Built on the 92-series, the M9A3 pairs a steel, extended threaded barrel with an FDE Cerakote slide and FDE anodized aluminum-alloy frame. Its Vertec straight-backstrap profile promotes a more vertical hand position, and a lanyard loop is set at the heel. A MIL-STD-1913 four-slot accessory rail is machined into the dustcover for mounting lights or lasers.
The barrel is approximately 5.1 inches and threaded 1/2x28 with a knurled protector. Sights are tritium 3-dot units, front and rear both dovetailed, with the rear windage-adjustable. The signature open-top slide design and universal F/G convertible slide are present, with ambidextrous levers.
Controls include a DA/SA, hammer-fired action with a skeletonized spurred hammer, an ambidextrous slide-mounted manual safety and decocker, an automatic firing pin block, and an oversize magazine release. The pistol currently wears a wrap-around textured grip; thin Vertec grip panels are included for a slimmer profile if desired.
Capacity is 17+1 rounds, and three 17-round magazines are included. Dimensions are approximately 8.66 inches in overall length, 5.40 inches in height, and 1.50 inches in width, with an empty weight around 33.3 ounces. Markings include "PIETRO BERETTA GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY," "BERETTA USA CORP. … MD., MOD.
M9A3 – CAL. 9mm Para – PATENTED.," "PB 9x19," and an "IT17" stamp on the slide near the rear above the frame/safety area.
