Page 2 - Beretta M9A3 Reviews

Feels like the real thing perfect for training, for any LEO or military

Make the rear sights adjustable, shoots low and to the left, make magazines that don't fail. I don't mean a slow leak like gone on 10 seconds.

The magazine failed stuck open after 20 co2's 500 bbs' very disappointed, full auto I believe damages the plastic lower

Style

More power

Es buena para pasarla bien con amistades

Mas potencia

The color is phenomenal, everyone who i show it to loves the color. Its very realistic with the blowback action, its very nice and crisp. Before I bought the product, I thought the slide was plastic but once I got the product it turns out the slide is made of metal, just the frame is polymer. The ability to put a mock suppressor is amazing as well, it really makes the gun more unique. Accuracy is great, its more accurate than my umarex mp40. The only con I have about this product is the magazine capacity, it only holds 18 4.5 mm bb, but overall its great for its value. This is the best co2 powered .177 semi/auto pistol I've ever own, it over powers the other pistols I own

Magazine capacity

Field stripable

The gun is accurate as all can be in single semi auto mode. Its satisfyingly loud and the attention to detail is insane. The blowback feels great especially on the instantly iconic burst mode. Its the best put together BB gun I have ever felt. Highly recommend

Nothing

There was an issue with the cap to the co2 tank because it kept jamming to the point of where I had to return it. Sure it was just mine being faulty. But the gun is amazing and I highly recommend it

Replica aspect. Feels like the real steel, strips like the real steel. Color.

Little less blowback would be nice as you only get three mags one full auto. I feel like the blowback is so strong, co2 is sacrificed. Accuracy could be a little better as it does shoot quite low in both full auto and single shot.

Aim a little high with this one as it shoots low in both modes. Stripe it and apply some silicone lube or grease on all friction areas. You'll see the friction areas as they are noticeable by the paint wear. Other than that, it's a great replica. And yes..it does field strip regardless of what one person says in the questions.

Fun pistol..love the full auto

nothing

make sure you buy more mags for it

Other then the weight the A3 is lighter handles well feels good in hand at 30' 2" grouping open site free hand A#1 with me

Full Metal feels best to me ! Selector switch on first M9A1 I have after some use would not stay on semi would soot first singe shoot then Auto would not stay locked in semi Hope M9A3 won't do it.

You will have a blast M9A3 delivers !

Very well-made. The slide is not plastic as I've heard in some reviews. It is powder coated aluminum. All the switches and the trigger are also metal. I love that it's cycles like a real firearm. I named her Emma

The CO2 tightening nut and access door on the bottom of the mag could have been painted the same color so it wasn't so obvious. I will be painting them.

Way too much fun!

Very realistic, smooth action and ability to field strip for cleaning.

I wish Umarex had used a metal frame like the 92A1 instead of polymer.

Alot of fun for a bb gun! Do not brandish this replica in public, could get you in a heap of trouble. Follow hunter safety practices, use protective eyeware and you'll have a great experience.

The feel of the air gun is great. The trigger is good and the overall the air gun is fun to shoot.

I would improve the screw that tightens down the CO2 cartridge. It takes awhile to align the threads and I am concerned they might strip easily. I wish it came with an extra magazine.

There is no decocking feature like there is in an actual pistol. Otherwise very realistic

Close to an actual 9mm M9A3 pistol but Select Fire and cheaper to shoot. (See pictures) Shoots 3 & 1/2+ magazines per 12g CO2 cartridge. My Crosman PFAM9B CO2 pistols only shoot 2 magazines per 12g CO2 cartridge. More accurate then my Crosman PFAM9B, Broomhandle, or Beretta 92A1 CO2 BB pistols. But still only shoots about a 3" group at 25'. It is not as 'picky' about the BBs it fires as my Beretta 92A1. This pistol shoots most BBs. It even shoots Dust Devil BBs with an occasional misfeed. It doesn't like the Crosman steel BBs that are slightly smaller than most other BBs. The CO2 cylinder retainer nut is one piece and has 'Finger Flats' to make starting it easier. It is not as likely to break when tightening like the Crosman PFAM9B retainer nut which is a metal insert in plastic. This CO2 airgun is 2 oz. lighter (1lb 13.2oz) than my 9mm M9A3 pistol. Dimensions are close to the real M9A3 but the 'feel' is different due to the weight distribution. Easy to shoot short bursts in Full Auto

The pistols magazine follower is hard to operate. Much more difficult than my PFAM9Bs mags. This mag follower is more precisely fit & operates better once loaded. It's a bit thicker than my 9mm M9A3. It doesn't properly fit my BLACKHAWK Lvl3 Tactical Holster or FOBUS BRS Storm holster. It should fit better in a Cordura or leather holster. The trigger is horrible. Maybe I got a 'Bad One'. On a "real" pistol I'd return it or do a trigger job. Part of my '3 inch group' is due to the terrible trigger on this pistol. The M14x1 barrel thread is plastic. A 'strike' on the side of a mounted suppressor will break the plastic threads. The CO2 cylinder retainer nut can be 'cross threaded'. The 6mm Allen Wrench to tighten the cylinder retainer is annoying. This hex wrench is large, heavy and beyond what is needed which can cause folks to over tighten and/or strip the CO2 cylinder nut. Pistol shoots consistently low, about 3" low at 25'. This pistol is slightly louder than other CO2 pistols.

