Since its adoption by the US Army 101 years ago, nobody has been able to improve John Browning's basic design...The only reason they went to the M9 was to match the ammo of their NATO allies...I said from the beginning of the argument that the rest of the world needed to step up to a real cartridge......BenSome reports suggest Marines are not happy with their main Beretta M9s for their lack of accuracy and stopping power.

A Mil-Spec gun should be expected to function properly right out of the box...But for $1875.00 a copy, it better...But I also don't know any Marine that would strap one to his hip and jump into battle without putting that many rounds (or more) through it first......Ben
