Been waiting on this review. I've been very curious about this gun. Thanks for all the awesome reviews!
Thanks for watching Joe! It's a sweet shooting pistol
I own one and it can't be beat for price to quality ratio if you are into the Beretta 92 style. I'm pretty sure all the parts are machined with no mim or plastic. New Beretta 92's have some plastic parts. Only thing I wish the front sight was changeable to fiber optic. Just me but I hate plastic parts and guide rods. You could by three of these for the price of a M9A3. Personally I also like the finger grooves on the Regard
Save about $400 they can keep the beretta name
@@bungalobill7941 YOu can buy 3 of these for the price of a M9A3? Wow! What is the price of these pistols and where can I get one? Ok he told the price in the video $350-400.
@@dalephillips8250 Got mine from Classic Firearms. Only gripe I have is the front sight is not changeable. But classic three dot works just fine
This was the first firearm my wife bought me and whoo weee is it a beautiful piece of equipment. She picked out and got me the fully equipped rig. Love it.
I’ve had Beretta’s for years and they are my favorite. I have to say the Girsan Regard is every bit as good as a Beretta. The only thing I did was replace the recoil and hammer springs with Wilson Combat springs. I do that to all my Beretta pistols as well. I’ll probably put a skeletonized hammer and a Wilson Combat rear battle sight on it as well. I’m very happy with it. If you don’t want to spend for a Beretta the Regard is an excellent option.
Do your factory Beretta 92 magazines work with it?
@@bripro68 yss bt will not lock slide on last roubd gott change out a part with a factory 92 slide stop component its angled differently from the 92 will work with girsan and surplus 92 mags after
@@Stupafyinglogic thank you.
@@bripro68 - I guess you did not even watch or pay attention to the first 5 minutes of this video where Sootch does mention that the Beretta magazines CAN BE USED in the Girsan Regard 🤦♂️
@@anthonyn.3575 Yeah so sorry if I offended you by not catching that part
I like that you include your kids in your videos. Good seeing a family out at the range enjoying the day together and sharing experiences like these. I bet they think their dad is a pretty cool dude.
I bought this pistol after wanting another M9 for so long. This video inspired me to find a Regard and im SO glad I did. This gun rocks to shoot.
Absolutely love this weapon, it caught my eye when i saw it. Ive had it for about a year and i still obsess over it.
I have around $300 to spend and was thinking about getting this one.
How is the relibity?? Would you trust your life with it. I’m really thinking about getting one just wanna know your thoughts
Are beretta 92 mags compatible?
@@Sandhill1988 so metgar magazines for 92s work fine but for gi surplus ones you need to modify the slide stop
Props to Mecgar! Top Notch quality at an affordable price. Thank you for your contributions to the firearms industry.
I can still remenber my grandpa selling at the gun shows during the ban days of the late 80's early 90's. He had cases of mecgar mags cached just for such occasion. Sold like hot cakes! Lets just say times were good.
Thank you for all the reviews you do. You are honest in your comments and I respect you commentary. Keep up the good work.
Between Canik, Grand Power, Bersa & Girsan...a fine full size high cap 9mm pistol or carbine for good price is covered.
Sarsilmar ? Too
@@richardmiller4442 SarsilmaZ.
Can vouch... Their CM9 gen2 is a bad little blaster!
Have a canik tp9sa mod 2, fucking love it. Not ONE issue the 2 years I've had it.
You can't beat the trigger on a Canik out of the box.
@@RonnieBravo_ The tp9 reset is pretty darn good. I don't have it anymore, but the finest trigger I've ever felt was on my Bersa Pro I had. It was in 45acp. It had jamming issues however & it was a pain getting the barrel out of the slide so I got rid of it. The trigger was way better than my p220 Sigs though. I don't have those anymore either.
Works fine for Turkish cops and military. Passed mil-spec tests tougher than the M9 and M11 went through. The block changes increase service life of that part. Not often you can get more of what really counts and pay less.
