Glocks are overpriced right now, the markup for a new one vs an old one is too much (unless you can get the blue label price).

All these pistols are guns I actually owned personally or carried for work. Some I have shot hundreds of rounds through, and a few I shot thousands through. Not all of the pictures are of my exact guns, but are representative of the makes and models as I don’t have pictures from years ago. Add your comments on which ones you like the best or least.

The M9A4 is an overall good gun, but is it the best out there for the money and is it worth the price?

How to clean your pistol and what kit to use
Great comparison, I have a 5" fde M&P. My favorite gun
I just got a blem one for $700. Wish me luck! My favorite ammo to train with is Blazer brass 124gr. I used 124gr hollow point so I like training closer to what I use for self-defense. They’re usually $24-26 cents a round so very affordable!
I’ve carried a striker fire, first with Glock then with S&w for 29 years. I picked up a m9 just recently and I like the gun. The manual of operation is a bit different than I’m used to but I like it. With that said I am way more comfortable with a striker fire handgun only because of the thousands of rounds I put through one.
It’s the speed of the first shot where the striker fire wins, but that single action trigger after that beats most 1911s IMO
Nit pick magee
I got a full size beretta M9A4 with a surefire x300 and I cannot find a hoster for it can you help me out
If you are looking for a duty style holster, the Blackhawk omnivore that takes the surefire light will do you well. Match that up with at-Rex arms leg strap and a decent belt will do nicely. For IWB look at the below link: www.candgholsters.com/collections/beretta/products/beretta-92fs-96-m9a3-m9a4-x300u-iwb-tactical-alpha-kydex-holster-quickship-c-g-holsters
@@Duty2Domicile Do you know any of them have the backstrap
@@chuckyrios2061do you mean the backstrap of the pistol? The M9A4 comes with a wrap around grip that is textured nicely
Safariland 6034. Only on eBay. 75 bucks new. Just did it with 300 all worked great after yiu take the barrel plug out the holster
I still don't understand how the US military jumped from 7.62mm NATO straight to 5.56mm NATO without even considering the 6mm range of caliber, until now with their 6.8mm NGSW program.
That’s a great question
Great reviewsl! Ill probably will be picking up m9a4 full size
I have a p320, is it worth it to buy the 365 xmacro comp? I dont want a gun that will shoot the same as my 320. Not sure if i want to get the 365 xmacro comp or the MP 2.0
The 365 is snappy compared to the 320, even the comped version. It’s great if you’re looking for a slim profile but the M&P 2.0 was a better shooter to me.
Thanks for a great video. I used hi visibility green luminous paint on my front sight for good day and night time performance.
Mecgar labeled mags came in the box brand new? I'm trying to figure out what mine are since they aren't labeled anything.
Mine were labeled as mecgar, but even if yours are not labeled, chances are they are still manufactured by mecgar.
I’m really torn between this beretta and a sig M11A1. It would be a range toy, as well as daily concealed carry.
I carried the Sig M11 as a duty weapon for years so I can tell you my opinion with some confidence. The beretta M9A4 is the better gun, especially if you put a LTT trigger job in a bag into it. The beretta has a better grip, recoil impulse, and is smoother shooting overall, just get the G version. Both are reliable and both have a great track record. But if it were my money after using both of them, I’d go for the beretta all day every day.
@@Duty2Domicile that’s probably what I’ll do then. I carry a full size M9 pretty regularly, but I shoot my P239 better than any gun I own. The more compact size of the sig is appealing. I could always cut threads off of the A4 though and recrown it.
@@redbarronreviews2429 , if possible, try each one, but shooting both stock compared to what you can do to the M9A4 is almost an injustice 😂. If you’re shooting great with the sigs, the M11 will probably not be too much different than what you’re used to. The best part is, you can’t go wrong with either one
@@Duty2Domicile I ended up going with a colt commander in 9mm, but I will have both the Sig and the Beretta eventually!
All these people knocking magtech. I’ve shot thousands of rounds with no issues. Is there better ammo? Yes. For the price? Eh. It’s range and training ammo not anything you’d load to trust your life with
This is a great video man
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.
