Description:

The United States Armed Forces has a long history of presenting those within its ranks that reach the rank of Brigadier General with a custom sidearm. This included the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless during the first half of the 20th century, which was then followed by the Colt M15 General Officer's Pistol in 1972. After the M15, a customized variation of the Beretta M9 was developed specifically for the General Officer's program, with features and finish to match the prestige. Features blade front and notch rear sights. The slide is marked on the left with "U.S. 9mm M9-BERETTA U.S.A.-65490 (PB)" and the right is marked "ASSY 9346487C". The whole of the slide, barrel, and small parts feature a high polish blue finish. The contrasting matte blue frame is marked with the serial number on the front left ahead of the take down lever and "U.S. 9mm M9-BERETTA U.S.A.-65490" on the right. It is fitted with a set of walnut checkered grips with the Hap Arnold wings on the left and United States Air Force logo on the right. Included with the pistol is a Beretta hard case, tag from the U.S.A.F. Gunsmith Shop dated "MAR 04 2013”listing this pistol by serial number as a "GO M9", U.S. military M9/M9A1 manual, black General Officer's belt, M12 holster, double magazine pouch, and trigger lock.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original high polish and matte blue finishes with light handling marks and crisp grip checkering. The case and holster rig are also excellent. Mechanically excellent.
