The Beretta M9 Pistol.

story continues below...

In this case the reader is in excellent hands because the author has been around firearms all his life and actually works with them as an adviser to the police and military. Beginning with a brief recap on the development of Italian pistols the author then moves straight into his subject matter which is the development and use of this fine weapon. Italy has produced some very good weapons which have proved very serviceable in military and civilian police roles and in the M9 it has achieved this again. However, the M9 has not been without its problems in service and the author covers these points, such as the issue over magazines, and explains how problems were solved. A range of nicely detailed photographs and technical data make this a very good for anyone interested in handguns and for those readers in countries where they can be held legally, this will be a good background history on the origins of a weapon in widespread use with the police and military.
