Analysis

Beretta introduced the 9000S in 2000 as its first polymer-frame pistol. Type D is the DAO gun in that short compact line: bobbed hammer, no thumb safety, firing-pin block only. It was offered in 9 mm and .40 S&W. The run was short. Catalogs dropped the 9000S by the mid-2000s, and the PX4 took the polymer slot. Used Type D pistols sell quietly. Boxed examples with factory magazines sit at the top of the value range.
