Beretta cannot win. They are very transparent that this pistol was designed by Beretta but subcontracted to Uramex for production. It is a Beretta, included in their catalogue, and they service and provide support. If Beretta had chose to manufacture in one of their factories - price would be double and people would still be whining. It is what it is, it’s a licensed replica of their M9 to serve as a training pistol. Kind of funny people saying they’ll just purchase the conversion kit which retails at $340. Big surprise - also manufactured by Uramex for Beretta. Thanks Sootch00 for excellent review and just ordered the M9A1 to go with my M9 and LTT Elite.
I have one of these and love it. However the slide on mine is not aluminum, it appears to be pot metal. Having said that, whatever it is made of appears to be strong enough and I have over 2,000 trouble free rounds through mine. I am really surprised this gun isn’t more popular, it’s really an awesome .22.
I didn't know these were even coming out until I saw them online. I picked up a pair, and who doesn't love some sweet 22lr guns. I was also glad that they come with 15 round mags. Another awesome episode brother, have a great weekend!!
The Beretta 92 has long been my 'dream pistol to own', but somehow I have never managed to buy one, Now as I am a fan of .22 caliber guns, this one comes along,..now I have two dream guns to think about! Thanks sootch!
Damn I don't know how I missed this show. I recently counted all the guns in my safe thank God I have just enough room for the Beretta. You can never have enough BERETTAS.
I have both the .22 and the 9mm. I shot a perfect score, 250 on the Texas TLC qualification course with the .22 on Wednesday. I went back Friday and also shot a 250 with my 9mm. I absolutely love both. Each has about a thousand rounds through them and I’ve had zero failures for either. My only complaint is that they are too large for easy concealed carry. Sooo. Home defense and snake killing if necessary when I’m out in the woods.
I was at the range and a Guy next to me let me take a few shots with his band new fs 9ml. . I had been watching him have some trouble getting good groups before hand , so when he watched Me shoot , I Shot a clover leaf group (five rounds touching), his mouth feel open, he said WTF... HOW LONG YOU BEEN SHOOT'N. , I said I don't know....what time is it . I said must be beginners luck (NOT) NICE BERETTA BUDDY , I gave him my number but he never called .
I used to have one of these. Not a single malfunction in a bout 2000 rounds and extremely accurate. Traded it for a stainless ruger single six. But that was a really nice .22 pistol. Would recommend
Thanks for all the great videos and the review of this Beretta M9-22. I bought one of these a few weeks ago and it is very accurate and reliable. I do wish it came with more than one magazine, but I am very pleased with the gun.
Make no mistake sir, the Beretta .22 pistol is a " real firearm", and the .22 is a real round, and it can make you real dead. Great video as always though.
@@anamariacarmona2208 there are those from the tacticool camp that will tell you not unless you have a 45 ACP or a 44 Magnum for self-defense you're an idiot. But if all you have is a 22 long rifle pistol it's better than harsh words or throwing marshmallows. One of the unique aspects of the 22 long rifle is what it does inside the human body it loves to ricochet off of bones. I remember reading a police shooting report where the officer and the bad guy were literally shooting at each other over the top of the bad guy's car. The bad guy was eventually stopped and arrested but he was shooting at the officer with a 22 long rifle pistol... the officer got shot in his left elbow the little 22 traveled up his arm to his shoulder blade ricocheted off his shoulder blade went across through his neck and exited below his right ear. The surgeon said by millimeters it just missed his arteries in his neck and if it clipped one he would be dead. What's more important than caliber is that you Ana train and learn how to shoot the gun well right-handed and left-handed how to reload quickly and learn how to field strip it and put it back together. One of my trainers from back in the mid-eighties once told me this..."beware of the man who carries one gun as he knows how to use it"... Be well and train hard.