@@RJ-oi3ck Would have to get it from Girsan. While most of the Beretta/Girsan parts interchange, the blocks and slides do not. Since blocks are the part most likely to be replaced in a gun shot a lot over a long time, it keeps that money in Girsan's pocket.
As a fellow southpaw, I love to watch Robbie shoot! Love your videos, God bless! 😎
Bought one a month ago for $410 blk and I love it. I've been firing the Beretta 92's since I was a kid. I gotta say I would call this badboy the Beretta m9a2. Already fired 1200 ammo and no malfunction yet.
just turned 21 and this was my first purchase but i’m so glad that i found this video it was very helpful i appreciate it i just subbed to your channel to keep up to date with your videos thank you guys so much.
Damn Sootch, I'm loving these clone reviews. This may sound weird but, your review of the Arex Rex Zero One is why I purchased one, and this one is the same flavor! Like how there are some improvements especially for the price point. I may have to stay in the 9mm family. Love my Gen 3 OD green Glock 20SF with Trijicon night sights among other goodies, but ammo is out the wazoo as one might expect lol. Keep em coming brother.
Thanks for another great review. I bought the black color version today - 4/9/2021- after seeing it today at an amazing store. Feels great in hand. Excited to shoot tomorrow at the range I just became a member of. You have the most educational videos. Tu!
I have one, and the M9A3. It is a great gun for the price. I picked out up at at my LGS for around 350, give or take.
joe Jackson ever have issues with the magazines? I have thought of getting one and I have a boat load of 92 mags.
@Joe HOw does it compare to the original....does it seem just as durable and reliable?
I bought one (also in brown finish) months ago and probably shot about 500 rounds, so far. So far, so good! I have the Beretta 92fs (black) and side-by-side next to my Girsan, it’s pretty much the same exact thing. Fit/finish is excellent...all that at half the price !!! My FFL dealer was even impressed. Now I’m thinking about buying a 2nd one but in the two-tone.
Two days ago I was at a gun show looking to help my dad find a good deal on a concealable handgun for personal protection. He didn't like any pistols but fell in love with a particular revolver instantly after holding and examining it and got a great deal on it. After the background check cleared and he got to take the revolver with him, we started looking for a rifle for me. I didn't find what I was looking for, so I started looking at handguns because why not? I was leaning toward either a Tokarev or 1911, but we ended up back at the vendors who sold my dad his brand new revolver. One of them asked what I was looking for, and I still wasn't sure. After learning that when it comes to handguns I favor hammer fired pistols, he pulled one of these out of the display case, and I recognized it as a Beretta 92. It was quite a surprise to learn it was a clone. He pointed out all the differences, which mostly seemed cosmetic and showed me how it functions. It thought it was a really cool gun, so I took it home for $380 even, tax and transfer fee included. Can't wait to try it at the range this Wednesday!
I just picked up the FDE color Girsan Regard MC today and i am getting it ready for the weekend to go and and shoot it, i already own the black version of this pistol and i will admit it shoots very nice, Sootch thank you for the great review on this pistol.
I was able to snag one of these a few days ago and it has a really smooth slide and action. I was able to put 2 mags through it so far and every thing went great. Really happy with this purchase.
This is my third EAA gun. My first was the 357M 2in bbl. 6 shot. Then I bought the Girson MC 312 berneli semi 12 clone. Now I just ordered the Girson regard m9 creacote. I can't wait to take to the range. I'll come back and give you my option once I'm done at the range.
I bought four months ago. I've not had one issue with it after 600+ rounds or FMJ, JHP, and steel-cased ammo. It runs like a champ and is super-accurate.
I bought a Girsan 4” model of their 92 repo, sans the rail, a couple years ago! Awesome! Very accurate, very well made and a good carry model! Great company!
