Beretta M9A1 — New for 2025 (New Release Spotlight)
October 9, 2025
The Beretta M9A1 is back for 2025—classic alloy-frame, DA/SA 9mm manners with a 1913 rail and two 15-round mags in the box. Great for collectors, range rats, and anyone who likes a longer sight radius over micro-blaster recoil. (Yes, it still looks right at home next to that old green MRE spoon.)
What’s new & why it matters
Beretta has relaunched the M9A1 in fresh production with the familiar 92-series ergonomics, ambidextrous controls, and an accessory rail for lights/lasers. For shooters who prefer a duty-size pistol with a smooth single-action follow-up after that first DA pull, the M9A1 remains a confident handler for training and range work. If you’ve been hunting down clean examples on the secondary market, a new run means warranty support and easier parts compatibility.
