BerettaA(R) M9 CA Compliant 9mm Semi-automatic Pistol The legendary BerettaA(R) 92 not only won the historic contract with the US military in 1985, but a contract renewal after more than two decades of hard use in the world's toughest and most extreme conditionsa |from the scorching deserts of Iraq to the frigid heights of the Afghan mountains. A contract renewal after this kind of use and abuse means the gun kept its promises-and then some. Simply put, there is no pistol today that is as durable, reliable, dependable, easy to use, safe and accurate as the Beretta M9, the handgun that has rightfully earned the nickname of "World Defender."