🔥
I don't know if anyone else has caught this before me, but a couple times I heard you say that Girsan has been in business since 1991. Well, that's only about 100 years off, lol! They have actually been making firearms since 1880, give or take! I assume you know that, and the 1991 was just a slip of the brain on your part, right? I love my MC, am actually going to shoot it today! Thanks for all your reviews, I've bought more than one gun from them, starting with the Grand Power K100, which I still have!!
I have one. I have added,
Wilson Combat Deluxe spring kit, duty use.
Wilson Combat - Fluted Guide Rod
Beretta factory G decocker conversion kit.
Beretta factory skeletonized hammer.
Beretta factory oversized magazine release
This is by far one of the best shooters I own.
Just heard about this on the Talking Lead podcast. I was dying to see a review. Awesome review and video!!! Great stuff man!!!
Love my Girsan Regard MC. It's so accurate, it's surgical at 50 yards and so smooth.
Just bought this gun wasn't sure what I had until I saw this video. Thanks.
Great review as always and I see Robbie was there like he said he'd be..I just purchased a Glock model 22 barrel from him and while talking to him on the phone(very pleased with the purchase), I told him to give you a shout out from me..keep up the good work...
Bought one last year and it seems very reliable and accurate......... Good review
Very Cool Beretta M9 clone !!!!!!! Thanks for showing it, Sootch00. I still want one of those Beretta M9A3's thou !!!!!! That is one handgun that's on my bucket list. As always long live the republic my friend!!!!
I got a Girsan MC Regard based on your and other reviews. I had a Beretta years ago but wasn’t in love with it for the $$$. I took the Girsan out first time last Saturday ran 300rds of various ammo including Russian steel case surplus that is soft and had NO ISSUES cycling, FTE/FTF, stovepipes or anything. I’m surprised how the trigger weighs on scale as it doesn’t feel that heavy when I shoot, and in Single action was a breeze. I had no issues on “Defensive” accuracy staying on target rapid fire, not about tightness of groups. I found the sight a little low at 10 learned to adjust and solid shooter
Got mine for 300 OTD. At that price it’s a steal. Own a 92FS as well, and I would say it’s on par with the Beretta. I find the Girsan to be slightly softer shooting though.
OTD?
@@WH250398 I think he means Out the door or total price over all
Just bought one today and everything you said is spot on. well made gun especially for 400 bucks. The guy even threw in a box of ammo and 9mm ammo is more valuable than the gun at this point.
Your review is always top notch! I want this for IDPA
I have the Girsan Mc28.... if the Regard is anywhere near as comfortable and reliable... it will be a fantastic addition to your collection.
Gorgeous too!
With Beretta M9A3 and older M9, I could keep one in my truck and not worry about lossing my Berettas. Also have 84 and 81 yes I love my Berettas.
@David....YOu sound like me with Beretta's.....wouldn't mind having one of these to keep in my vehicle instead of the original.
I ordered one of these today because of your review! Thanks Sootch!
Turkey is really making some great pistols. They make a lot of nice clones and variations of pistols.
That is a good looking pistol, love the FDE color. I have seen quite a bit of guns pouring into the country from Turkey. I know a lot of people are not fans of Turkish firearms and I don't know why all the hate. Guns are produced all over the world and I think it's a mistake to dismiss the offerings from Turkey. I for one see this pistol making it's way into my collection. Another great review brother, always appreciate your no nonsense videos. Hope you and the family are doing good, cheers!
Thanks my friend. The Turks are showing they know what they're doing regardless of how people feel about the country. Take care Brother
I own one just like it
It is a great high quality pistol at a great price. Accurate and reliable
Maybe the best price to quality ratio pistol on the market
Brand new high quality pistol at a military surplus price
I'm a huge Beretta fan boy and I love all my Berettas!!!
Which clone of this copies the Beretta? Is it the m9a1?
I have one from when they were the MKE 92. Excellent gun.
