#BERETTA M9 REVIEW SERIES#
Its worth noting that to most people, Aside from the markings, This will pass off as a civilian 92 Series pistol ( The M9 being very slightly different from the commercial 92FS in only the “Snowman” sight arrangement and a straight lower frame (Referred to as a dust cover) below the slide as opposed to the flared design of the 92 series) The trades are consistent with the real M9, a subtle and not unexpected addition of the ASGK and Tokyo Marui markings don’t detract from the realistic look. This being a combat pistol there are a number of other small things that you’ll see on this, An enlarged trigger guard for cold weather operations, a wide grip to accommodate a then unusually large 15 round capacity magazine and a straightened front on the trigger guard to be used by the supporting hand. The sights are fixed within the slide as per a real M9, The sights themselves being a “Snowman” type configuration (Bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase “Do you want to build a snowman”) as opposed to the 3 dot layout of the civilian model.

#BERETTA M9 REVIEW FULL#
I’ll 1v1 any other manufacturers pistol against an out the box Marui with full confidence in the plastic Japanese gun. I’ve had very weighty sidearms, and nice holster fillers they were to… but for the most part they were unable to be consistently drawn and used in anger without letting me down. As I’ve often stated, I’ll gladly sacrifice a little realism for a lot more reliability. I often bump against people who say “Marui are shit, they feel like toys and I prefer (Insert generic brand) because it feels real!” Now I hate to shit on anyone’s chips, But the vast majority of Airsoft weapons do not feel like a real firearm, even if they’re made from that cheap Zamak shit people pass off as Aluminium. There’s a real heft to the weight of the pistol… A real positive when Marui pistols being plastic throughout the frame and slide can sometimes feel a little light in the hand. The overall finish is superb, The barrel has an almost rough texture and the frame feels subtly different to the slide, They also have a slightly different look as well which adds to the realism as the real Beretta slide is coated in Bruniton (A baked on corrosion resistant finish akin to Cerakote), which looks different to the blued finish the rest of the firearm is treated with.

If rails are your flavour, pick up the equally great M9A1… They’re virtually the same design internally. However this is a little special, And its without a doubt the one to buy if your in the market for a classic 92FS/M9 design. It wasn’t shouted about by the retailers and the players, It was seen by many as an unnecessary release given the sheer amount of GBB Berettas that TM do, And their great performance if paired with. Yes, it’s been a long time coming but Marui revamped their iconic pistol and made it into a nail driver.

The exact model name is rather important, As there are a few models that Tokyo Marui offer… However, Only this and the M9A1 offer a fully functional decocker/safety and an adjustable hop. Since those days, long ago… I’ve owned a few different Airsoft versions of the 92/93 series Beretta, To put some perspective on how long I’ve liked the design let’s have a quick look at exactly how many I’ve owned…Īnd finally, the latest in a long line of Berettas… The semi-recently released Tokyo Marui M9 Military Model. On one particular trip into the shop I noticed the owner playing with a toy pistol, I knew instantly that it was the Pistol used by “John McClane” in Die Hard, “Martin Riggs” in Lethal Weapon and virtually every film from Teminator 2 to Leon… A veritable classic, the Beretta 92FS. My love of comics never really took off, I was more than happy to pick up the occasional Punisher or Batman comic but I’ve never been much of a comic guy. I started off reading 2000AD, A love affair with a short lived series… Button Man Which is about a group of modern day gladiators, Fighting to the death whilst their faceless masters place bets on their survival… Basically akin to a mash up of PUBG and working in retail. Despite all these things I’d scoff at now in a replica, At the time… as far as I was concerned, this was the best thing ever! I used to go to the local comic store, A place called Crackers, Still open to this day and a proper, Independent comic store with your typical regulars and hangarounds… I was, for a time… One of those hangarounds, But it wasn’t comics I cared about, it was the row of (Now classic) airsoft guns placed coolly inside a glass display cabinet amongst the Warhammer miniatures and the 12″ tall Punisher figure armed with twin MP5Ks.

The very first Airsoft pistol I owned was a Beretta, a spring powered Tokyo Marui 92FS with a fixed hop (it might have even been a pre hop model), All in one slide/barrel and a slim stick for a magazine.
