"What is better 9mm or 45acp?" Oh my friend you just started a flame war.

[@professionalmemeenthusiast2117]

Bigpapaj 1971 In all seriousness, the 5.7mm is better. Even lower recoil than 9mm, size allows for high capacity magazines, high velocity and better performance against body armour than 9mm or 45 ACP.

A SIG in .40 s&w, so you can covert easily to .357 sig. Two amazing rounds that each are superior to the .45ACP and the 9mmp

I know this joke refer to the world wars, but actually Italian army is the ninth strongest army in the world and, Beretta is one of the most productive gun brands in the world. Our army is divided in 4 major groups that you may have already heard about: 1) 9° reggimento d'assalto paracadutisti "col moschin" (or maybe you've heard Folgore) 2) Gruppo Operativo Incursori 3) 17° Stormo Incursori 4) Gruppo intervento speciale Folgore is really well known in Europe, its name literally mean thunderbolt and as you can imagine they're a paratrooper group.

I think what he meant was that the pistol started showing its age according to the chain of command in the US Army. They thought the pistol was no longer useful. But after the 1911 was replaced, it became more popular than ever in the civilian market which kept its stride going.

[@twotailedavenger]

I think it's funny, the story of some weapons in US inventory. The FN Mag machine gun got beaten by the M60, but then came back to replace it. Sig Sauer lost to Beretta in the 80s, but just recently, a variant of the 226 was chosen to replace the M9. Well, I guess if at first you don't succeed...

[@lewhanwen4302]

And now Sig has both pistol contracts.

[@CountArtha]

The P320 has little relationship to the P226. It's based on the P250 and it has a striker instead of a hammer, like a Glock.

[@ElMassimoFromItaly]

If you think about it, even the M16 had a similar story. After the Korean War, the M14 was chosen instead of the ar10, the prototype of what later became the ar15(the M16 and later the M4), but the US Army quickly realized how poorly the M14 was performing in the jungles of Vietnam. So that's why they replaced their main battle rifle again, and this time the ar10 won.

[@mutilator97]

The p320 isn't a variant of the 226. It's a completely different gun. Striker fired, polymer frame, made to be as modular as possible, NOT DROP SAFE. Wait, what?

[@Predator20357]

The other reason Berettas are so popular in movies (besides the sexy shape and large frame) is because they are easier to convert to fire blanks: The action of the pistol uses a falling block instead of a tilting barrel, so you can modify the barrel to fire blanks with perfect semi-automatic reliability.

Being a proud owner of a 92, I can tell you that these guns are fantastic. I got the 92S, which was an Italian police de-com, but even without the changes made to the FS, it's solid to its core. Shoots the worst steel cased ammo all day long and its accurate til it dies. If you get a used 92S you'll only have to spend about $350 at the highest (as of the time of writing this) and there is basically no better deal out there as far as price/quality.

[@camryt]

Why are CoD's M9's always so little and thin?

[@j4ff4c3ks1]

It is a narrow pistol in reality as well. The wider pistols tend to be chambered for the .45 as it requires a larger barrel

[@LIGHTNING278TH]

***** Compared to other 9mm pistols its pretty thick.

[@smittywjmj]

CoD has issues with weapon scaling. First-person pistol models are usually much too small (that, or the player character has hands the size of frying pans) and third-person rifle models somewhat on the small side as well, particularly for medium-size assault rifles.

[@trb9]

***** Common misconception! When you get one in your hands, they actually feel pretty beefy.

Well here in the US, the reason why the M9 was hated was due to the military using mags that didn’t have a finish for sand resistance, not cleaning the gun, & also not maintaining the gun.

I have to admit, the M9 or Beretta 92 is one of the many classic pistols known to the world, both in movies, gaming, and reality. I remember me, my brothers, my father, and my cousins tried out the M9 since one of them had it as a sidearm in the police force after dove hunting. We saw these empty beer bottles, so we decided to use them as target practice. Finally, I got to try out the pistol and...man it had a lot of recoil. I was definitely astounded how much power the M9 has in real life instead of in gaming.

[@ChrisHenGaming]

Thats with every weapon, you cant make out how a weapon is out of games.

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

[@LegionEmu396]

Well its only a 9mm it shouldn't have too much kick but every gun is different and also I've never shot a m9 maybe its different than most other 9mm

[@xXTheHeroicGamerXx]

Well, I think the reason why I thought the M9 had so much recoil is the fact I was fourteen-years old at the time I tried out the pistol. So, basically, I wasn't as sturdy as an usual-sized adult.

While I think the switch from .45 to 9mm wasn't a bad thing, the M9 as the particular choice for a sidearm did irk me a little. In a normal urban environment, it'd work fine, but in very dusty environments, the open top slide really could prove a problem. I love the M9, don't get me wrong, it's just that I believe a 9mm Glock or even a 9mm 1911 would've made the difference

[@gassedjohansen2478]

9mm is a tier higher is terms of penetration too. There's a reason why there's no such thing as a true .45 Armor Piercing cartridge while there's many for the 9mm. .45 is too fat and it's effective range way too short.

