The Beretta M9/Model 92FS 9mm pistol is the most reliable and safest semiautomatic pistol ever made. Since its introduction in 1985, the M9 has served America's armed forces on far-flung battlefronts throughout the world. Countless soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have stood guard to preserve the nation's freedom, protected by the M9's accuracy and firepower.
