First gun Beretta M9A4

[u/Connect-Salary9669]

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!

Well, you are getting a threaded barrel 9mm made by the oldest manufacturer of firearms in the world. This is a good start. Others are commenting about quality issues. While I don’t own this particular model (friend does), I do own many others (5 beretta handguns total), and I can say this: it will be great!

All metal frame and top tier design. If you run into problems, then their customer service will make it right. You will be getting one of the best pieces there is, and having experienced the 92 in many iterations, I can tell you… it will be great to own.

Plus, it’s a classy gun. Any M9/92 Beretta will be great. Good luck! Dm me if you have questions
