Beretta plans to keep this two-tone iteration of its popular M9A3 pistol to a limited run, available in four color combinations that can be ordered through February 2019. The double-action pistol is based off of the sought-after thinner Vertec frame while maintaining  heavy checkering on both frontstraps and backstraps. The pistol also contains a Picatinny rail and a reversible, extended magazine release. Additionally, a set of dovetailed night sights and three, 17-round sand-resistant magazines are standard. Check out the video to learn more about the Beretta M9A3 two-tone pistol as American Rifleman editors stop by the Beretta booth at the 2019 SHOT Show.
