Beretta's new striker pistol

[skimmer]

When does it go for the military and police testing and how long until we'll know how many rounds it can chew through without failure? Anyone know these sorts of timelines?
It has a lot to live up to if it's replacing the 92.

Looks to me like they have considered all the best idea's from Glock and Springfield Xdm pistols. New striker fired pistol certainly makes sense for Beretta since they had nothing to offer in this area previously. Reliability will be the area of interest for me, Going to be hard to compete with years of proven Glock reliability. I know my PX4 Storm is my least reliable pistol but it also has an after market barrel because of our ridiculus laws so this could be a factor in why it jams.

Like the sight radius, striker cocked indicator, better sights than standard Glock IMHO, aggressive slide serrations, polymer lower, trigger, and looks like it can be made to fit your hand quite easily. Certainly be worth a look as I do like collecting Beretta's.

It's got nothing to do with the barrel.....they are terrible pistols and that's from thousands of rounds of first hand experience.

Looks like a Glock and an M&P got drunk and had a kid. I think I like it.

My thoughts exactly... I'd love to give it a try. I wonder what the MSRP is?

The Beretta 92 series is the most reliable 9mm handgun ever made. Given Beretta's track record, I doubt this would be to far off.

Looks like a Keltec. I don't mean that in a good way.
