Thanks also to master Beretta armorers Bill Pfeil and Rick Devoid. Their intimate knowledge of how Berettas work was particularly valuable to the chapter on maintenance. Huge thanks to the men of the U. S. Marine Corps RTU and the U.S. Army Marksmanship Training Unit for their insights into the accurizing of the Beretta M9 into a match-winning bull’s-eye pistol.

And finally, thanks to my editorial assistants: Herman Gunter III, Anna Gunter, and Gail Pepin. Without their efforts, the unforgiving deadline never would have been met.

It is a monumental task to review all the modern Beretta pistols and not one that can be undertaken in short order. To that end, portions of a number of the reviews that appear within this book were first published as magazine articles when those guns were first brought to market. In all cases, my assessments of the pistols in question still stand as they did when I wrote the original reviews. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the publishers of American Handgunner, Shotgun News, Combat Handguns, Gun World, Guns, and Guns and Weapons For Law Enforcement for their permission to use that important material in this book.
