[9mmfan]

Which new Beretta are you calling junk? How can they be called junk if the Army just sign a new contact for over 25,000 new M9's? The contract runs till atleast 2010. It has been in use by the US Army sence 1985. I own three Beretta's, the 92FS, the Beretta 9000S and the Neos .22 and I have shot thousands of rounds through each without one malfunction. They have been the most reliable handguns I have ever own.......and 168,000 rounds without a single malfunction test under Army supervision speaks for it's self. No other hand gun can touch that record. I know that Glock and SIG makes good handguns also, but calling the Beretta 92FS junk is crazy. The proof is in writing:


"The Ultimate Pistol.
Each Beretta 92FS must pass a battery of more then 3,000 quality control check and measure that includes complete interchangeability of parts before leaving the factory... and proven in the field in countless defensive confrontations, the 92FS is in all respects the “ultimate”.

A legendary Firearm.
The most tested and trusted personal defense weapon in history. The 92FS, designated M9 by the U.S. Military, not only meets or exceeds all U.S. Military testing guidelines, it totally rewrites them.

Precise, Safe, Reliable.
92 Series Pistols are semi-automatics and operate on the short recoil, delayed locking block system, which yields a faster cycle time and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability.
Each features a lightweight, forged frame made form aircraft-quality aluminum alloy, with a open top frame which makes jamming almost impossible.
On FS models, the manual safety also functions as a decocking lever.
