Beretta M9A4 Centurion Update

Talking about the additional accessories I’ve added to my A4. Trijicon auto-adjusting RMR 3.25 MOA, Gemtech Tundra 9, and a Surefire X300 U-B.

I’m on my way to make a purchase of the M9A4 for home defense and thanks to your small fingers now I feel much better on making a purchase lol. Great vids bro

I didn't know they did an A4 centurion, def want one

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

Yeah, they’re pretty sweet. I had a full size A3 that was a great shooter too. I just wanted something a bit smaller this go around!

[@TheJRich24]

Love your opinions and u make a lot of sense to me brotha. Subscribed 🤙🏽great stuff. Also to add I love that burnt bronze look on the new A4’s lowers. Reminds me of sigs emperor scorpion models.

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

Right on, man! Thank you for the support. Agree. The A3 slide and frame were kind of odd looking together I thought. Great 92 for sure, but……. unique color scheme. 🤔

[@jodylivengood4061]

I have almost the same Beretta setup. Except mine is a M9A1 and my Surefire is the Vampire model. But running the same suppressor. No optic on mine but i do have a lasermax guide rod. Thinner body of the Tundra allows the laser to clear. I did not like the booster on this gun. It was louder and since that barrel doesnt tilt downwards that crap came back directly into my face. So i tried it without the booster. Quieter and nothing coming back at me. There are a few loads that are advertised as being intended for suppression that were not cycling. But pretty much any 147gr JHP that were designed with the intention of bringing the benefits of the heavier bullet work great. As well as most FMJ of that weight. Because i dropped to a lower hammer spring weight i increased the recoil spring weight the amount i reduced. You can still find the Tundra. I would get a more moden suppressor. But ive seen them as low as $400. If thats the case get the Tundra because that is a smoking deal. They're not particularly big or heavy and from what ive seen anything heavier will probably require the booster. Pretty much any 45 can will. I also use it on a HK Sp5 full size. It makes a pretty good PCC suppressor without all that frong end weight. That gets old quick. Anyway i dont see a similar set up to mine often so i thought i would leave a Patrick Bateman toned comment with my experience using it.

I have the Centurion A4... One thing about it, if u ever wanted to attach a lanyard , you CAN. can't loose it

[@jamesh1625]

Great video. I hear you use the term “press check”. They aren’t necessary on 90 series berettas. The extractor on them acts as a chamber indicator which means if there is a round in the chamber, you will physically be able to feel it protruding outward. If there is not a round in the chamber, it will be recessed. You have a great set- up I’m envious you are able to get the force multipliers. Again, great video and I look forward to seeing the range video.

Vale la pena esta arma comparada con las modernas actuales?

[@alexrossi1438]

Hi, I have some advice to ask you. like you i have an M9A4 with X300U-B flashlight, and a red dot (surefire 4). our configuration is “identical”, which holster do you recommend to use? probably the same as yours. thank you in advance, I can't find anything on the internet

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

Hello! I actually don’t have a holster yet. I believe Safari makes a holster for an A3/A4 that accommodates the X300U-B. They’re pricey but worth the cost from what I hear. Hope that helps.

[@chrisvanness7586]

Do you need to have a Neilsen device when using a suppressor on M9A4?

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

No it’s not needed, because the 92 barrels don’t tilt when they cycle. However, both are of my cans are set up that way because I suppress and few different striker fired pistols that do tilt…. if my understanding of the Nielsen Device is correct.

[@eduardozamberlan]

good night, could you send me the link where you buy this mount for the RMR? I didn't find it for sale. I already have the weapon and the RMR, only the mount is missing. Thanks. I watch your video from Brazil

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

Thanks for watching my video all the way from Brazil! I posted the link in the description.

[@bretts7037]

man I'm on the fence. So many people have commented about the finish, burrs in the barrel, grittiness in the action etc with the Centurion model vs the full size. It's almost as if they are made in different facilities in different countries or something. I like the idea of a more compact model but with so many complaints about the Centurion's quality control it almost seems like it's more worth it to buy the full size. And the optics mounting options are a joke. This gun is NOT made for optics. It's just a beretta with a super weird cutout option for desperados.

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

Yeah the RDO plates/systems are a bit funky for sure. I’ve owned an A3 and the slide was as smooth as butter. I haven’t noticed that much of a difference with my Centurion and honestly the length between the two is 5.1 vs 4.8 with the threaded barrel. Someone else asked it I could tell a ‘noticeable’ difference. I really can’t but maybe that’s just me. Definitely compare them both side by side if you’re given the opportunity, bro.

[@christinaabundiz1888]

The fullsoze shoots so mice smooth and that's what I heard that's these guns were coming out bad but mine came out beautiful no burrs all smooth no dents or anything idk maybe I got lucky but mime is a buety and I luv it

[@SenorGato237]

FWIW the finish on mine is excellent.

[@nycupperes]

Unless you’re mounting Sig RomeoZero’s you will have a bit more height. The Trijicon is superior, so good choice. I generally swap out plastic guide rods for stainless or titanium.

[@gemstategrubbinngunnin4800]

I agree. I love Trijicon products. I haven’t looked recently but i wasn’t able to find a stainless one a few months back.

RDO mounting plate. Just make sure you get the right one for whatever optic you’re going to run.

No I haven’t. The plate was only $35, if it didn’t/doesn’t come then….. whatever I guess. Someone commented that they’ve been waiting for 3 months now. I didn’t realize that there was a code for FDE mags too?
