In 1985, the Beretta 92F pistol developed by the Italian company Beretta was selected by the U.S. military as a new generation of standard military pistol, and was renamed the M9 pistol in the U.S. military. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Since then, the Beretta 92F pistol has been "snatched up and popular". The gun fires a 9 mm Parabellum pistol cartridge with a total length of 217 mm, an empty gun weighing 0.96 kg, a muzzle velocity of 333.7 m/s, and an effective range of 50 meters.

The Beretta Type 92F pistol was selected in 1985 during the first pistol replacement selection test in the United States. It was named M9, and in 1989, the gun was selected again for the second selection and renamed M10. At present, the U.S. military has been fully equipped and replaced the 11.43 mm Colt M1911A1 pistol, which has been equipped for nearly half a century. In the Gulf War, officers above the rank of lieutenant of the US military, including the commander-in-chief, had this kind of gun on their waists. The grip of the gun is made entirely of aluminum alloy, which reduces weight: the double-row magazine capacity is up to 15 rounds: the trigger guard is large, making it easy to shoot with gloves. The gun is 217 mm long, the empty gun weighs 0.96 kg, the muzzle velocity is 375 m / s, and the effective firing range is 50 m.

In 1934, the Italian company Beretta adopted the same technical design as the German Walther P38 pistol (fully open ejection case, separation of the holster retaining pin from the barrel, pituitary design at the bottom of the barrel...... ), launched Beretta

Model 1934 pistol, which already had the rudimentary style of the Beretta pistol. In 1945, the Italian army adopted the Beretta pistol as the standard gun, and since then, Beretta's business has grown by leaps and bounds. Towards the end of World War II, Japan, one of the Axis powers, was bombed into ruins by the Allies: after the Soviet occupation of Germany, the Walther factory was moved to the former Soviet Union, leaving only a ruined factory: the Beretta factory, due to its location in the mountains, not only escaped the bombing of the Allies, but also maintained the integrity of the factory due to the early surrender of Italy, allowing it to continue to develop pistols and launch well-received sporting firearms. In 1976, Beretta introduced the M84 pistol, and by this time, Beretta's style had already been fully presented - ergonomic grip, firing pin safety, split design of section clips and section pins, single-piece trigger and combat ruler, double-row magazine, and safety for both left and right handers. Beretta pistols are armed with US troops

In 1978, the U.S. Air Force proposed the need for a new 9×19mm semi-automatic pistol to replace the aging .45ACP Colt M1911A1 semi-automatic pistol. JSSAP (U.S. Tri-Service Small Arms Planning Committee) extended invitations to several prominent firearms companies on behalf of the Air Force.

The comparative test was conducted in 1979 and was conducted by JSSAP. The Italian company Beretta originally submitted the Type 92S, but the U.S. Air Force needed a thumb-operated magazine jam like the M1911A1, so Beretta redesigned the Type 92S that could remove the magazine with the thumb, renamed the 92S-1, and the magazine jam could be operated on the left and right, and left-handers could also use it. In addition to this, groove anti-slip lines have been added to the grip and the sight has been enlarged for quick aiming. The Beretta 92S-1 was submitted to the U.S. Air Force for testing in 1979, while other competitors included: Colt's SSP, Smith & Wesson's M459A, FN's DA and FA, Spain's StarM28, HK's P9S and VP70, and FNM1935Hi-Power and Colt M1911A1 also participated in the comparative test to serve as a performance reference. At the end of 1980, the US Air Force officially announced the results of the tests, and the Beretta 92S-1 was rated slightly better than the other models.

At this time, the other branches of the armed forces also need to look for new auxiliary weapons to replace the more than 25 different models of semi-automatic pistols and revolvers that have been used by the army for many years, and to switch to one caliber of ammunition. The most important is to replace the old 1911 pistol, which has been in service for 70 years, and according to a 1982 report, there are 417,448 registered .45 caliber pistols in the U.S. military. However, when the results of the pistol test announced by the U.S. Air Force in 1981 were officially accepted by JSAP, the U.S. Army questioned the effectiveness of the test program.

The biggest controversy is that many people in the U.S. military at that time believed that reducing the caliber was a wrong direction, so when it was first announced that the new auxiliary weapons would use the 9mm NATO standard caliber, they were already in a state of opposition; Another prevailing questioning was whether it would be necessary to replace all of them with new pistols, with the U.S. General Accounting Office recommending the purchase of more .38 caliber revolvers or the conversion of existing M1911 pistols to fire 9mm caliber rounds, arguing that either method would be much cheaper than adopting a new weapon. In the face of opposition, the U.S. Department of Defense was asked by the U.S. Army to begin a series of new, more extreme tests, this time with a plan so severe that after the comparative tests, all the pistols that participated in the comparative tests were not qualified. But even with such a result, the Beretta pistol was still the best performing group.
