Beretta M9A3 Reviews

Full size, weight is relatively close.Full auto, That's just fun .It's cheap to shoot and plinking in the backyard keeps it simple.

It's a Beretta. No change needed.

It's fun for adults (full auto).It gives the kids a chance to practice gun safety and be comfortable when at the range.

Received by FedEx in only 2 days. What I really like is owning this excellent Beretta M9A3 replica. Weight is realistic. Comfortable to shoot. Easy to disassemble. Blowback is not the best but is reasonably solid. I love the color. Love the look. The full-auto feature is fun but the lever action going from semi to full auto is too easy and can be accidentally switched. The magazine is solid but is difficult to load BBs due to the heavy spring. I was able to get 40-42 shots per fill (about 2.5 mags) before power went too low. The pistol made spec, shooting a Max Velocity of 332 fps. Lo velocity was 316 fps on a 10 shot string with an average velocity of 324.5 fps and an SD of 4.6 fps. Variance was 21.45 fps. Accuracy was sort-of OK, shooting a little low and left at 10 feet but needs a laser sight for better performance at 20 feet. Nice weaver rail. Easy trigger pull in Single Action.

The slide action was a stiff when I received my M9A3. Before actually operating the pistol I removed the slide and coated the moving rails and other visible moving parts with a thin coat of Molly lube and then worked the slide action five or six times to lube the action which improved the slide operation greatly. Operation should improve even more with break-in. The Safety on my particular issue could not be put on Safe fully until the magazine was removed for some reason. No solid snap-in. The magazine is well made (solid build) and CO2 installation is easy. Loading BBs is NOT easy. The plastic spring follower is flush with the magazine and is VERY stiff to pull back and hold. I ended up using a 90 degree angle pick to pull the follower back and tilt it into the holding recess. The port for loading BBs, though, is very nice.

Accuracy is good but POA/POI do not coincide using iron sights. My criteria for determining BB gun accuracy out of the box is whether or not I can put five shots into a 2" circle from 10 feet away to get a feel for the grouping. I was able to do that with just the iron sights and a little compensation. At 20 feet, however, I had to install a laser to improved the accuracy. 20 feet and beyond POA and POI differ by several inches. Also, I should mention that occasionally on my pistol the slide stuck in the open position on blowback and would not release until I pulled the magazine and played with the slide to release it. This might get better as the pistol is fully broken-in. Overall, I like the pistol but this is not a competition shooter. It is a great replica and is fun to shoot and is a great addition to my M92A1 and M92FS Berettas. But for fun shooting I will be sticking with plinkiing for the M9A3.

Really looks and feels like the real fire arm

Nothing for now

It is just fun to use the full auto

The thing is pretty cool, fully automatic. The way the slide opens and catches is awesome

The color of it. That and maybe extend the barrel somehow so its more accurate. Give it a longer magazine or at least an accessory and make it hold 2 c02 cartridges

It burns through cartridges. The gun is more for fun and not accurately shooting targets

May 2022. As close to being realistic as can be. It feels like the real thing. Perfect for indoor practice at very short range. Love the color. Check out reports on YouTube.

Nothing.

Be prepared to have fun.

I like the sound and the blow back feeling. It's pretty fun but I wish I had more clips.

Build it so it takes to Co2 cartridges.

Watch out for the slide, it bites.

well built. easy loading of C02 cart. blow back works well after a bit of lube.

open sights not the best so I added a laser sight

needed for your collection

Excellent recoil Very high rate of fire on auto

When you use full auto you only get one magazine to each CO 2

I really like the quality and attention to detail on this pistol. The quality and accuracy of the reproduction is impressive. The feel in the hand is great. The weight is also impressive. I really like the "full" blowback. And let's not forget the full auto mode, that is a blast to shoot. It's my first full auto air gun and I love it. The threaded barrel is cool. I would certainly recommend this pistol to anyone looking for a great reproduction of the M9A3. Pyramid Air had the best price I could find, even cheaper than anyone on Ebay. And to top it off, the shipping was "super fast". 2 days to my door. Very nice.

I would have liked to have found the all metal version. I couldn't find it anywhere in the tan version. Other than that, I don't know what they could do any better. Maybe make the writing a little less prominent. But that's definitely not a deal breaker.

If you've been looking and are on the fence, do it. It's a great little gun.

Looks great, color looks realistic unlike some attempts at FDE, full auto guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

The slide feels cheap to me. It did not slide back smoothly when racking the gun. In fact the first time I pulled the slide back, it got stuck and would not release. After pushing it back forward and running it through that cycle a few times, it seems to be fixed. WE NEED THE FULL METAL VERSION....PLEASE!

Who doesn't love a full auto pistol!

I like the realism in concept. I have a 9mm M92, (blued), and a .22 cal M9 (blued). I bought this CO2 pistol, as to practice without expelling ammo which is a little hard to get ahold of still, and expensive. Weight and overall feel is comparable, with the weighted magazine installed. So looks and feel are very similar to the actual firearms. I enjoy the full auto capability, though don't use it as often as I suspected I would due to the means of loading being a bit slow.

There are several changes that I think are vital. The CO2 cartridge inside the magazine is the first issue. With the time spent reloading a magazine, I thought for time sake to purchase a second magazine ... to swap them out. I have a 1911 CO2 pistol, with the CO2 bottle in the handle, which allows a quick magazine change, using the same CO2 cartridge. With the M9 ... a second magazine, means having to have a CO2 cartridge in each magazine, to successfully and hastily swap magazines, (quick reload). If there isn't a change in the location of the CO2 ... a listing in the advertising, making potential customers aware of this issue prior to sale, would be advised. I personally feel, that buying a second magazine, was a waste of my money ... I might mention, that a means of loading the magazine faster would be a great update as well. The process is painstakingly slow. Also, my 1911 CO2 pistol is almost shoots at 470 CFM, this pistol shoots just over 300 CFM ... MORE POWER!

It is an enjoyable pistol, the weight is very similar to that of the real firearm, and the look is nearly identical as well. That said: Any persons observing you carrying or handling this pistol, will think that it is a firearm and not a CO2 pistol. Firearm rules should be followed, not aiming it at anyone or anything you don't intend to shoot ... and it will be mistaken for a real firearm, so aiming it at anyone with a real firearm, could result in you being shot. Use Caution!

This is by far the best co2 pistol for the money. Thats all I need to say, most authentic and accurate

Nothing

Very strong blowback, accurate, nice trigger, quality build, working hammer

Full auto is gimmicky. Would prefer a green dot on the front sight. Take the white warning writing off the side, looks terrible. Supposedly you can take the threads off but I couldn't get mine off

Looks and feels like the real deal

Higher capacity mags

co2 goes fast

Field stripable blowback capable.

Would prefer all metal construction

Nice firm grip

Work real good

Nothing

Have fun be safe

Feels like a real pistol. Well built. Easy to teach wife gun safety basics.

Its pretty much the same as my Beretta mod 92a1 full auto they both shoot well and accurate when shooting in full auto you don't need sights you can see the bbs going through the air at the target lots of fun

It would be nice to have a very large clip capacity

not much else

Very nice looking

None
