Beretta M9A3 Review and Cleaning

My review of the Beretta M9A3 as well as my cleaning method.

[@anraegodley-cooper6321]

I purchased the black M9A3 last year and it's the perfect Beretta in my eyes and I've owned several.

[@morriszachrisson8359]

92FS has the most beautiful shapes. M9A3 is just more ergonomic.

[@mosaicmonk4380]

This is the most beautiful hand gun I ever seen. I mean just so elegant very attractive. I wanna ccw this bad boy. Great video broski

[@CP-kb1du]

Obviously you have not seen the GLOCK 19X ...SIG SAUER M17 ,,,

[@mosaicmonk4380]

@@CP-kb1du lol im a glock fanboy i love glock but bro this gun is magical. sigs are ugly ass guns.

[@dogcatcherteufel6631]

I would purchase it because it's not plastic (Glock) or striker fired. Love it....no questions

[@f8-ucmdr358]

nicely presented!!! As a new owner of the M9A3 i was pleased with all the info. Thanx for sharing!

[@barbarakyser8911]

Thanks for the information as a new 9MA3 owner I found this helpful!

[@range-randy8148]

Good job on cleaning your gun. I've watched a lot of gun cleaning videos and finally someone who knows how to really clean a pistol correctly.

[@rockthewatch]

I love my M9A3 it is awesome. I also have an M9 and an M9A1 and a 96. Love the Berettas man. I ROCK my Berettas all the time man.

[@kev910]

YOU'RE PUTTING THE THREAD PROTECTOR ON BACKWARDS!!!!! I did the same thing haha

[@Isaihernandez777]

Ouch! My ears! Why are you yelling?

[@stevenvu3733]

Nice video. Just got this baby today. Thanks.

[@justinwells6795]

Thanks for the review, videos are holding me over til my dealer can get a black M9A3 type G. As of Wednesday they could not locate that particular model. Can’t wait!

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

No problem. We’ve all been there,

[@derekpierce1894]

Justin Wells I just ordered a standard black m9a3 from gunsmidwest for $852 shipped. And a G Conversion kit (same kit that comes on the gun). You'll have to preorder from beretta or another distributor and wait god knows how long on the G version.

[@RepublicofTX]

Justin Wells you find one yet? I just bought a type G online last night for $749.00

[@carrickgames]

Takedown starts around 14:05

[@tom_olofsson]

I like that you are keeping it real. My cleaning mat is an old towel too.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Lol!! It does the trick.

[@valeo29]

Can't wait for mine to get here..just scored one NIB for $735 on GB.

[@MrIdasam]

$735, damn bro., lucky you.

[@RepublicofTX]

valeo29 yep, I just bought the type G last night for $749.00 total

[@RepublicofTX]

Just bought one yesterday for 749.00. Can’t wait to get it!!

[@Anthony-zx5dy]

Ahh texas prices.. Is yours a 10 or 17 mag? I ask because up here in Maine it cost me 999 with the 17 rd mags.

[@RepublicofTX]

the truth they had a deal going, it came with 3 17 round mags and 1- 20 rounder made by beretta. I just got my holster in for it today too, time to go really break it in. I’ve only shot it a few times in my backyard.

[@Bolonysandwich78766]

Loved your video! I learned a few good things! Thank you

[@domthesealer4012]

great video this will be the first pistal i will be buying in Australia for $2000 . well explained & easy step by step how to clean & what to greas up WELL DONE 👍🏼

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Thank you! Australia is on my bucket list. One day I will dive the Great Barrier Reef.

[@anti_pro6903]

Me too, have one on order, got it for 1950 from Melbourne.

[@MrDucatiV4]

Great video! Any long term update?

[@douglasfrazier811]

good job, always a good idea to see how someone else does it

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Thanks! Ya I always like to see other methods.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Still love mine

[@Mr1989stang]

I love the Beretta m9 platform ie the 96 and 92. Just wish it was in 45 acp

[@usptact]

Great review and very detailed cleaning! Thanks! Would be great if you could put in description to products you used during cleaning.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

I use Balistol to clean and lube internals. I use Slide Glide for the rails and friction points. I understand some are not a fan of grease but I don’t have to deal with the freezing issue.

[@mikekostecki2267]

In place of the grease, you might want to look at Gun Butter. It made a big difference when I put it on the slide and other places that get shiny on my Springfield Armory XD9 Mod 2. First-time viewer and I've become a subscriber after this video. Looking forward to more from you.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

[@MrStroller4u]

Im about to buy a black M9A3 and build 2 two tones.

[@easykimpin8461]

Awesome 👍

[@Don_Frahn]

i know this an older video but my local shop has one of these I've been debating on snagging. how has the finish held up over time? I've heard these FDE version wear very quickly.

[@Johnny-nb7eg]

I like the smell of Ballistol :-)

[@derekpierce1894]

Ernest Langdon also released the Elite LTT. Which is an m9a1 frame and a vertec slide. So, has an accessory rail with a dovetail front sight. Along with some other special features. But that runs $999.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

I’ve seen that one and am definitely interested but the price is a little scary. Hopefully, they will be had for a bit less.

[@derekpierce1894]

2ndjourneyfirearms yeah it is steep. And then for an additional $150 or so, you get the Langdon trigger job. Which I've heard is second to none on the 92 platform.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Good point.

