s standard service pistol. The Beretta 92FS is still used to this day by many countries as their standard military sidearm and the M9 kept its status as the U.S. military’s standard service pistol till recently in 2017 when it was replaced by the SIG P320, a worthy successor which is only a testament to the M9 success over the years.
