Humans always gravitate to the familiar.

Oddly, I have never pined for the ol’ jam-master M-16A1...the stuff of nightmares.

We should have stayed with the 1911.

When You absolutely must reach out and THUMP someone .45ACP Rules.

Anyone who misses the M9 has never used it beyond a square clean range. The design is terrible for combat, particularly in a dirty dry environment. The open slide is a dirt magnet. The external hammer is a dirt magnet. Both quickly lead to dry gun and dry gun malfunctions. The single action/double action operation from a holster is slow compared to striker fired. The slide has edges and corners that can pinch or cut fingers/hands when dealing with stoppages.

I have one. I have trained with one. I would never carry one by choice. Would take any striker fired or 1911 over the Beretta any day.

When I see a M9 Beretta I see a Walter P-38 , LOL never fired the Beretta but I do have a P-38

I'm comfortable with the M1911 thank you. I tried a Baretta once and found that I was not able to be as precise in my shooting as I was with a M1911. I have one 9mm and its a S&W M59. As far as a rifle I'm also more comfortable with the M1-A1 than the AR15 platform. If I were to go with the AR15 platform I'd have to purchase one made for lefty shooters.

My Glocks never had a single malfunction in 20 years.

I rented quite a few pistols at my gun range before I bought the one I wanted. I don’t think any of them were cleaned after be rented. Every Beretta I rented either tended to jam or was not operating smoothly. The IWF pistols I rented operated very smoothly. On my last job consulting concerning the development of IED jammers I asked the senior military officer I worked with how they liked the Beretta and his response was really negative,
