Qualified today with the Army's standard M9 pistol. Clean, lubricated, and close to brand-new. Ten failures to eject, three failures to feed from new magazines, one failure to fire (light strike on the primer). Ammunition was standard Winchester-provided Army-spec 9mm. Once again, these are nearly brand-new pistols. Eight of the FTEs were stovepipes, one was a double-feed related to a stovepipe, and one was a complete failure to engage the extractor (rechambered the expended casing).
TEN failures to eject on a weapon out of 35 rounds fired is horrific- and my pistol was not the only one malfunctioning. Some were admittedly excellent, but mine and at least three others were very unreliable. Temperature was low-40s, dry, clean weapons, properly loaded magazines.
For comparison, my Hi-Point JHP 45 has 650 rounds through it with no failures of any kind.
I cannot recommend the Beretta 92 or M9 for service or concealed-carry- in my opinion, it's totally unreliable.
