an old question since it replaced the 1911 in service. This always causes a firestorm! I think the 92FS/M9 catches a bad rap for no reason. I really liked the M9 I was issued and I like my personal M9 and Inox.
The M9 is a solid full metal frame. It is durable, reliable, and over all is a good pistol. I have never had accuracy issues with it, and the only problems I had with my issued M9 were the mags that came with it. People complained about the weak slides cracking on them when they first hit the hands of soldiers, but in reality it was only a few cases that got blown out of proportion, and ever since the issue was fixed we never heard of that again.
People complain that the 9mm is a weak panzy round, but it is not the case, the only problem is the high muzzle velocity and rounds going right through their desired target, a problem that can be fixed with hollow points.
I feel the M9 is a rock solid great pistol, just my opinion.
So why does the M9 catch a bad rap??? Dont base your points on "you knew someone who had one, or I shot one once" LOL. Try and use personal experience for either good or bad comments.
