<p class="callout danger"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**CONS:**</span>

<p class="callout warning"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**TACTICS:**</span>  
Basically upgraded G17 Pistol with a lot more knockback, the M9 can put out a lot of rounds quickly for a handgun, thanks to its large magazine and quick reload and attack speed. However, while its higher DPS keeps it viable for longer than the G17, replacing it later on with stronger weapons is still advisable. ***<span class="mw-headline"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Recommended gear:  
</span></span>***- Ammunition Mods will greately increase damage output  
- Extended Mags will allow it to lay down even more fire.  
- Ammunition Pouchs/Bandoliers will make reload unnoticeable.</p>

<p class="callout info"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**BACKGROUND:** </span>This sleek Italian pistol was what ultimately replaced the M1911 as the U.S. [military's](https://thelaststand.fandom.com/wiki/Military_(organization) "Military (organization)") standard sidearm. Despite being a reliable and accurate handgun, desert conditions, poor stopping power, and poor ergonomics gave the M9 a bad reputation in recent conflicts, and a more effective replacement was being sought out when the outbreak struck.  
Standard issue to all branches of the military. Also favoured by numerous law enforcement authorities.</p>
