ACME North has a new in the box Beretta commercial version M9 semi-auto pistol with three 15 round magazines in 9 mm. 

At first glance this appears to be a faithful rendition and copy of the Beretta M9 as issued to the U.S. military. However on closer inspection it is quickly revealed that it is a economy version of the M9 pistol. This pistol takes shortcuts and substitutes plastic parts for items that are actually steel on the original issued pistol. Unfortunately these include some fairly significant and important parts such as a plastic trigger, plastic guide rod, plastic main spring plug, plastic safety lever, plastic mag release and incorrect grip screws. The applied military type markings are incorrect as well. The issued Beretta M9 is a full-size service pistol with a 4.9-inch chrome lined barrel design to reduce wear and protect it from corrosion. The pistol is equipped with a non-replaceable front sight, a non-radiused dust cover and backstrap, open top slide and two stage firing pin. While the slide is incredibly smooth the downside is a trigger that is far from being smooth as it actually feels fairly stiff when firing in the double action mode. For some a heavy double action trigger pull is a dealbreaker, particulary for females and those with weak hands. However when one stops considered the Beretta M9 was originally designed as a military police pistol you start to appreciate the liability concerns and requirements for the first shot to be deliberate and intentional. The pistol is finished in what is identified as a Mil-Spec, Beretta patented Bruniton finish which is actually Teflon over parkerised finish. While the pistol attempts to mimic its military issue cousin it does have a number of shortcomings the new owner needs to be aware of.