@@anamariacarmona2208 Getting shot by a 22LR is never going to be fun and it can certainly be debilitating and lethal, though generally it doesn't have nearly the stopping power of a 9mm or a 380. Another thing to consider is that the 22LR rimfire round is not going to be quite as reliable as a centerfire cartridge. So is a 22LR a good self defense gun, well it could be in the hands of an experienced shooter who can place the round(s) in strategic areas, but if not, then all a couple of rounds of 22LR are likely to do is anger the aggressor more and not necessarily stop him in his tracks. An aggressor could still get to you and do you in. With a more powerful round like a 9mm/380 hitting someone with a couple of rounds has a much higher probability of stopping them in their tracks before they can get to you. If all I had was a 22 then I'd make do with it, but you would do better with a 9mm/380 for personal defense. If you're concerned about hand strength and/or recoil, then check out the S&W M&P Shield 380 EZ which is very easy to rack and fires with very controllable recoil and is extremely reliable. If you can get to a range where they have one to rent, then check it out and also note that if it is a range rental then it means it will have had thousands of rounds through it from an unknown number of shooters and still has managed to maintain its reliability.
@@anamariacarmona2208 Regardless of what others say, the 22 cartridge was DESIGNED for self defense. That was the 22 short. Carrying 22lr is kind of overdoing it a bit, but we'll forgive you. I can carry any caliber Used to carry a 9mm till I fired it with no protection and realized the damage it was doing to my ears. Since I don't have ear protection with me in case of a confrontation, I carry an SR22 with CCI stingers. And I feel well protected.
This would be a great .22lr pistol for my 13 and 15 year old to plink with. I love the 92F/M9 as it is. Carried one for 24 years. I found that they just work. Honestly I wish you would've more brands of ammo though. Great job non the less.
Beretta really nailed the design of this 22 pistol perfectly. I have both the M9-22 and 92FSR-22(suppressor ready with high sights and threaded barrel) models. Irregardless if you have the centerfire 92, these are awesome 22 handguns period. Very accurate, high capacity, and unbelievably reliable even with bulk ammo. This is also one of the best 22RF suppressor hosts available. Also since it is dimensionally the same as the model 92 centerfire, holsters, sights and grip choices are all widely available.
I enjoyed this review, thanks. I love mine and it has been super reliable and ammo is cheap and still available. You didn't mention that the ambi safety is both a decocker AND a safety. So you can carry it either decocked or in safe position. What is your opinion of replacing the stock hammer spring with a lighter spring - 16 pounds? I would love to lighten up the DA.
MTB feel your pain. We live behind the curtain. I have a M9A1 and I just got the .22LR conversion kit for it, but haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet. Looking forward to going to the range and trying it out. I got the kit because, as you know, especially now, handgun permits take forever to get, so I went with the kit.
Thanks for review. Bought Ruger several years ago, but was not reliable. May take a closer look at the Beretta. Looks like this is accurate AND reliable.
Great review sootch00! One thing I'd like to see though is how well these guns shoot with cheaper ammo like Federal, Aguila, Remington, Winchester. That and what did you think about the accuracy? With that said the one thing I don't want to happen when shooting is an accidental discharge so I'm a big fan of single action double action pistols with a decocker. I really like that feature on this pistol and The Beretta M9 .22 will be getting a second consideration as my first pistol.
I have this firearm with a 5.3" threaded barrel from the factory, as well as higher sights to clear an installed supressor. It's model 92 FSR-22. I paid $355 shipped to my FFL 2 years ago. Hogue rubber grips (Amazon) with finger grooves for the 92-FS 9mm also fit this 22. Much better than the factory grips for large hands. Mine came with a "faux" supressor, which I think is a bit silly. I would never use it as I'm not a kid playing cops & robbers. In conclusion, a great gun & I'm glad I got it.
Where you finding the "extra" mags?.... nothing to be found.... pray tell where I might find such plentiful mags? I love my .22 lr Beretta..... even finding it hard to find the right price ammo... I await your clarion call. I find you well prepared and knowledgeable....unlike most of these RUclips offerings: Thank you sir!
Amen. I bought some small and some lightweight 9mm and 38 special. Shooting them was very uncomfortable. Got some 22s and they are a joy to shoot. And 3 or 4 rounds with a 22 will stop a bad guy.
If you have an M9 9mm and don't have one of these 22s your doing yourself a disservice. I've put about 1000 rounds through mine. Even had the factory barrel threaded, Heck yeah you can do that. I am wrecking it with the 9mm M9 after practicing with the M9 22. I know I'm gushing, trust me, it works for drills. Unbelievably reliable for a 22.
Also uses the same holsters as the 9ml. Very accurate neat 22lr. And grip panels, you can get Classy wood w/ Beretta Medallion grip panels , Beautiful up grade .
