Offical U.S. Army Pistol Training Manual

While the Beretta M9 has been officially supplanted by the SIG Sauer M17/M18 platform in U.S. military service, there are plenty of civilians and veterans who continue to use the design for personal defense and recreation.

For those folks, a great companion to a privately owned M9 is The Official U.S. Army Pistol Training Manual as published by the Dept. of the Army and now made available by Lyons Press.

Inside the 123-page manual, Lyons Press has replicated every aspect of the Army’s user guide, including several appendices that outline ammunition, ballistics and drills.

MSRP is $20. For more information, visit lyonspress.com.
