About the Gun

The M9A1-22 is a .22LR rimfire replica of the Beretta M9A1, an updated version of the M9 adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps in 2006, featuring enhancements like a Picatinny rail and improved grip checkering. Like the M9-22, it is produced by Umarex under Beretta’s license, not by Beretta directly.

Production

This model likely entered the market in the 2010s as a training platform for the Beretta M9A1. There is no explicit evidence of discontinuation as of 2025.

The MSRP for a new Beretta M9A1-22 is approximately $450. The value for a used gun in 95% condition (minimal wear, well-maintained, with no significant scratches or functional issues) is approximately $350 to $450, with an average around $400.

Analysis

The M9A1-22 closely mimics the M9A1, including the Picatinny rail, beveled magazine well, and enhanced front/backstrap checkering, making it a direct training analog for M9A1 users. It uses a blowback action for .22LR, with the same DA/SA trigger as the M9A1, ensuring identical handling characteristics. It is designed for tactical training, particularly for military or law enforcement personnel using the M9A1, with the added benefit of low-cost .22LR ammunition and reduced recoil for skill-building.
