Beretta M9A4 Overland 9mm Clay 5″ 10+1
About this product
The Beretta M9A4 Overland 9mm Clay is a full-size, metal-frame pistol designed for trail and field use with optics-ready capability and suppressor compatibility. Built on Beretta's proven M9A4 platform, it combines duty-grade reliability with overland aesthetics. The Clay Cerakote finish provides durable corrosion resistance for outdoor conditions.
What is the Beretta M9A4 Overland used for?
The M9A4 Overland serves as a field-ready sidearm for overlanding, hunting backup, and range training. With its 5-inch threaded barrel and suppressor-ready design, it functions effectively as a host for sound suppression systems. The tritium night sights and ambidextrous safety make it suitable for low-light conditions and both right- and left-handed shooters.
How does the Beretta M9A4 Overland compare to the Stevens 334?
The M9A4 Overland offers superior accessory integration compared to the Stevens 334 Rifle. While the Stevens 334 excels at long-range precision with its .308 Win chambering, the Beretta provides immediate tactical versatility with its optics-ready slide and threaded barrel. For close-quarters defense or vehicle-based scenarios, the pistol format proves more practical than a full-length rifle platform.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The pistol weighs 34.4 ounces unloaded and measures 8.5 inches in overall length. The 5-inch barrel provides optimal sight radius while maintaining compact storage capability. At 1.5 inches wide, it remains slim enough for standard holster compatibility.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not ideal for concealed carry or urban self-defense applications. The full-size frame and 8.5-inch length make concealment challenging compared to compact models. Buyers seeking maximum magazine capacity should consider models like our Stevens 555 Sporting series that offer higher round counts for sport shooting.
What's in the box?
The package includes the pistol, two 10-round magazines, and standard documentation. Beretta ships the M9A4 Overland with specific California-compliant magazines due to state regulations. No optic plates or specialized tools are included for the optics-ready system.
Is the Beretta M9A4 Overland worth it at $1169?
At $1169, the M9A4 Overland justifies its price for shooters needing suppressor and optic compatibility. The factory-installed features eliminate $200-300 in aftermarket gunsmithing costs. For dedicated overland or field use, the integrated features provide immediate capability without modification delays.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Beretta 92FS holsters?

- Does it fit common pistol suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded barrel accepts most standard 9mm suppressors. The threading matches industry standards used by SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged Suppressors. Always verify thread pitch compatibility with your specific suppressor model before mounting.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Standard shipping to Montana takes 5-7 business days after FFL verification. All firearms ship via FedEx with signature requirement upon delivery. Expedited shipping options reduce transit time to 2-3 business days for an additional $35 fee.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- Firearm returns are limited to manufacturer defects due to federal regulations. We recommend handling the pistol at your local FFL before completing transfer. Grip circumference measures 5.25 inches around the polymer grip panels for reference.