Picked this gun up a couple of months ago- just an excellent gun to take to the range and plink with. Win white box had some issues but Browning ammo was flawless over 500 rounds.
I've seen a review from years ago where the top of the right grippannel was pushed out by a spring, causing a gap between the grippannel and frame. Is this an issue on yours?
@@WH250398 I stocked up on Browning 36 grain cphp. Out of the ammo I had at the time it was the best performer. Remington, Winchester, Aguila and CCI subsonic were problematic for sure.
I just bought one of these from PSA because it was $299.99, but Beretta has a $75 rebate, making it $225. That rebate is why I bought this instead of the Keltec P17. I wish Beretta would make the 22lr copy of the old 84F Cheeta. For me the 92 is too large of a gun for concealed carry. The 84F is a perfect size. It would also be nice if they made an 84F in 9mm instead of 380.
Big issue with safety/decocker breaking on these. I bought one 2 years ago and quickly had this problem. I know of some ranges that rent these and they had to rebuild the decocker on all of them.
I've been looking at these for a while, now. Haven't decided which would be better, buying one of these, or buying Beretta's conversion kit for my M9A3.
@@edbigtruck Glad I don't live there. I've been looking for one for months. Nowhere to be found for normal prices. I finally had to win an auction for one on gunbroker. It's at the FFL, but they don't open again till Monday.
I have never liked, nor have I been remotely interested in the Beretta "anything". Make mine made in America, or no thank you. Except for my Porshe 911...of course
I know for a fact that the safety de-cocker fails on these pistols after so many uses. Not with the 9mm or the 40cal but in these 22lr the safety de-cocker does have issue. Now it can be changed out and then the pistol will be back to normal but that’s a serious issue for me. I feel the 22 compact Smith & Wesson or the Ruger Mark 4 22lr would be a better choice for a good reliable 22 pistol. But on the positive side if that issue doesn’t bother a person from what I understand this is a very accurate 22 and could be a serious favorite.
@@BootsOfNomad Well hello there. I guess yours finally broke. Just call Beretta they’ll get you one sent out. Your pistol should be under warranty but I do warn you though that there is a lot of work to changing one of those out. Lots of little parts. If you’re not fully confident doing it right ask Beretta to send you the parts and then have a guns smith change it out or send the whole pistol back to Beretta and just have them do the work and send it back to you fixed.
@@BootsOfNomad that how I do it. You never know when you won’t be able to get parts. So yeah store them part up for sure. But I haven’t been on line looking for that part so I’m not sure but if it’s not on the on line store I’m sure Beretta could still sell you one over the phone.
@James, that's good to know, thanks. I love my TX22 as well, and it has shot all kinds of rounds flawlessly. But I've never shot the stingers. I still might buy some...for my . 22 rifle.
@@jamesbranham2217 , thanks again. That's the kind of knowledge that you can only get from other shooters and I appreciate it. I think I'll stay away from the Stingers entirely.
Since they are bringing-in the Sig, would this be good enough to train for the National guard? It may take a couple more years to phase-out the Beretta.
It's a nice firearm but I've had trouble with mine not cycling and failing to fire with all brands of ammo. I clean it after every day at the range but it doesn't help.
I was thinking of getting one. However I've heard that replacement parts are impossible to get! Firing pin, springs etc. Anyone have experience with that? $430 here on the west coast of Florida.
I had the Sig Mosquito which was not the most reliable gun, but I worked on it and got it working 100%. I put maybe 10,000 rounds though it and noticed the slide was starting to widen out where it met the rails on the frame. So it would sit on the gun loose. It used a zinc slide. Does anyone know what this slide is made of? Is it actually aluminum and if so is it 6160 or 7075?
For the first round before you fire, recommend you pull the hammer back first then safety off and fire- makes the first round fired just the same as the rest. Having to pull the trigger harder without pulling the hammer back will throw your first round off
I'm between the m9 22 lr and the taurus tx 22..been doing my homework and in terms of reliability and all..it seems like these are the top 2 choices..which one would you recommend? Thx..
Too bad replacement parts are no longer available for this pistol. Especially firing pins. If you have one just try to get rid of it since no firing pins available in the market as of today. And this gun likes to fracture firing pin, due to its design.
