Beretta M9

In-Game Description
The Beretta M9 service pistol is arguably the most famous of the "wonder nines", the high-capacity 9mm pistols that replaced revolvers and single-stack pistols all over the world. American soldiers reported a number of problems with cracked slides, unreliable third-party magazines, and insufficient stopping power, but the M9 is still considered one of the more reliable and accurate pistols out there.

The M9's slide reduces the likelihood of "stovepipe" malfunctions, but the original off-brand magazines make it prone to failure-to-feed malfunctions: the slide does not always feed the top round of the magazine into the chamber. If this happens, the best solution is to throw the magazine in the trash and get a better one. If that's not an option, you can smack the magazine sharply to make sure that it's fully seated and that the rounds are lined up correctly, and then try racking the slide again.

Trivia

 * The safety switch on the Beretta M9 also acts as a de-cocker for the hammer.
