The Beretta 96A1 has an integral Picatinny rail on which users can quite easily mount a variety of tactical accessories-such as tactical lights, aiming devices or even both. Additionally, the front sight is dovetail-mounted, meaning that it’s adjustable for windage and can be easily replaced with an accessory front sight of the user’s choice. With the 96A1, the hard-hitting .40 S&W comes back stronger than ever in the 90-series lineup.The model was designed for self-defense and therefore can be carry comfortable, with high rate of concealment. It’s fitted with a frame-mounted, thumb-operated sear-locking safety system, that blocks the slide. It can be applied with the hammer fully down or cocked. The hammer has a half-cock safety system.
