Its unloaded weight with magazine is 787 g (27.76 oz), while the empty magazine itself weighs 89 g (3.14 oz). Magazine capacity is 17 rounds as standard, with an optional 10-round version available.
This pistol is equipped with triangular sights, featuring a triangle-shaped front post and a matching rear notch, allowing for quick and intuitive target acquisition. While unconventional, this sighting system is appreciated for its speed and ease of use with some practice.
The M9-A1 uses the Reset Action System, a specially designed pre-set double-action trigger mechanism, which provides a short, consistent trigger pull for enhanced control and safety.
This version comes without a manual safety – instead, it includes a trigger safety, an internal drop safety, and a carefully engineered trigger system. This ensures the pistol is always ready for immediate use while remaining safe to carry. A manual trigger safety exists as an optional feature in some variants, but it is not present in this configuration.
