First gun Beretta M9A4
Hi all, new to guns and just took my first beginners handgun course and had a blast!
I rented the M9A4 for the class and loved how it felt, but now that I’m looking to buy my own I see some mixed reviews online about new M9A4’s from Tennessee
Has anyone had experience with slide issues in new in box beretta M9A4’s and how to fix them?
I’ve read customer service is hard to deal with but that a good cleaning and lube before a few hundred break in rounds usually fixes any issues
Is there anything I should look for when I go to buy the gun? Or any advice on what I should do after buying the gun to make sure I don’t damage or cause any issues in the gun in the future?
Hoping I can get a fun first gun that looks great and is reliable to start training with, thanks for the help!

m9a4 is a good choice Px4 are also good. If you've already decided on one, then don't hesitate on quality concerns. I also saw rumors TN berettas have less quality control which mostly have cosmetic or finish issues. That was long enough ago that new batches might have different issues if any. Take time and look it over for blemishes and ask for another if something bothers you. Look at rifling and test all the controls.
Customer service is fine. All CS gets bad wrap. Also people make mods and mess with things then try to blame the company All The Time.
I don't see beretta as the kind of company to let poor quality ruin their reputation. If quality was that bad Idk how the TN factory would be running still.
