One of the major shortcomings of the M9 Beretta is that design is old enough that it lacks a Picatinny rail for accessories. Survival Consultants International (SCI) manufactures two models of their Wor4 Tacrail for the Beretta 92 series of pistols. The single rail is for mounting devices beneath the barrel and the double railing system features both a lower rail as well as a rail super structure that sits over the top of the slide. It has seen use in low power IPSC as well as by shooters utilizing optics and lasers in conjunction with NVGs. Additionally, the manufacturer claims that the Tacrail has been used by American as well as Allied Special Operations Units. Even Beretta USA has ordered these rails.
The matte black, mil-spec finish and the tactical rails are made from extruded aluminum (6061 and 7075) in Black or Silver. The beauty of the rail is that it can be adapted to issue pistols without permanent alteration. Additionally, iron sights can still be used withe upper rail installed and the weapon can still be field stripped without removal of the rail. The rail is simple to install and includes a hex wrench that is held in place by magnets so it’s always available for removing or mounting the rail. To mount the rail you loosen the hex screw that holds the trigger key locking piece in place, mount it to the rail and screw the trigger guard piece down. The single rail will fit any major holster that is built for lower attachments and use a competition skeleton holster for the double rail.