I've put 1600 rounds through mine with zero malfunctions. The grip with the finger grooves actually fits my hand better than my 92FS (I wear a L to XL glove size). Frankly, it runs just as well as my Beretta at about 1/2 the cost.
I love the finger grips on the regard mc. That was definitely an added bonus. Given the girth of the magazine well it was a nice touch it really was. I have no complaints about mine. Very very tight tolerances I can't see any machine marks on it anywhere. It doesn't rattle. Best 450 bucks I ever spent.
It's nice to see the younger people enjoy the sport!
Good video! I've heard about this Beretta Clone for a while now and was interested to know how it functioned. From the looks of things the GR MC is definitely a firearm to think about buying.
I picked one up. Cant wait to fire it. Looks and feels like a quality pistol.
11:23 "and agian I would like to thank European American fudge". lol to funny. Awesome video and amazing channel! Thanks for all the hard work you put in!
Awesome just bought one. Picking it up in a couple days. I have the baretta M922 and wanted a 9mm Baretta, but the Girsan Regard has a better price with the same quality and the picatinny rail system. Made more sense for me to purchase this over the baretta.
I was looking at the girsan pistols only a few days ago. I'm taking this as fate saying YOLO, do it!
The stars must have aligned! lol! Thanks Brother
I just picked one up today and I really like it. Can't wait to shoot it. Sportsman Warehouse had it on special at 359, I think.
Sootch has the best job in the world, but always looks like he going for a sandwich at 3am :(
Always drops good videos though!
Looks like a very well done clone of a proven design. Thanks for the video!
Using Girsan from last 8 years excellent pistol no complains, Sometime using really bad bullets but Girsan never stop.
Beretta Cost 3000 USD & Girsan Cost 1300 USD Here In Pakistan 🇵🇰
Debating on picking one up for $400 (incl fees) here in the states. 😎 That's cool y'all have access to guns in Pakistan tho... honestly didn't know that.
What’s your contact info !
God damn! I'm sorry that guns cost so much where you live. Where I live in the United states.. it's a place called new hampshire. The Sig Sauer firearm manufacturer and Ruger are both in this state. I paid $450 USD for my regard mc. And given the fact that it's an import of such excellent quality I'm amazed I really am that this firearm was available at that price. But God damn three grand for a beretta? Jesus Christ that's ridiculous. They're a great gun yeah but I wouldn't pay three grand I mean I know you don't have a choice in the matter apparently but Jesus Christ why are they so expensive in your country? The import costs alone certainly do not make it that expensive I'm guessing your government is dipping their hands into it they must be.
Cost me $450 USD. In New Jersey USA. That's a shame.
@@MrLarrana that's exactly what I paid for mine here in New hampshire. Only 450 no taxes. I'm surprised people can buy that in new jersey. Do you have the high capacity magazine? Or are you limited to 10 rounds? Here in the great state of New hampshire.. you can literally buy whatever you want. I picked up a beautiful AR-15 a few months ago. Background check paid the money and then boom I walked right out the door with it. You can do that in Vermont New Hampshire and maine. Any other New England State and yeah you can't do that. In Massachusetts you can't have an ar-15. I wanted to give my son in law my shotgun but because it has a pistol grip and a six round magazine I can't give it to him. Fucking ridiculous.
Been thinking about this firearm for awhile. But not alot of info or videos on it, then this comes out, then the next day I get a sales alert email from my favorite store.
Sold!
I've been extremely curious about this particular firearm. I've seen them at really good prices. About 3.1/2. I have not seen to many videos on them. Thanks for doing a video on it hopefully you can do a future video on durability and reliability.
Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully we'll see how well it holds up over time.
Beautiful pistol, great alternative to a Beretta M9A1, I love the FDE color.
I just ordered mine .cant wait to try it
Amazing gun. Very happy and satisfied with this gun. I was skeptical at first because of how cheap it is but wow man. It's definitely worth it. The only difference is it has a different name and make. But everything is just like the M9. There's another that is just like the 92fs.
