Mec-Gar has made mags for Beretta in the past and currently make a flush-fit 18 rounder. Note that in the pics of the gun above, it has a Mec-Gar 20 round magazine in place. It makes loading double column pistol magazines a breeze. In any event, I highly recommend the Butler Creek LULA magazine loader. Double column/single feed pistol mags are a bitch to fill to capacity without a loading tool. I’m a bit surprised that it doesn’t come with a basic magazine loader. (Actually, it’s there to help keep the case from getting crushed in transit.) The pistol came in a blue plastic hard case with a manual, warranty card, lock, two 15 round magazines, and a Jello mold or shot glass. I wound up buying my own about a week later.
So, I went over to my parents’ and took another look at my father’s M9. I regard the CX-4 as a good choice for a defensive carbine and the idea of a pistol that would take the same magazines is something I find very attractive. Back at the beginning of April I picked up a Beretta CX-4 Storm 9mm carbine which uses Beretta 92 magazines. This last point had always soured me on the gun. Many people with small hands have a difficult time comfortably gripping the piece due to the bulk of the grip. Further, the M9’s size is very large for the cartridge it fires.
Compared with more modern pistols like the Glock, Springfield XD, or S&W Military & Police, the traditional DA/SA trigger is obsolete. One pistol that it’s taken me a long time to warm up to is the Beretta 92, AKA M9.
