The 96A1 is an evolution of the famous 92FS (M9), one of the most popular handguns in the world for use by law enforcement, the military, and civilian self-defense. It is equipped with two 12-round magazines and is chambered in the powerful .40 S&W to give tremendous firepower for any tactical purpose. It is simple to use, accessorize, and disassemble while being safe, accurate, and reliable. A recoil buffer, which significantly reduces component stress, also increases the durability of the weapon. It is the best option for shooters looking for a professional-grade personal- or home-defense handgun that can also be quickly converted for concealed carry. The weapon has the recognizable Beretta aesthetics.
