Beretta USA Relaunches the M9A1 Pistol

Beretta USA has reintroduced the M9A1 9mm pistol to the U.S. commercial market. The M9A1, a stalwart of U.S. military service and a familiar platform to shooters around the world, is once again available to American buyers. The M9A1 keeps the practical, duty-focused features that made it a go-to service pistol: a beveled magazine well for faster reloads, user-selectable 10- or 15-round magazines, and classic 3-dot sights. Built on decades of military development, it prioritizes durability and straightforward, battle-proven performance rather than gimmicks.

“The M9A1 has proven itself as a sidearm that can be relied upon in the most demanding environments,” said Broxton Carlile, Beretta USA Pistol Product Manager. “We’re excited to make it available again to those who want a true piece of military history paired with the reliability of Beretta engineering.”

The Beretta M9A1 features:

• Ambidextrous Slide Safety and Decocker – Dual controls provide versatile handling and added confidence under stress.
• Short Reset Trigger Bar – Reduces trigger travel for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
• Front and Backstrap Checkering – Ensures a secure, non-slip grip for maximum control in any conditions.
• Frame-Mounted MIL-STD-1913 Rail – Allows for seamless integration of tactical lights and lasers for mission-ready adaptability.

Each pistol ships with two magazines. The M9A1 is available now through authorized Beretta dealers across the country, with an MSRP of $829. Beretta is also offering a California-compliant version with a 10-round magazine. For those who live in other places, let’s remind you that it’s possible to get a Beretta 92FS magazine, which holds 30 rounds of 9mm.