I really like Girsan's Beretta copies. My favorite line are the MC R9 series they have as they don't have the finger grooves.
That's M9A1 clone
I have this gun & absolutely love it💯 I got it about a month ago. If you are hesitating to get this gun..... DONT!! I promise you will love it lol!!
Thanks for your review help make my mine buy this handgun.
Just picked up a MC21. Love it....now just need to find some extra magazines and good molded holster for it.
the best in his league for sure …love the girsan guns
I have the Taurus clone of the Beretta M9, and like the Girsan, it shoots just like the Beretta. It was my favorite 9 until a CZ took the honor, but I love the Baretta design.
Thank you for your unbiased comment. I followed you from the subtitle translation. I am proud on behalf of my country, as it is one of the many quality weapons produced by TURKEY in terms of price performance. And I would like to see you talking about the weapons produced in TURKEY, impartially. Finally; GOD PROTECT TURKEY. :)
Tarafsız yorumunuz için teşekkür ederim. Sizi altyazı çeviriden takip ettim. Gerçekten fiyat performans olarak TÜRKİYE'nin ürettiği bir çok kaliteli silahtan biri olduğu için ülkem adına gurur duyuyorum. Ve sizleri yine TÜRKİYE üretimi silahları tarafsız olarak anlatırken görmek isterim. Son olarak; ALLAH TÜRKİYE'Yİ KORUSUN. :)
Girsian. SAR USA. Canik . All great guns out of Turkey at a great price. Get them while u can. I just bought this version for $408 out the door. I own an M9 A1 and can vouch for quality. If Beretta is a 10 in fit and finish the Regard is 9 with that same super smooth action.
Got one today and I for one am in love with it.
Nice review! I was on the fence but after several reviews I've decided I'll purchase! Thanks!
Maybe Turkey will bring in the G36 and a copy of the HK416 next. The big boys won’t!
@one night You're stupid*
I like it and thank you for showing us the trigger pull weight.
I had been eyeing those on CDNN sports site for some time. Carried the M9 for many years when I was in. Nice pistol might just scoop one up.
Someone recommended this to me but didn't know much about guns and didn't realize that this is the m9 clone which I was strongly considering along with the cz 75 SP-01. I got the SP-01 and don't get me wrong, I love it. It's my first gun but I do wish I would have looked at that recommendation a little harder because the pricepoint of the girsan regard mc is staggeringly lower than most highly regarded pistols.
The Regard isn't a clone - Girsan originally produced them under Beretta license, so they are simply foreign produced Berettas for the commercial market under the Girsan label. Is a Toyota Camry produced in Kentucky a clone of a Japanese Camry?
Gun lust for sure!
My next purchase. The FDE is beautiful.
Before I even watch this I can say - this model is a true knock off but it looks good, good trigger, zero issues and take down and function is super. The only thing I found is the Girsan shot to the right. So A tweak to the back sight and done. Accurate and takes Beretta mags. It just works and for this price point it is great !
Thanks for sharing your experience Brother
I'll tell ya what man..You have one of the most stable pistol grip and holds of anyone I have ever watch run a pistol. There is literally hardly any muzzle rise when you run some of these pistols . That goes for the poly framed pistols you show on occasion.
It looks good , and reliable , just have to see how these two go head to head in accuracy
I just paid for one of these a few days ago while I was browsing around my local Sportsman's Warehouse. Overall felt real nice in the hand, slide action was smooth, and trigger felt alright. Now just waiting for the 4473 to go through, gonna be a few weeks they said. I looked up the one i bought on EAA's website and found it was an exclusive model to Sportsman's Warehouse, has a black/carbon grey finish, G10 or Micarta grip scales, and the one thing that was certainly different was the spiral fluted barrel. Kinda curious how that'll effect its shooting, I'll have to wait and see. Overall for 560 bucks it's certainly a good looking bit of hardware.
