What were some of the commonly heard gripes? Since that time there has been, to be polite, an irrational fear response to the adoption of the weapon. The M9 is a double action, high capacity 9mm pistol that was developed specifically in response to a Department of Defense (DOD) RFP for a replacement of the M1911A1 pistol. I must admit it I was tired of the M9 pistol.

Hell, I had spent so much time carrying my issued M9 concealed I had developed sciatica in my right hip from the IWB carried M9 pressing on the nerve bundle! The combination of a leather IWB holster and the cramped seats of our vehicles had left me missing my shorter and lighter full sized Glocks. After spending the greater portion of two years shooting and carrying nothing but a M9, I was very willing to leave my personally owned 92F in the safe.

I had not spent any quality time with the Beretta since leaving the service in 2008 and since, I had spent most of my handgun training time with either my G17, G22, or for purely recreational shooting my K Frame Smith & Wesson revolvers. I wanted to make sure that they learned from my experience.

I had learned a few tips and tricks about the weapon and if I was going to teach others to use it. Due to the fact that the soldiers specifically would be using issued weapons it was imperative that I brush up on using the M9/92F pistol that I had also used while deployed. The class was a mix of ECRG/CQB pistol, AK Gun Fighting and knife work. Recently I had the opportunity to provide training for group of soldiers and contractors who are heading overseas.
