M9

The Berreta 92F (designated M9 in the US Military) is the US Army's and Marines' standard sidearm for most of the Battlefield Series. In the early 1980s the US Military began looking for a new sidearm to replace its inventory of aging WWII-era pistols and revolvers and the various types of ammunition used by these sidearms. Several rounds of pistol trials were held in 1983 and 1984 between select foreign and domestic firearms companies until the Joint Services Small Arms Program awarded a contract to Beretta for their model 92FS in 1984. Bearing the new designation M9, the pistol and its 9mm ammunition quickly became the standard for all US forces. It's lightweight, durable, and can fire its 15-round magazine in seconds.

During its introduction, the M9 was surrounded by controversy. Some Americans didn't want Italian made guns, while others felt that the older .45 ACP cartridge was superior to the M9's 9mm.The safety and magazine release buttons are reversible, allowing left-handed users to easily operate the M9.

Battlefield 2
The M92F is the USMC's standard sidearm in the game. It's stopping power and accuracy are similar to that of other handguns in the game. However, it is widely considered that the M9 has the most user friendly iron sights in the game. It's magazine capacity is 15 9x19 P rounds, identical to that of the MEC MR-444 and Chinese QSZ-92. There is also a silenced version but is only issued to the Special Forces and Sniper classes.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The M9 is the standard pistol issued to the US Army faction, only usable by the Recon Class. The M9 carries 12 rounds per magazine and the player will have 50 rounds in reserve. The Russian counterpart of the gun is the MP-443 Grach Handgun.

It can take up to 6 body shots to kill.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The M9 pistol is the first pistol given to the player in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer. It features a 12 round magazine (it had a 15 round magazine in the beta), and modest close-range accuracy. It can generally be fired quickly and can even easily achieve a kill. It can kill with 4-6 shots. Its very low recoil can make it effective for medium range engagements as well.

Trivia

 * A 12-round magazine for the M9 is unheard of, as their standard magazine is a double stack, 15-round magazine. In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, this magazine size may be due to the developers evening out gameplay by downsizing the magazine like in Battlefield: Bad Company.
