Beretta Pistols

The M9 was the US military sidearm for 32 years. And before that, the Beretta 92FS was the pistol of every action movie made in the 1980s and 1990s. Iconic in a way few service pistols ever are.

The Beretta 92 family — and its US military designation, the M9 — was the standard sidearm of the US military from 1985 to 2017, the duty pistol of countless European and South American police forces, and the on-screen pistol of approximately every action film of the late 20th century. The open-slide design (where the slide has a large rectangular cutout exposing the barrel) is unmistakable, and the manual of arms — double-action/single-action with a slide-mounted decocker safety — is distinctive to the platform.

Why people buy a Beretta in airsoft: the cinematic factor is real (this is the John McClane pistol, the Mel Gibson Lethal Weapon pistol, the Tom Cruise Collateral pistol) and the platform replicates well in airsoft because the open-slide design accommodates the gas blowback mechanism cleanly. The current generation Beretta M9A3 and 92X variants update the platform with modern features — accessory rails, removable grip panels, threaded barrels — and Tokyo Marui's M9A1 remains the AEG quality benchmark for the family.

The 92 family is heavier than most modern duty pistols (alloy frame, full-size steel slide) — not a fast-draw competition sidearm. The DA/SA trigger pull takes practice to shoot well, but rewards practice with one of the best double-action triggers in any pistol design.

💡 Titan Forge tip: If you're building a US military impression for milsim, the M9 covers 1985 to 2017 — the longest single-pistol era in US service history. That's a lot of impressions, from Gulf War to Iraq to Afghanistan, that all carry the same sidearm.
