The M9 returns in Battlefield 4, as the first sidearm unlocked in the game after the default P226. As with the other 9mm handguns, the M9 possesses medium damage and moderate recoil. Like most of the 9mm handguns, it has a relatively small magazine at 15 rounds (plus one in the chamber). Statistically, it is similar to the P226, but its recoil pattern tends to be a more stable grouping in the upward direction, while the P226 tends to pull left.
