Yeah I second the SP01 suggestion. Would love to see you pit it against the beretta, maybe even a 226, to see if it's the best DA/SA. You're the most unbiased I've seen so far and I value your opinion.
@@mitchwerbell4679 I have many of both. If you match stock to stock the cz is better in some ways but I would not carry a cz for the simple reason there is very little slide area under high stress condistion. But one you can do work to the gun. Aka trigger and slide work the sig wins hands down. Also German sig 226 xfive put them at a new level. But at that price a 2011 is better
You can't shoot with a Glock because you have a shitty grip you need to break your left wrist over the gun more so you stop getting that horrendous barrel dip then you'll be better with the Glock
Personally I love the style of the M9. Seeing the barrel right underneath the slide reminds me of the classic WW1 and WW2 guns. It's definitely a proven system that withstands the test of time.
I’ve heard rumors the open cut slide proved detrimental in dusty environments like the Middle East. I personally would want a handgun that’s sealed from the environment as possible
@@SnD340 He is talking about the p38 and guns like that and how it looks like them because the barrel visible under the slide. He was not saying the m9 was around for ww2. By the word "um" in your comment I can tell you are very uninformed. Get some basic knowledge before acting smart

The G19x, with the bevertail adapter on the grip, has been the only Glock I've ever liked, need a G45 to go with it. Also like the M18, maybe a little more than the 19X. The M9A3 is a elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.
@@claytonlachance4920 I believe French or maybe German contract glocks have a manual safety and they never had an issue. I will say the p320 safety is extremely well placed and easy to use.
@@claytonlachance4920 And where did you get that information or are you just spouting typical jump on the bandwagon cause its cool to be a Glock hater BS?
3 awesome pistols!!! I think Glock 19x size wise is a better choice for concealed carry as well. But in general you can't go wrong with any of these beauty's!
I think you'd like the Sig AXG Pro even more. It has the aluminum lower, so it feels more like the M9. Best of both worlds. I still have 2 p320 compacts somehow.. I still need to get a full size.
Haven’t shot a Beretta since my time in the USMC but I remember passing pistol qualification for MSG with relative ease. I carry a Glock 26 edc because it’s my little tank.
From what I've seen of photos, the safety design seemed really, really tiny. And since the M17 thumb safety was already the smallest that I think is actually useable, I don't think the Glock 19X one would've been particularly ergonomic.
The Glock for the military trial did have an external safety. The civi one does not. They all had to have the same specs the military asked for to even be considered
The Beretta M9A3 with the langdon tactical slide with a red dot plate is wonderful. I have a leupold deltapoint pro on it and it has been a solid shooter.
Love my LTT slightly tweaked M9A3-G w/RMR, but due to its heft I prefer to use it recreationally and reserve it for nightstand duty. I have one Glock, a 19 Gen 5, and think of it like a fleet vehicle - it’s size is adequare enough and does what it’s supposed to when it’s supposed to, but isn’t particularly thrilling or inspiring. I like the weight, look and feel of my P320’s w/Wilson Combat grip modules for day-to-day excursions (and similarly configured P365XL as warranted).
I've got the Glock 19X and the M9A4. My pick hands down is the M9A4. She just feels right to me. The trigger on the M9A4 is awesome, combined with a Wilson Combat metal guide rod, upgraded spring kit, and buffer. She's smooth as glass. The Glock 19X is a great pistol as well, but for me, Beretta has always felt better in my hands.
@@willishuntley9062 I’ll tell you another great find. The CZ P10 C , in all my years trying out different pistols , this one feels the absolute best in my hands . Unbelievable pistol , super accurate and concealable, it’s basically a Glock 19 in comparison. So my M9A4 is my full size duty weapon and the CZ is now my new EDC
@@Leco070i also have all 3 but instead of the m9a3 I picked up the m9a4, and instead of m17 I bought the m18. I also prefer the beretta by far but for cc I use the m18 because it’s easier to conceal during summer months. Im not a fan of the glock 19x but bought it because I have an interest for military guns and wanted the 3 main competitors for the MHS contract.