[@jn3750]

Probably the most reliable pistol on earth: MRBF 20,000+ rounds. Not even the Glocks have those proven numbers.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

They are reliable as they come.

[@ZERO_42069]

In 1980 when glock sent his Glock 17 for the military trials it ran though 15,000 rounds with no issues, one guy did a 18 year test and ran 250,000 rounds over those 18 years and the gun still functions flawlessly

[@jeffreyelliott622]

You don't use white patches thru your barrel to actually see that it gets visually clean ? But good video of a thorough cleaning minus patches !!!! Now I wanna get the Inox version and they're not cheap by no means !!!!

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

I do every so often. However, most of my guns don’t sit idle long at all so I typically run the snake then look through the barrel. The inox is sweet.

[@231mac]

Meh, who cares. Just ram a bore brush, or snake, through the barrel a few times and take a quick peak. Even with the dirtiest ammo (excluding solid lead) that's all its ever taken. Let's put it into perspective: it's a barrel, not a surgical devise that requires sterilization.

[@hoppahaole3155]

I buy the 50 count painter clothes from Lowes, they are all the same size. Cut up makes good patches.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

I actually buy the same thing. Perfect for cleaning.

[@fnfal308Rhino]

Im a beretta fanatic love it i have a beretta 92f and it runs superb. Is this m9a3 as good of quality or better would you trust this with your life?

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

It’s as good as any other Beretta, meaning, outstanding. I would definitely trust my life to it.

[@ahmetgurkan3679]

Improved at anything.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Ahmet Gürkan trigger, ergos, removable night sights. Those are the main things.

[@damirjalali]

Thx for the video. What's the Trigger measurement please?

[@NasirNasir-xi4pw]

Wow...i like it

[@barefootbob1269]

The LTT does have a rail and dovetailed front sight. He uses a M9A1 frame. It also has some sweet radiusing around the trigger guard and at the rear corners of the slide. Sorry just saw this info from another poster. Also I went to gunbroker and started to bid on them. After trying on a few I was able to score on one for $660 and yes these are new firearms.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Damn good price. It’s an interesting one for sure. However, like most other people now, I’m waiting for the 92x.......it will be mine!

[@barefootbob1269]

@@2ndjourneyfirearms878 Ya the MSRP $1399 scares me off. But still looks like it will be a winner.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

It’s a Beretta so I’m sure it will be. My eye has shifter to the 92x.

[@johnmead9012]

italian guns, cars, and women. Doesn't get much funner than that

[@falsafaz11]

Damn, thats style

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Ain’t that the truth.

[@raphaelroadglide]

Color? Green?

[@lukaszimmermann2215]

Ballistol is awesome. You can even put it on salad and eat it but be warned, it tasted even worse than it smells.

[@ra_mass4184]

💯

[@worstcasescenarioch]

You get used to the smell of Ballistol, trust me. It's not that bad compared to other products.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

I’m trying but no luck yet lol

[@shotgunmessiah9063]

I really want that black model of the M9A3 to be my first gun here in Canada. Unfortunately the price tag is over $1,600 with taxes. My girl is going to beat the shit outta me for it but I think it's worth.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

1,600? Yikes! Good luck with that conversation.

[@fearandloathing4711]

Wow! Great weapon. I ordered it today. The M9A3 costs 1600.00 € here in Germany and the delivery time here is about 2-3 months. I'm really looking forward to the gun. Best regards from Dortmund / Germany ✌🏻

[@phillipd33znuts]

I want an M9A3 so bad but can’t bring myself to spending almost $1,000 on a gun when I could get 2 Glocks for that.

[@malokk5773]

Or 4, maybe 5 Hi-Points.

[@231mac]

Dude, I just bought a black type G for $770 on Gun Prime. If you're really cheap, you can get it for $740 with 10 rounders, lol.

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Understand. There is something for everyone, that’s for sure.

[@mitchm9368]

Try a Girsan Regard. It's a very well made pistol for almost half the cost of a 92, everything is swappable between it and the 92 except the barrel. The fit and finish is top notch too

[@FuZe.]

@@mitchm9368 Me personally I would stick with Beretta, also buying used is an option

will my 15 rd 92fs mags work in this pistol

Yes they will

[@BigBoss-kn1yx]

Cost? I want to buy one from Sportsmans.I'm from Panamá 🇵🇦

[@MrIdasam]

Anywhere from about $800 - $1000.

[@HeavyMental1000]

Mistake the military is making going to the Sig. Beretta reliability proven in combat, more ergonomic, longer sight radius and all for a lower price.

[@CIA_Is_aTerrorist_Orginization]

hey just wanted to let you know that balistol shouldn't be sprayed indoors where you can breathe in the fumes. too many unknown long term effects from doing so

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Oh I know. Smells like hell and I VERY rarely use inside. Just for the video.

[@mosaicmonk4380]

Subbed

[@2ndjourneyfirearms878]

Saw your question in my notifications but not here....strange. To answer, I don’t carry it as I prefer smaller carry guns but plenty of people do. Everyone is a little different. I have carried the 92 compact and that one was pretty good. Maybe one day they will do a M9A3 Compact.

[@mosaicmonk4380]

2ndjourneyfirearms a compact m9a3 would be super dope!!! Thx

[@brysonw1815]

Beretta would be great if the grips weren’t god damn massive

[@tubalcain6052]

Capable of firing with magazine removed. Read manual before use! No, thanks.