You asked the question of questions! I sure wouldn't want to get shot by a .22LR! I know people that carry a .22. they know that they need to hit their target with a lot of rounds. Fortunately, there's so little recoil you can easily put all the rounds on target.
Finally got mine and I love it!!! So much fun and cheap to shoot!!! Has anyone been able to find a iwb holster for it? I’m having issues finding one that supports the pic rail
It is a cool gun but the Rt hand decocker is missing on mine bc the locking pin fell out. I tried to order a new one but it’s been on backorder for about 6 months now.👎🏼
Love mine. So damn underrated. 15+1 and incredibly reliable. Second strike capability.

It would also be nice if they made an 84F in 9mm instead of 380.
I was pleasantly surprised with the price.
I have one and it is awesome! Everyone needs it and they're cheap!
I absolutely adore mine!
Excellent job on this review!
That is one epic sign-off: Be strong. Be of good courage. God bless America. Long live the Republic.
awesome video as usual 👏 !!
Heck Don, I have just about every other rimfire I can think of, may as buy one of these after watching this video.
I have one and I just love it I can't wait later on to get the bigger brother of it
Big issue with safety/decocker breaking on these. I bought one 2 years ago and quickly had this problem. I know of some ranges that rent these and they had to rebuild the decocker on all of them.
Beretta has the threaded barrel on sale today for $110, 10-29-21, and 15 rd magazines are running $32.
I have a brand new M9 (9MM) that I just love to shoot
Excellent review!
Thanks Jonathan!
At 4:25 sound like they was having a shooting contest 🤣🤣
I've been looking at these for a while, now. Haven't decided which would be better, buying one of these, or buying Beretta's conversion kit for my M9A3.
Love using it, I don't own one yet, but soon.
Really enjoyed this review. And decided to order one.
Good luck finding one in stock anywhere, or a distributor who has one to send your way.
@@therealhawkeyeii7888 , I picked mine up last week. Had it sitting at my FFL for 3 weeks. NJ has stupid one gun a month Law.
@@edbigtruck Glad I don't live there. I've been looking for one for months. Nowhere to be found for normal prices. I finally had to win an auction for one on gunbroker. It's at the FFL, but they don't open again till Monday.
@@therealhawkeyeii7888 , I found mine on gunbroker. 399.99
It had 10rd Mag 15’s use to be legal in NJ
Beretta M9-22...15+1... runs flawlessly, can come with threaded barrel, has loading tabs on magazine, has second strike capability
Glock 44...
Mine shoots about 12” low at 7 yards. Any suggestions on replacement sights?
I would like to see a 92F in .45 caliber with a 15 rd magazine.
That would be pretty cool. But I guess for now we are gonna have to be happy with the beretta 96 in .40
I have never liked, nor have I been remotely interested in the Beretta "anything". Make mine made in America, or no thank you. Except for my Porshe 911...of course
@@stevewilson9792 Most beretta pistols youll see on store counters are made in America.
@@stevewilson9792 are we meant to believe you won't take an H&K, Berreta, Walther, Sig, Glock? Dude.
Hell yeah !!!
Looks like Beretta got a winner here!
I know for a fact that the safety de-cocker fails on these pistols after so many uses. Not with the 9mm or the 40cal but in these 22lr the safety de-cocker does have issue.
Now it can be changed out and then the pistol will be back to normal but that’s a serious issue for me. I feel the 22 compact Smith & Wesson or the Ruger Mark 4 22lr would be a better choice for a good reliable 22 pistol.
But on the positive side if that issue doesn’t bother a person from what I understand this is a very accurate 22 and could be a serious favorite.
where can i get a new safety de-cocker ?
@@BootsOfNomad Well hello there. I guess yours finally broke. Just call Beretta they’ll get you one sent out. Your pistol should be under warranty but I do warn you though that there is a lot of work to changing one of those out. Lots of little parts. If you’re not fully confident doing it right ask Beretta to send you the parts and then have a guns smith change it out or send the whole pistol back to Beretta and just have them do the work and send it back to you fixed.
@@jayman1338 ah thanks , is it on the Beretta store online the part name ?btw recently bought it I just wanted spare part so if things go wrong
@@BootsOfNomad that how I do it. You never know when you won’t be able to get parts. So yeah store them part up for sure. But I haven’t been on line looking for that part so I’m not sure but if it’s not on the on line store I’m sure Beretta could still sell you one over the phone.
