Army awards Beretta contract for another 100K M9s.
Guess the M9 will be around for a while yet.

I know there is going to be a lot of "Brand X, cal. Y is much better" comments but regardless, looks like the Beretta is here to stay.
As a 1911a1 guy, to be honest, the Beretta is easier to get non-shooters to qualify.
Last summer I took a bunch of pistols to Oregon taking my Daughter out shooting. She shoots, and does well with her Ruger 9 and 380. My 19 year old granddaughter went with us. She hadn't shot any thing since I had her shooting 22 rifles when she was about 8.
She tried several guns, not liking them or doing well....until she shot my 92 FS, not only did she like it, but she shot it quite well.
She's not a big girl by a long shot, has small hands and still had no problems with the Beretta.
Maybe the army is on to something.
