When I saw the military was moving away from Beretta to this garbage, I laughed. All the stuff they claim is a selling point are just new points of failure. M9 and 1911 forever. Two best sidearms you could possibly use.
I have the civilian version of the M9 and I can say that it's one heck of a gun. It does however hate subpar ammo. It'll jam just looking at the bullet. But that's because I'm cheap.
Might want to have a gunsmith check the feed ramp and possibly the mags. All the M9's I've handled have been reliable to a fault. The only issue I can find is the harsh double action pull on the first shot. But you can train through that.
I truly think it's the ammo. I bought this this crappy stuff off Cabela's years ago. I think I got 1,200 rounds for $160. So you can just imagine how awful that was for the gun. And I agree with you it does surprise you when you send your first round downrange.