@@jayman1338 oh ok
The only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on the TX-22 is this gun.
Hey Sootc00, I saw the vid you did of the Taurus Tx22. Which one do you like better?
I need this in my life 😭😭😭.
Excellent report must get one
Very nice. I think I would tend toward the Cheetah myself but this looks really sweet.
So if you had to choose between THIS and the Glock G44 what would you choose and why?
Nice, if it runs as good as my old 92F I'm in.
Great review
I might have to get one of these.. I bought a taurus tx22 and it is 100% reliable with everything but cci stingers.. go figure..
@James, that's good to know, thanks. I love my TX22 as well, and it has shot all kinds of rounds flawlessly. But I've never shot the stingers. I still might buy some...for my . 22 rifle.
@@nmr6988 ya for some reason the casing would get bent .. 🤔 I did line them up next to other 22s and the stingers were a tad bit longer
@@jamesbranham2217 , thanks again. That's the kind of knowledge that you can only get from other shooters and I appreciate it. I think I'll stay away from the Stingers entirely.
@@nmr6988 you're welcome
Since they are bringing-in the Sig, would this be good enough to train for the National guard? It may take a couple more years to phase-out the Beretta.
Have one and it’s really awesome!!
It's a nice firearm but I've had trouble with mine not cycling and failing to fire with all brands of ammo. I clean it after every day at the range but it doesn't help.
Can you make a video on how to reverse the magazine release for this firearm?
I was thinking of getting one. However I've heard that replacement parts are impossible to get! Firing pin, springs etc.
Anyone have experience with that?
$430 here on the west coast of Florida.
Umarex makes 9mm PAK cal pistols as well that is good for training
Great review for a great pistol. cheers ...
GREAT REVIEW
Sootch how can you handle all that recoil man? My wrists would be killing me 😁
I had the Sig Mosquito which was not the most reliable gun, but I worked on it and got it working 100%. I put maybe 10,000 rounds though it and noticed the slide was starting to widen out where it met the rails on the frame. So it would sit on the gun loose. It used a zinc slide. Does anyone know what this slide is made of? Is it actually aluminum and if so is it 6160 or 7075?
For the first round before you fire, recommend you pull the hammer back first then safety off and fire- makes the first round fired just the same as the rest. Having to pull the trigger harder without pulling the hammer back will throw your first round off
or just train kinda of the point of it being 22 but yes that will make them feel like the rest
I'm between the m9 22 lr and the taurus tx 22..been doing my homework and in terms of reliability and all..it seems like these are the top 2 choices..which one would you recommend? Thx..
Too bad replacement parts are no longer available for this pistol. Especially firing pins. If you have one just try to get rid of it since no firing pins available in the market as of today. And this gun likes to fracture firing pin, due to its design.
Nice pistol. Like the 15 round mag too. Does the slide stop dig into the aluminum slide? Thanks!
Mine hasn't in 2 years. It's a strong alloy.
already like it :)
edit: run it again with HP's to see if they'll expand+frag?
know it also might not like the lighter weight bullets.
My favorite gun😍
I'm wanting to get me a m922 with my heart pacemaker I think that it would be really good thank you
Great review
God bless
The only .22 pistol I would trade my S&W .22 M&P compact for.
You got that right..
Would this make a good everyday carry? I don’t know much about guns but I do wanna get into them
You asked the question of questions! I sure wouldn't want to get shot by a .22LR! I know people that carry a .22. they know that they need to hit their target with a lot of rounds. Fortunately, there's so little recoil you can easily put all the rounds on target.
I LOVE VERY MODEL FOR BERETTA
THANKS FOR VIDEO
Finally got mine and I love it!!! So much fun and cheap to shoot!!! Has anyone been able to find a iwb holster for it? I’m having issues finding one that supports the pic rail
Very Cool 22 Lr from Beretta !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing this Beretta , Sootch00. As always long live the Republic my friend !!!!!!!!!!
It is a cool gun but the Rt hand decocker is missing on mine bc the locking pin fell out. I tried to order a new one but it’s been on backorder for about 6 months now.👎🏼
