![]() The 9mm (hardball) round is grossly ineffective, usually requiring multiple shots to neutralize a threat. On top of the reliability and durability issues, there is the problem of effectiveness. I’ve seen other pistols fail but never this dramatically. The sides of the slide had failed completely at the rear of the ejection port. I had occasion, about six months ago, to inspect a Beretta on which the slide had failed catastrophically. OEM Beretta magazines are highly prized among the soldiers. ![]() I understand from some sources that the problem with the lugs was due to bad metallurgy and has been solved in current production but the magazine problems persist. The lugs often sheer off after around 20,000 rounds and the after-market magazines the military is issuing have serious, deficiencies.