Everyone around the world is wondering why the Sig Sauer P320 M17 was adopted by the US Army... despite the fact that they hadn't even completed the reliability tests and despite the fact that the other two guns in the running were objectively better. Mysteries....
Fun video. I have all three and have the same feelings about each that you do. Beretta easiest to shoot with iron sights, could not shoot the Sig well without the red dot, 19x has some challenges with the grip angle and shortest of the group sight radius. All cool guns!
@@philmcglen6194 gotcha. My favorite pistol I own is similar to the M9. My main is a CZ 75 SP-01 , with a Cajunized trigger job, and Dawson Precision sights. I love it.
I did not shoot my 19X that great with the stock irons. Had it milled for a red dot and now it’s one of my favorite pistols. Red dots definitely make a difference
I picked up a loaded (bench worked trigger and mag guide options) Wilson Combat/Beretta 92G Brigade Tactical around five years ago. A bargain at around $200 more then the M9A3s MSRP. Would take that over this trio hands down. Yes, I have shot all three of these vid guns side by side vs the BrigTac. A manual safety on a DA/SA handgun is 🤪.
I love GLOCKS after i've modded them to my liking. usually a Johnny Glocks trigger and sights. That said I've only had one firearm that was perfect out of the box...the CZ P-10C
my first firearm was the glock 19 gen 5, I didn't know anything about sig at the time, dude at the shop was telling me that the sig is a better option, honestly should've went with the sig but I do love my glock.
I like the Beretta or the Glock. In a SHTF my BOB has a 19X and extra mags, several of the 33 round mags. I only have 1 hand that works so I need a capable pistol that holds a lot of ammo. Ive never tried the sig to be honest though.
I have the 19X, because in the country where I'm in, Glock just floods the market for parts and mags, and the SIGs are too expensive to lose. But that M9, I want too.
Tried them all. Own them all. Tried them all in Idpa. Got the best score with my G19. So.Glock it is. Nothing fancy. But it works great. Cheap and reliable. The F150 of pistols. It has the factory Bold sights. Worth the extra money.
Qualified on M9, so I'm tempted to buy myself the Beretta. Glock loses me on the grip angle for the same reason you listed. All mine have Polymer80 frames because of that. Sig, I'm not sure of yet. Still seeing a bunch of reports of unintended discharges on the P320.
In june 2020, during the lockdowns, i was able to get a new m17 for $650, taxes and shipping to ffl included. That was with the case, 17 rnd mag, lock, manual, certificate for 2 free 21 rnd mags, patch and other sig stuff. The pistol price was $600. Later got the m18 slide assembly for a quick m17/m18 switch back and forth and crossbreed supertuck holster. I was surprised at how comfortable a full sized duty pistol could be to CC.
You guys are so lucky. In the 1970s I guarded USAF nukes with a S&W M15 combat masterpiece, 4" blued 38 special revolver and only 18 rounds of very tame 130 gr fmj bullets at some 700 fps mv. Of course we know today that the 38 can't even hurt or stop a bedridden paraplegic.
the A3 was NOT Berettas XM trial gun. It was Berettas proposed update to the M9 tech Data Package - basically the compilation of all the commercial improvements Beretta had made along the way but could not implement to the M9 which had to conform to the TDP. As the manufacturer of record Beretta had the ability to proposed these changes including a program to update all the existing M9 frames with a welded Pic Rail. Would have saved the US taxpayers piles of cash. But it was rejected by the army - it was so economical no one could figure out where the kickback payments would come from. the A3 was rejected and the XM trials went forward (Berettas submission was the APX) and we all know how that went cheers
The safety on the beretta is good for me, I take it off as I draw and train to fire that long round first and then the second follow up one with the shorter trigger. M9a4 all day
I have experience with all three in my opinion it goes like this 1:Beretta M9A4/M9A3 2:Sig m17 3:Glock 19x however I would put the 19x in #2 spot if it had a optics cut. The Beretta is the best pistol out of the bunch…..
Pretty easy for me. The Glock. When I do the point with yours close then open, the Glock is always inline for me. The m9 was the first real pistol (bigger than a 22. Lr) that I ever shot. Still holds a spot for me. Shot a sig but wasn't really a break through, exciting or no improvement over my Glock shooting abilities. So Glock for me.