Can’t say I disagree with you on that.😂. IMO, if you like the TLR-1 or surfire x300 light on a Glock 45, might as well get this 47. It shoots better than the other Glocks for the exception of the 34.
I Love the G45. BUT I think her Old Sisters G47 is Hotter 🤫🤐❤🥂👑💣💣💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀
Its a $1,100 pistol. So don't use cheap ammo....9mm ammo is inexpensive enough, lol.
Not nowadays it ain’t 😂, but it is a great gun and like you related, with good ammunition it will serve anyone just fine
I have a brand new APX-A1 Compact. Had this issue with one of the two mags that came with it. Bought 4 more Beretta 15-rd mags, while loading them at least 2 required me to fiddle with the follower to get it to go back into the metal mag part. The issue seems to be it rides up too high and gets stuck. Haven't shot these yet, hoping they'll settle in. Getting the 15th round in was much more difficult than other 9mm mags I've loaded, even with a speedloader. Might resort to making them 14rd mags, it's just a range gun for now.
That trigger upgrade kit was really meant for other models....mostly. The M9A4 already comes with a upgraded trigger and a de-cocker so spending time $ on this upgrade...meh. No real bang for the buck unless you want a skelatized style hammer. Trigger pull and reset is exactly the same.
The spring kit does not have anything for the decocker, but I can tell you the trigger was leaps and bounds better afterwards. Especially the double action and the reset
With the trigger job and a match hammer, the trigger changes drastically. Have you even shot one with a LTT Trigger job in a bag??
It is pretty sweet out of the box but mine is ultimately sweet for me after adding a Langdon Tactical Trigger Job in a Bag and Ameriglo Spartan sights. +500 rounds without a hitch. I've run my Langdon Tactical compact RDO slide on it with a Holosun 407C with no problems.
Comparing the 5.56 to a 308 NATO rifle is hilarious I’m just honest 5.56 is weak plus 308 has better capabilities.
I agree compared to the 308, the smaller 5.56 is weaker but with the right grain weight and barrel the 5.56 is very effective against soft targets. The problem is the military tried to make it a do all round that doesn’t make it do anything great. But the smaller round is more common to find and cheaper to train with which is a big factor. In a crazy situation it may be better to have more of the weaker rounds than just a handful of the full power rifle rounds. But since I can’t see into the future, you could be right on your choice depending on what situation you may find yourself in. Thank you for the comment!
Picked up a 92x rdo Centurion recently. I got the one that came with 2 18rd mags. I put a Swampfox Liberty 2 on mine with the Beretta plate. I don’t mind the way it looks too much after mounting it for the price. Looking forward to shooting it soon I hope.
I notice a lot of aftermarket add-ons. How about a video going over some of those and what improvements they make, if any (trigger, takedown lever, light, omnivore holster, etc.).
Good idea, I will probably do one about the light and holster as there are a lot of videos about the trigger parts out there.
I don't have any experience with the Sig, but I have experience carrying, and generally speaking, lighter is better.
It pronounced uuh-gi-la
i just got a 92x compact. it looks identical to this gun. struggling to see what the difference between the two is?
Grip is just a bit longer
Looks great, good info, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Is this fit to 3rd gen smith and wesson 59 series?
I have no idea, have not tried it out
The military should’ve never switched over to a faster twist rate and heavier bullet weight they should’ve stayed with what worked a 1in12 twist barrel and a 55grain bullet using the 20 inch barrel or a 16 inch nothing shorter or longer and the 5.56 is deadlier
Good point. I do believe how the bullet is constructed is another major factor however. I don’t believe the green tip helps anything other than going through a little more material. In the case of GWAT, this was not needed as the enemy did not have body armor and penetrating through regular cars could be done using just about any regular rounds. IMO, a 75-77gr OTM would have been the best option for most engagements and probably would have been cheaper to mass produce for the military than the M855 or the M855A1.
I notice at the beginning of the video the mags has a black base plate then you switched to the fde plates ! I got my beretta and it had one fde plate and two with blakf plates wondering if the same happened to you ?
No, I got 3 mags with tan base plates, but I just got extra mags at my local stores
If you received black mags instead of the FDE there should have been a card inside the box with info on how to get two free FDE mags once they get them back in stock.