Surprised not to see Metal Gear on here, as the M9 is one of the better options for Snake and Raiden in the MGS games.

[@twotailedavenger]

Kojima's always been a bigger fan of the .45, hence why the M9 was relegated to nonlethal duty in MGS2.

What an incredible little handgun. I own one myself, smooth trigger pull, easy to field strip and clean, accurate, fun to shoot all around, although I love all my .45s, I love this gun.

[@jeffneinenstein5923]

In 2017, the US chose the SIG-Sauer P320, designated as the M17 (full size) and M18 (compact version), to replace the M9. It has a higher capacity (17 or 21 instead of 15 or 17), better accuracy, and better ergonomics. The Army plans to have all of its units equipped with the P320 within a decade. Here’s a Wikipedia link for the P320: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_P320, and here’s one for the M17/M18: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_M17.

Like a "Top Gear" but for guns

[@five5105]

God, these videos are always masterfully made.

[@trashymacgarbage]

The Beretta M1938 ( 1:10 ) is also know as the Orso which is Italian for bear. Thought I'd just point that out.

[@mooneyes2k478]

"Wonder Nine", term coined by firearms author Robert T. Shimek, for those that don't know, and including the aforementioned guns, as well as the MAB PA-15, Heckler & Koch VP70, Smith & Wesson Model 59, and Steyr GB. Loss in stopping power? Yeah...basic physics is not something that the .45ACP proponents care much about. And, the guns carried by Tequila, among others, in Hard Boiled, are almost to a scene Taurus PT92s, though the boat scene does feature a Beretta.

[@mistaksweremade]

+MoonEyes2k PT-92's are literally Beretta 92's, made on Beretta machines, with Taurus markings and cheaper materials. Bit unfortunate really. It isn't really worth noting, or worth skipping given the influence of John Woo's films.

[@mooneyes2k478]

MistakswereMade Well, the Taurus guns are based on the 92, but has been modified. In the beginning, though, they were extremely similar, yes.

[@mistaksweremade]

***** The PT92's in Hard Boiled are literal M92's made on Beretta machines. The machines were just Taurus branded when Beretta ended their contract with the Brazilian government.

[@sebastianlee7571]

The final line in all of these videos are always the best. "No showing off, just showing up, and getting the job done"

[@minidiamantl5462]

For some reason, since I first started seeing the beretta 92, I understood the concept of liking guns and having a favorite one. (I've never seen one in real though)

[@benjamindanielsen5204]

I personally don't like the open slide design on the 92, as US military experience has shown, it easily allows dust and other debris to jam the action, and I'm also not a fan of the slide mounted safety, it makes it very easy to accidentally actuate it while chambering a round. I still think we should have adopted the P226, it's overall a much better better pistol with a very proven track record with the Navy seals, and another advantage is that it's also available in multiple other calibers such as .40 S&W and .357 Sig.

[@Kat-nd5fq]

the full package of the M9 was cheaper overall, though, so they went for it 'cause muh capitalism

[@JoMiMi_h]

@Master Rhan107 too late the p320 is replacing the m9

[@mutilator97]

The open slide design actually doesn't provide for a whole lot of issues, actually. Watch MAC's torture test. The gun did pretty damn well. As for actuating the safety during manipulation, yeah. Beretta knew about that issue 30 years ago, and fixed it on the civilian models. The military models, however, were apparently never supposed to get updates like that(don't ask why, I don't know). Personally, if I were to get a 9mm full size pistol, it would probably be a toss up between the beretta m9a3 and the Sig P226(take that as you will for quality of both). However, I'm a .45 guy. So I go for the FN FNX-45. And a 1911 of course.

[@tedcruzwiththetopdown5411]

The 92 is still a viable choice for a carry/duty gun. They're well made, reliable, and they shoot well. I have a Beretta 92X Performance. Best gun I've ever owned.

[@schizoidboy]

I think the best publicity the Beretta 92 ever got was from the Lethal Weapon movies, where Mel Gibson's character carries one and uses it bringing down the bad guys. It's even mentioned in the Osprey booklet on the Beretta 92.

[@fiduong5605]

John McClain 's pistol from Die Hard was also a Berreta 92

[@SuperSaltyFries]

1911 isn't outdated at all. Special forces like SEALS prefer it over 9mm. Look it up.

[@scribejackhammar]

If I got stuck in a post-apoc event, I'd prefer the M1911A1 over the M9.

[@Evilhalfdead]

Jack Hammar Especially when it comes to maintenance. I'm a gunsmith, so I deal with both quite often. The 1911 is nice and simple to take down to the bare slide and frame. The M9 is a spring-filled nightmare. Most times I take it apart inside a ziploc bag so none of the springs jump away into oblivion, which they have a habit of trying to do.

[@scribejackhammar]

Evilhalfdead so the M9's a military grade Slinky?

[@Evilhalfdead]

Jack Hammar I suppose. Throwing it down the stairs would have a similar result. You'd have your hopes up, but it will end in tears.

[@breeki9985]

SuperSaltyFries They like the .45, but they use updated platforms like the TAC45. correct me if I'm wrong.
