I have the m-9 and have had a hard time finding concealed carry holsters for it. I found a post a few minutes ago about a holster for the vertec that might fit it. I plan on trying one out this week. The m9 has a sand resistant mags and the safety does decock it. no more carrying cocked and locked! I have had other beretta 92 in the past and love the reliability and good old fashioned weight of the weapon!

Bryce should be able to give you all the info you need and can find whatever you want. I've had a few Berettas. They always did what they were supposed to do and are good looking pistols. I think they are a little big and feel awkward to me. I much prefer the Sig 228/229 platform. They feel good, look good and I've never had a FTF, FTE or FTAnything with a Sig.

Here is a comparison video on the M11 aka Sig P228 and the M9 aka Beretta 92FS. Personally I like the Beretta, always have and always will. Though they are big and bulky it helps soak up recoil.

I just got an M9 and carry it daily...I like it better than my Glock.

Thread Necromancers! Thanks for the info though

I don't own one, I've thought I'd like to have one. I did shoot a couple other people own. I liked about every thing about them except the decocker safety thing and the first shot double action. I HATE that. To me it takes what would be an outstanding hand gun and drops it to mid range because of what I consider extremely poor accuracy induced by a huge design flaw.

Take the same gun and give it cocked and locked capability with no other change and it would near perfect. (make it a 45 and it would be perfect)

As far as I know the 92FS and the M9 are pretty much the same (at least externally), so a holster for a 92FS should work for a M9. I carry a 92FS in a Galco Concealable. It works very well.

If it has a rail, though, that might be a different matter.

Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

I agree with making it .45 but im used to the safety location, Thats how it is on my Ruger P85 that ive carried for like 2 years.

That's why I carry in condition zero, so I don't have to fuss over some silly safety. It's in its holster until ready to fire, so it's already got all the safety it needs without that optional feature of the gun. I get SA every pull from first to last.

I know this is probably a stupid question but what is condition zero. D/A/S/A pistol with one in the chamber, but safety on and its been decocked. If i dont put the safety on does that make it condition zero?

Here's a couple more videos I found from a youtube user named "Hicock45" he seems to like the Beretta. Though he does admit to preferring Glocks in terms of their trigger pull.

This one is a video he made doing a "close up" on the Beretta.

This last one should start some discussion, it's a Beretta VS Glock vid.

Cocked and unlocked...don't lock it which decocks it...it stays in the "ready to be fired" state simply by pulling the trigger.

turns out Taurus did something right.

 

[MarkM]

Isnt that dangerous? Considering the fact i carry IWB

LMAO!!

As long as the trigger doesn't get pulled, you shouldn't have anything to worry about. It is only as safe as the owner.

 

[Bluedragon]

I have carried a few Beretta's IWB with the safety off, chamber loaded, hammer down, and never had any accidents. That I know of...

 

[LPMan59]

i carried a pt99 cocked and locked for a little while. it wasn't IWB, but the gun never went crazy and started shooting. I used a quality Galco holster.

 

[MarkM]

Im more or less just worried i know the P series had a recall and i dont know if the previous owner got it taken care of. Is there anyway to get that checked?

 

[Bluedragon]

If your Ruger is a P85 and it was sent back for warranty work, it should come back with a "MK2" mark..I think...
