The
M9 is a lightweight, semiautomatic pistol manufactured by Beretta
and designed to replace the M1911A1 .45 caliber pistol and .38
caliber revolvers. The M9 has redundant automatic safety features
to help prevent unintentional discharges. It can be fired in
either double or single action mode and can be unloaded without
activating the trigger while the safety is in the "on"
position. The M9 pistol has a 15-round magazine, and may be fired
without a magazine inserted. This weapon can have the hammer
lowered from the cocked, "ready to fire," position to
the uncocked position without activating the trigger by placing
the thumb safety on the "on" position.
