Beretta 96A1 .40 S&W 4.9" Tactical Pistol

The Beretta 96A1: Professional-Grade .40 S&W Performance

The 96A1 represents Beretta's return to the .40 S&W caliber within their proven 90-series platform. Built on the foundation of the legendary 92FS—one of the world's most successful pistols for military, law enforcement, and civilian defense—the 96A1 delivers the stopping power of .40 S&W in a refined, combat-proven package.

Why the 96A1 Stands Out

The 96A1 combines the ergonomic refinement and reliability Beretta is known for with the defensive capability of .40 S&W. The integrated recoil buffer system is a game-changer—it absorbs impact forces that would otherwise wear down critical components, extending the pistol's service life significantly.

Whether you're selecting a pistol for concealed carry, home defense, or professional use, the 96A1 offers the accuracy, reliability, and accessorization options serious shooters demand. All magazines are fully interchangeable with other Beretta 96-family pistols, giving you flexibility as your needs evolve.
