Back to the springs in mags. Have you ever noticed that they work the same even if you insert them backwards?

Something's broken in a gun that shoots that far off at 25m. If the sights were off enough for that much error, they would be visibly misaligned.He allowed me to shoot three rounds and we both noticed the hits were a couple of feet off.
They did not look misaligned, but that was where they were hitting. Never had that problem with my assigned 1911.Something's broken in a gun that shoots that far off at 25m. If the sights were off enough for that much error, they would be visibly misaligned.
The M9 is a great service pistol. I carried a 1911 in 1/75th...the M9 was more reliable. The Batt 1911's were worn out so not a condemnation of the pistol.
The M9 looks and feels like a toaster next to an M&P9. Mine worked fine, but was in VERY bad shape.
All in all, a smaller, lighter pistol with either a bigger or better bullet would be nice.
Very accurate, very reliable...and just as cumbersome as the old 1911's that I carried when I started my career. I have trusted my life to it and did so with reservation
I had no problems with it, it went bang when it had to...
fixed sights.
need i say more?
carried it thru haiti, and iraq. the one in iraq was the "vehicle" weapon, left in the TC hatch.
both were terribly inacurate, jammed constantly no matter how well maintained, ammo sucked, literaly bounced off tires.
any modern .40, or .45 would be better.
All that said, the M9 is extremely valuable and effective in Iraq.
I'm an Iraqi Vet AND was a MP. I dislike the Beretta and I would prefer to have a Glock or a 1911.
Went bang everytime I pulled the trigger.
No opinion, because I always managed to find a Chief or Gunny who managed to have a .45 squirreled away in a locker during Gulf War part I, part II and when I was in Afghanistan in 2003.
Some wildly contrasting opinions on the M9.
Which leads me to believe that changing platform but still using guns until they are worse out wont make much of a difference.And most seem to be related directly to the physical condition of the individual pistol or magazines in question.
So unless someone fired the pistol at another person the opinion doesn't matter?"In a few minutes reading"
And not one of those actually says it was fired in combat.
