The Beretta M9 officially the Pistol Semiautomatic 9mm M9 is a 9×19mm Parabellum pistol adopted by the United States Armed Forces in 1985. It is essentially a military specification Beretta 92FS. The M9 won a competition in the 1980s to replace the M1911A1 as the primary sidearm of the U.S. military beating many other contenders and only narrowly defeating the SIG P226 for cost reasons. It officially entered service in 1990. Some other models have been adopted to a lesser extent namely the M11 pistol and other models remain in use in certain niches. The M9 was scheduled to be replaced under a United States Army program the Future Handgun System FHS which was merged with the SOF Combat Pistol program to create the Joint Combat Pistol JCP. The JCP was renamed Combat Pistol CP and the number of pistols to be bought was drastically cut back. The U.S. Army and Air Force are seeking to replace their M9s through the Modular Handgun System program. In the 1970s every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces except the U.S. Air Force carried the .45 ACP M1911 pistol. USAF opted to use .38 special revolvers which were also carried by some criminal investigation/military police organizations USAF strategic missile ICBM officer crews and by military flight crewmembers across all the services when serving in combat zones or when engaged in nuclear weapons duties. The Department of Defense then decided to synchronize the weapons of all five branches of U.S. forces. The ground combat branches of the services found this decision highly contentious but was meant to eliminate the need to buy replacements for worn out M1911 frames and to establish a common NATO pistol round to simplify logistics in case of war with the Soviet Union in Europe. In 1979 the Joint Service Small Arms Program began searching for a replacement for the venerable M1911 and the 9×19mm Parabellum round was selected for compliance with the NATO Standardization Agreement STANAG. In 1980 the Beretta 92S-1 design was chosen over entries from Colt Smith & Wesson Walther the Star M28 and various Fabrique Nationale and Heckler & Koch models. The result however was challenged by the US Army and new tests were done by the Army. In 1984 the trials started again with updated entries from Smith & Wesson Beretta SIG Sauer Heckler & Koch Walther Steyr and Fabrique Nationale. Beretta won this competition but there was a new trial the XM10 competition in 1988. This resulted in two different trials that were more limited but resulted in the Beretta being chosen albeit with an updated design. Concurrent to the pistol selection process beginning in 1979 the Bianchi International holster company began its development of a multi-function military holster to be ready for the issuance of a new pistol. This holster - designed by John Bianchi and Richard Nichols - has served the U.S. Armed Forces well for decades designated the M12 was adopted simultaneously with the adoption of the Beretta 92F in 1985. The Beretta 92F survived exposure to temperatures from 40 to 140 °F 40 to 60 °C being soaked in salt water being dropped repeatedly on concrete and being buried in sand mud and snow. Additionally the 92F proved a MRBF mean rounds before failure of 35000 rounds. That number is often touted as the equivalent to five or six times the pistol's service life. While this is normally true in European militaries armed forces of the United States normally subject sidearms to much more extensive use. The Iraq War which featured frequent urban and room-to-room combat has required American soldiers to rely more heavily on their pistols. The M9 is a short recoil semi-automatic single-action / double-action pistol that uses a 15-round staggered box magazine with a reversible magazine release button that can be positioned for either right- or left-handed shooters. The M9 is used with the Bianchi M12 Holster though other holsters are often used. The specific modifications made from the Beretta 92 includes: · Design of all the parts to make them 100% interchangeable to simplify maintenance for large government organizations. · Modified the front of the trigger guard so that one could use finger support for easier aiming. · Recurved the forward base of the grip to aid aiming. · Hard chromed the barrel bore to protect it from corrosion and to reduce wear. · New surface coating on the slide called Bruniton which allegedly provides better corrosion resistance than the previous plain blued finish. It also has an enlarged hammer pin that fits into a groove on the underside of the slide. The main purpose is to stop the slide from flying off the frame to the rear if it cracks. This was in response to reported defective slides during U.S. Military testing. The M9 features multiple internal safeties including a firing pin block that prevents the firing pin from moving without the trigger being pulled and a firing pin striker that rotates when the safety lever is engaged preventing the firing pin from being hit even if the hammer falls. The M9 also has an ambidextrous external safety lever allowing both left and right handed people to engage or disengage the safety mechanism. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

19080644881908. Disbound. BINDING/CONDITION: This is strictly a working copy and if it were mine I would dismantle it further. The binding is gone; and the preliminary text pages are in very poor condition with tears and brittle paper. The map paper is of better quality. However it requires two people to unfold a map as-is with them bound into the book and it's not easy then. It appears to me that other than the index and one other most of the maps have never been opened. The index map has some damage -- sadly some caused by me trying to get an idea of what was what. I tried to open it alone. Don't do that. Maps are all verified as being present they are numbered. 8vo 9 inches tall. Description: 60th Congress 2d Session 1908-1909; House Documents Vol. 24; Examination and Survey of Sacramento River. Since this copy is disbound much of the information is missing; assuming this published by the Government Printing House; the only thing that remains of the original spine is a strip with the text ''A P Davis''. The book when whole consisted of preliminary text in the form of letters to the War Department followed by maps. The text portion is brief to page 19. The rest of the ''book'' consists of bound-in folded maps. There are 25 maps counting an Index Map of about 40 x 29 inches: Map of Sacramento River California from the mouth of Feather River to Suisun Bay at Collinsville. unknown