I've tried both the Glock and the m9a3 for tactical conditions and torture testing I would recommend the Glock for EDC everyday of the week but I would not recommend the Glock for field work. Sand and dirt jams up those magazines real quick where is the m9a3 sand and dirt is not a problem
Hey dude great comparison video. I ran into you years ago at Cars and coffeee ATX, back when it was held at the Oasis. Do you ever miss making automotive content as ExoticCars19?
-- Always thought the military should have gone with the Beretta. Also curious: What's wrong with OLIGHT? I've never had a problem with the ones I own. Pretty rugged, reliable lights for the price. 21 years a PSC, and I've run them all. OLIGHT did just fine for me in combat conditions. Little heavier, lest light throw, but more durable that a lot of top tier lights.
Keep in mine. The contract was for 245,000 guns. Current m9 in service was approx 95,000. It would have cost more keeping m9 to m9a3 and that gun was only 80% of what mhs asked for.
Hey, I'm new to this video, but what is wrong with Olight? I'm running the same exact setup you have on your 19x on mine, and my Olight PL2 hasn't had any issues at all, and it's very bright.
Nice pistols it really depends on the shooter. I have 6 Berettas, one by my bedside in a locked box, one in my truck, one in my car, and one I carry, all have good premium bullets in the magazines and the others in my safe. 👍
Thanks for being nice about Glocks, I am very sensitive about my choice. I might go have a good cry with my Glock, my manhood has been damaged. But first, i will put my hair in a man bun and go get a Starbucks coffee in my Prius. Great video thanks
Having shot and owning both the Shadow 2 feels better in the hand. It's also almost a pound heavier so it shoots really soft. The thin aluminum grip panels just feel better to me. The Shadow obviously has a better trigger given it's designed for competition where trigger feel is important.
All are decent and good enough for most people. I’ve moved to exclusively Beretta, including 92 full size and compacts depending on the need and PX4 compact for lighter weight if needed. All are the same manual of arms so I don’t have to think about what I’m carrying that day, just draw and shoot.
I love my 19X.. It had a poor trigger pull but after polishing & adding a few other 3lb pull parts. She's a great shooter. My neighbor has the M-18 & I wanted that handgun until we went out shooting & his M-18 stove piped a few times shooting the same ammo out of both.. Never had a single fail on mine.
My favorite to shoot is 19x actually my nightstand gun. Now for the m9a3 I’ve been wanting to buy but just can’t justify buying yet badass gun no doubt. I’ve had my eyes on the p320 line for a while now since my carry is a sig p365 just not sure what model to get.
Interesting the beretta comes with suppressor height irons but you cant actually see with a suppressor. It's a pretty badass little gun though. I just got an m17, and in typical me fashion, I'm watching reviews and comparisons after the fact.
5:35 I mostly shoot Glocks and have the opposite problem, so when I present other handguns with a different grip angle (most other handguns), I often find that I'm pointing the muzzle low.
Well .. if you train well EVERY gun works just fine. While most westerners shoot some rounds and just think about aiming when they mishit too much Japanese guys have their own discipline in archery which includes "drawing the bow" only. If they would ever care to hit the target they will ;p
I own the M9A3, S&W 2.0 and the M17 they are great guns. I see why the military went with the M17. It's much lighter and met the fire control requirements. I didn't buy the 19X because I already have a glock, and that is one too many💯🤣 I personally like the Beretta best!
I have the m9a3 abs the g19x. The accuracy and trigger on the beretta are the winners for me. Glock is much cheaper and it shows in the trigger. That said either of these two will get it done and you can trust your life with them. I rotate between carrying both and wouldn't feel let down with either. Can't wait to add a m17 to my collection. Will be my first sig.
I like the styles of the Sigs so much but It just doesn't fit my hand that well and it doesn't feel as comfortable as the Glocks. I don't know what it is but only the SW M&P 9 2.0 and the Springfield Armory XD have managed to fit my hand in a similar yet inferior way even though they're both bigger than my Gen 5 G19 .