This is a fun plinker, great fun to shoot Full Auto! Definitely the best built Select Fire, CO2 BB pistol I've tried/own. Besides being a lot of Fun to shoot, this has become my "Go To" BB pistol for chasing deer from our flower beds & garden and woodpeckers away from the house. At 330 fps it doesn't hurt them but a 3 to 5 round burst sure scares them off. While all Select Fire CO2 BB pistols take longer to load than shoot, this one shoots 3+ magazines per 12g CO2 cylinder where the other 1/2 dozen+ Select Fire, CO2 BB Pistols I've tried/own only shoot about 2 magazines per 12g CO2 cylinder. If you're looking to try a Select Fire BB Pistol on the 'cheap', look at the Legends Broomhandle but for a few dollars more, this one is a better made, quality Select Fire CO2 air pistol. You'll pay for the extra $20 price of this BB pistol in wasted CO2 after the 1st couple boxes of CO2 cylinders. Personally, I like the Beretta M9A3 better than my Crosman PFAM9B or Beretta 92A1 CO2 BB Pistols.

Full auto will put a big smile on your face.

Higher capacity magazine.

Feel the weight. The ability to field strip. Decent accuracy. Fun bb pistol.

A more easier Allen key like the size of the ppl one. Annoying to have to carry a full wrench around. But a very minor annoyance.

A bit pricy but well worth it. Bukit to last.

The gun is a masterpiece of perfection, looks and feels great, and love how it literally disassembles like the 9 mm version.....

just wish it had more steel versus the cheap aluminum or pot metal i found, As i dropped it once on my carpeted floor and the slide lock literally broke off, no steel, just cheap white metal

Semi auto is best , cuz when you use automatic it gets so cold the clip seizes up and gets stuck and then dumps the rest of the co2 when you try to remove the clip, I actually bought 4 extra clips so i could just change out after every unload, bad mistake as the gun literally froze up and now it doesn't fire at all and all the clips have the button for the release of gas slightly extended to the point where I cannot get the clips in or out without loosing alot of gas , as the auto function with extreme cold is a killer for cheap parts and plastic. Waste of money completely as I cannot believe Baretta can't make a BB gun that lasts more than a week, but a bullet fired weapon lasts years . Really suspect.......

Good weight.

After shooting a bit, I noticed that the paint had been scraped off of the top of the barrel by the screw that holds in the front sight. Now that I have remedied that by filing down the screw, it shoots nearly to the point of aim, but still just a bit low. More quality control would be expected with a pistol that costs over $100. So I am revising the value for the money to two stars.

Don't get this if you don't like to tinker to get good results.

Similar to the real thing, but not exactly the same.

The sights are not adjustable, and it shoots so low, at about 6" at 10', that it is not useable. I will have to install a laser, and the rail is not standard. I don't think the sights are removable.

The extra mag I got, which is really for another Beretta, is black. It will not feed the first BB unless I rack the slide back, then insert the mag.

The firing precision, replica details including field-strip, magazine bb-loading and picatinny rail.

Picatinny rail with normal depth (3mm), it has 2.5mm and I couldn't install the UTG LS200 laser (too loose).

Although the precision is very good, I had to install a laser because the accuracy was a little off. I used the UTG LS268 because the LS200 ended up too loose because of the picatinny's depth. The result of a 83 single shots, bag resting at 25 feet, using Black Diamond bbs, semi-rapid firing gave me 83% inside a 1.5" bullseye (center-aim) and 100% inside the 3" circle. For 23 feet distance and same bbs, 30 single shots free hand gave me 28 shots inside a 2" bullseye. A way more precise than the M92A1. That precision goes up to 60 rounds per CO2.

Realistic looks and operation. The magazine is easy to load and had no issues. Feels good in the hand and could pass for the real deal.

I would replace the sights with ones that can be adjusted for windage and elevation. My gun shoots 3" low at 20'

I had a few issues with this gun. At first I could not pull the slide back no matter how much pressure I applied. I found that the hammer was extremely stiff and hard to pull back. If I cocked the hammer first then I could pull the slide back. After a few magazines it got better and I can now rack the slide without puller the hammer back first. The CO2 chamber plug threads were so rough that I could not get it screwed back in. I had to clean up the threads on the cap and magazine and now all is good. My biggest complaint is the fact that this gun shoots 3" low at 20', same as my MP40. The MP40 front sight has enough height to allow filing down to raise POI which is what I did but the M9 sight is shorter and the white dot is just below the top of the sight so it's not a good candidate for filing down.

The pistol shoots flawlessly, and the fully automatic function is a blast, no pun intended. Has an equipment rail to put light and laser, and takes a suppressor.

I would like them to have put on suppressor sights, as apposed to the regular sights. Also wish it would fit the rubber grips from Beretta.

Still cannot figure out if its positive or negative screw for the suppressor, but the type is 14 mm.
