To resolve the issue, some agencies issued a third spare magazine while others authorized officers to purchase and carry one at their own expense. 40, the officers complained about giving up round count. They hadn't had that problem with the 9mm Beretta 92F model and they weren't prepared to take it on simply so they could switch to the. Even as insignificant as that number was, the range master and his staff agreed that they weren't comfortable fielding the weapons with unknown reasons for malfunctions. They were unable to identify the malfunctions as the result of mechanical failure, shooter error, magazine damage or damaged ammo. One agency in my area had a small number of malfunctions (less than 10 out of over 10,000 rounds fired) that they simply couldn't explain. To make matters worse, the Beretta 96s experienced some malfunctions that range officers had a hard time explaining. While I'm not one to argue the value of a single bullet if I'm debating a seven round magazine or an eight round magazine, I think that a reduction of 12 rounds or approximately 25% of an officer's ammo load, is significant. What that meant was that police agencies who switched from the 92F to the 96F reduced their in-weapon total from 16 to 12, and their "on the belt" total (including the weapon's load) from 46 to 34. 40 caliber variant of the military M9 pistol reduced the magazine capacity to eleven rounds for law enforcement weapons, or ten for the capped civilian magazines. Shown at right, the Beretta 96F looks, and in fact is, externally identical to the Beretta 92F or "M9." This. One of the agencies I am responsible for training carries this weapon and I've had more than my fair share of experience with it on the range and in my duty holster. Many agencies took the offer and are still carrying those guns today. 40S&W became popular, and thanks to the Clinton Gun Ban that restricted "high capacity" magazines manufactured after a specific date, Beretta offered many agencies the option to trade a used 92F for a new 96F. factory are located-I watched agencies all around me switch over to the 92F in 9mm. Since, at that time, I lived and worked in Prince George's County, Maryland-where Accokeek and Beretta's U.S. Since 1985 when the Army selected the Beretta M9-otherwise known as the Beretta 92F-pistol as the new duty sidearm, police agencies nationwide have looked at the pistol as a possibility for duty use.
