Beretta M9A3

Saw an online site starts preordering the M9A3.

Since the M9A3 is easy to convert from FS to G mode, wondering if there will be kit available to convert my Vertec Inox.

May be buying a m9a3 slide??

Thought?

Honestly, I think the M9A3 is basically a painted M9A1 with minimal improvement on features or functionality. I just don't see the value in paying for an A3 slide (if you can find one in the next two years) over buying a G slide.

It's more like a Vertec with a different paint job, night sights, G conversion and checkering. We can actually get pretty close with an on roster Vertec without playing ridiculous prices (assuming someone does an intra-family transfer to flip). I plan on getting work done on my Vertec and by the time I'm done I won't be missing out on the M9A3.

If it doesn't get adopted by the US military, how can it be called the M9A3? Where is the "M" in M9A3. I have a Colt M1911A1 because it was a military issued sidearm. Part of the lure about the M9 and M9A1 is that it is was adopted by the US military. Why pay more hard $ for a tan-green painted 92FS that is a wannabe?

Because it's America and you get to name it whatever you want? It might be common practice to attach the letter "M" in front of a firearm to indicate the military adopted but there is certainly no law about it. The rest of your post is just your opinion. Many Beretta owners would welcome the G setup, Vertec frame and factory night sights but wouldn't give a damn what the military uses.