I just bought the full size and the rear tritium night sights do not glow, contacted beretta for warranty.
red river tactical can make custom kydex level 2 custom for any set up
I found the 5.56 PPU to have the best price
so you bought bad ammo?
If you could, please, do a comparison of the Centurion vs. the Full Size… Good Review!
I wish I could. I will tell you, just get the full size as certain parts like the guid rod and barrel are easier to find if you want to customize it. But both are great
I never run Magtech because of the many issues I've had with it. I run AAC, PMC and even Winchester 2nds and have not had a single malfunction on my Beretta m9a4 in about 2,300 rounds. I will update in a few months when I've passed 5,000.
Thank you for the comment, look forward for the update.
Cut your nails. Only dainty men have long nails.
great vidio
Thank you, glad you liked it
some folks just got to say something negative because they are dip shits
It's not the best, but it gets the job done! Many have tried to replace 5.56 for Military use, and many have failed. It's hard to beat within 300 yards, considering how light the ammo is, how low the recoil is, and how accurate it is. 6.8 x 51mm definitely isn't replacing it, I can tell you that much!
I agree, until there is a threat that uses more body armor than the US military does, I think the 5.56 is here to stay for a long while.
Advice - Dont knock the gun because you use cheap ammo...magtech is bottom feeder ammo.
I didn’t knock the gun because of one random round that wasn’t loaded correctly. In fact, I like the gun a lot, it’s one of my favorites. Just because I noticed some simple improvements that could be done by the manufacturer doesn’t mean I don’t think the gun is great overall. I’m just pointing out some things that people may or may not be aware of if they never handled one and are looking to spend a lot of money on. I have no problem pointing out improvements or issues with any of the guns I own or have owned. I’m not sponsored and don’t have any emotional connection with any manufacturer that would keep me from putting out my observations. If I pay good money for a gun, I’ll let my viewers know exactly what my experience was with whatever gun is in front of the camera. Like I said, it is a great gun overall and with a little practice, it will be a favorite for many people.
It's really no different than the other railed sigs, except it is all black. The big improvement is the addition of an optic! Your review is not a review. Don't do anymore!
A review is any amount of information a person puts out based on what their experience is with a product. If you want a 1k plus round review of this exact gun, I’m more than open for free ammunition if you want to provide it. At what point do you consider something a review?
For that price buy a FNX 45 tactical. Way more capacity optics cut and no beaver tail safety. Also American made. Over 1000 rounds through mine no hiccups. Love sig but this is just a pricey ass 1911!!
More companies making O.R.1911s is a good thing.
on many occasions the slides stands unlocked
Looked at one at a local gunshop. The finish looked cheap and was actually wearing off on the thumb safety and mag release just from being handled.
The p320 Compact and p320 Carry are both fine handguns but for EDC the p365 X Macro Taccops is the way to go…
Damn, I gave $200 less for my Scorpion. Not sure if the X is worth it in my opinion. Thanks for the video.😊
double action is 6lbs single action 4lbs
It's not a good 1st gun because it's expensive? That doesn't seem like a good reason.
Most people, not all but most, are very reluctant to train with a good looking gun that cost them a lot of money. When I say training I mean the type where guns will get hit, scratched, and banged up, not just shooting at the range for 45 minutes. With a $1k+ gun, I bet a lot of people won’t sign up to do that. They will take a $400-$500 gun and will be more likely to risk the surface damage. Just like people that have new mall crawlers vs a guy who has a 20 year old secondary driver who will risk a few scratches to go off road.
Thank you for a real decent video as I picked up a Coyote colored one two weeks ago and have already run nearly 100 flawless rds on the first range outing. You brought up quite a few enhancements that I hadn’t initially noticed in the functional aesthetics of the 1911X. As well that this comment thread has been excellent. Lastly I’m pretty certain that a 507K which I currently have on my EDC a Sig p365 XL will work just fine in the Compact RMS-c footprint for the optic without any need of a plate, etc.
Thank you for the comments. I will have to check if the 507k will be supported with anything else or if it just by the screws. I don’t like it when the only thing supporting the sights are screws when recoiling and or possibly dropping the gun. Good choice for your EDC BTW.
