It looks like the Army does not want anymore Beretta's after the current orders are filled. Big Green, apparently wants a new design.
Beretta, offered the M9A3 a revised M9, (1) with a straight backstrap, for those with smaller hands, (with an optional grip to replicate the M9 feel- for those with larger hands) (2) a tan slide- (2) with a revised slide mounted safety (that is said to reduce accidental safety application), (4) threaded barrel - for sound suppressors, (4) enlarged magazine release button, (5) accessory rail for lights or lasers and reportedly (6) a more flared magazine well.
