Beretta USA has announced the return of the legendary Beretta M9A1 9 mm pistol to the U.S. market. After years of proven service with the U.S. Armed Forces and trusted use worldwide, the M9A1 is once again available to American shooters.

Forged in combat and relied upon by generations of service members, the M9A1 delivers the same battle-tested reliability and performance that earned its place as a modern classic. Built on decades of military heritage, the M9A1 combines duty-grade durability with features designed for real-world use:

  • 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.

“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.”

Available with a choice of 10- or 15-round magazines, and classic 3-dot sights, the M9A1 9 mm pistol ships with two magazines and is available now at authorized Beretta dealers nationwide at an MSRP of $829. A California Compliant model is also available.
