Placed the order for my first handgun today, Beretta M9A1 - Through budsgunshop.

 

I see that it comes with 2 of the higher end sand resistant 15rd magazines, but i'd like to have at least 5 or 6 magazines ready to go for range / zombie apocalypse

 

Im looking for a cheaper alternative for compatible magazines that will work with the m9a1... Am I correct in assuming any standard beretta 92fs magazine will work with the m9a1? or am I limited to the higher end sand resistant ones that cost about 45 per.

 

Any for the 92//M9 will work. Check the BerettaUSA.com website. They had mags for sale last week.

Just wondering but what made you select the Beretta? Also what other handguns did you shoot?

The beretta had felt best in my hand.

 

 

I had went to my local shop with the intention of buying a Springfield xd9 or the likes but it felt terrible in my hand, i felt it was too thin, small. The plastics didnt thrill me either.

 

a dozen or so guns later i felt the beretta felt the best in my hand, thicker gun, much heavier. + I love the classic look of the beretta.

 

So once i decided on the 92 series and researching I considered the 92a1, but the rounded trigger guard just didnt do it for me, it was just something about the round trigger gaurd that looked out of place, which was one of the deciding factors when buying the m9a1 instead.

Any 92 series magazine should work in the M9A1.

 

cdnn has a good deal on 15 round magazines. 15$ per for new magazines. I've got a few of these for my CX4, they work great.

 

They also have the Italian made with rubber bottom for 18$

Any 92 series magazine should work in the M9A1.

Unless there is some special reason you need the coated mags, just get a reputable brand of mags and you should be good to go.

love the M9. plus they usually dont have 3 paragraphs stamped into the side.

I will never sell my 92fs.

Excellent choice!! Love my m9a1, just like every one said the 92 mags are all interchangeable. I actually took the coated ones that came with it and put them aside and bought some of the regular 92 mags that i use. There my SHTF mags since there coated to keep crap out of the mag well, dont need them for the range and it would be a waste since there kinda expensive.

Welcome to the 92FS club. Where you shoot and where are you? As PeteF said, be sure to get a good brand. MidwayUSA has good feedback on most products. I've shot thousands of rounds in mine As for its reliability, I remember I had a FTF a couple of years ago.

I live in woodbridge nj, i dont have a preferred place to shoot as this will be my first firearm. so any reccomendations would be great.

 

I am pretty central in the state, perfer not to drive 2 hours one way to go shoot. Im exit 130 off the GSP and exit 11 off the turnpike.

 

Thanks.

Good selection. No matter how much flatuence you will get from the 1911 crowd, the M9 is a fantastic handgun and has served our forces well for 25 years now.

 

Any 92 stlye mag will work. Sometimes you can find surplus mags for cheap. Taurus 92 mags work also if you ever run across them, they are made by Mecgar also like the original mags.

 

I have seen Korean 92 surplus mags before for $5 a mag. They worked GREAT in my Taurus that I had and regret selling.

 

Now, go get yourself a M12 model holster for it and your ready to go.

Thanks, I ordered 3 of these:

Head down the parkway to exit 89. Shore Shot is one mile from the exit.