For anyone on the fence just buy it. The pistol is NATO approved and a standard issue sidearm for the Turkish military. I stumbled across this gun used a few months ago for a steal and it's quickly became one of my favorite handguns to use. It feels like quality in the hand, on par with any Beretta I've handled bar the elite models and of course better than any I've ever been issued. So far I haven't found a single Beretta part that doesn't work including a g kit, threaded barrel, grips (with very minor fitment), Wilson springs, and mags. It fits in all the quality surplus Beretta holsters flooding the market. The guns only downside (unless you hate finger grooves) is it has a fixed front sight like the m9a1 and there's only a couple companies milling these out anymore. This gun is a no brainier at the price we've been seeing them.
Probably my preffer pistol . And probably now finally 9mm guns are available for common citizens in Brasil 😁😁😁😁😁 Be strong . God Bless America
Thanks to your newly elected president. 👍🏽

You guys can carry now? YESSS!!! I'm excited for this and I'm from the U.S. God bless your new president!
Great stuff Sootch00!! I was looking at these but alas, my LE price on a Beretta M9 was tough to beat and it matches my Navy service pistols exactly so all good. If not for that pricing I would have definitely grabbed one of these Girsans.
Hi. Quick question. What retailer offered you the Mil/LE pricing on the M9?
Thank you
@@yumyus506 Lawmen’s Police Supply. Great folks to work with and sent to my FFL amazingly fast
@@LongColtSportsman Thank you. Let's hope they have a 92fs.
Cheapest one I could find was over $550 and the M9/92fs was $600. I think at only $50 difference I'll be getting the Beretta.
Great video though.
Cheaper than dirt has them for 344 if you really want one
Check gun broker I got mine for $312 after transfer not too long ago and the second one that I bought I paid $335 after transfer
I do see a couple of important differences. The Girsan does not have an oversized hammer pin and grooved slide. This change was implemented on Berettas to prevent slide failures. The Girsan also uses a Type 1 locking block as opposed to the Beretta Type 3 style. It should be expected that the Girsans will experience block cracking the same as the early Berettas with Type 1 blocks.
I’ve seen one of these for like $450. I thought it was a .22 at first cause of the price, but then the guy showed it to me. I would love to get this one in the future.
I've watched this video i dont know how many times. I wanted a hammer fired pistol for a little while now after owning a few striker fired. Not saying striker fired is bad but a change. I ended up picking up this firearm today and had some issues of a live round pushing the spent round back in the chamber. Out of 200 rounds its happened roughly 8 times. Not blaming the firearm because it literally went straight from the counter, up the stairs and right into the range. I'm guessing it needs a break in period or maybe a wipe down and better than the factory lube that came with it that it was coated in. All in all with the issues I've had in the 1st 200 rounds I still like this gun, I'm very happy with my purchase and I'm happy I found this review of the gun before I bought something else. Thanks sootch00
I’m getting one, surplus is about the same price but if I can get new might as well
Two things. One the Girsan is a 92f clone, not a 92fs. Not a big deal, but you can google the difference. Also, if you research deeply enough, there is some relationship between Girsan and Beretta, not sure what exactly, but it's there. I own one of these and after a couple thousand rounds, the thing runs perfectly, and I would recommend it to anyone. I've shot many pretty hot hand loads through it and haven't put the slide into my grill yet. There is no disappointment with this gun.
Very impressive presentation 👍
Own one and love it. Great review as always.
The Girsan in "bright white" (Chromed) is better finished then the Berettas imo. Prefer it to an M9 or 92FS tbh.
I like their compact slide version. No rail though.
I'll stick with the Beretta 92FS. 💪 But this is definitely a good-looking clone. 👍
If you had to choose one of the clones would you favor the Taurus PT-92 or the Girsan Regard?
I think that's an interesting question.
I have both the PT-92 and Regard MC along with true Beretta 92's. If I was going clone, Regard all the way. The only thing I like on the PT-92 over the Regard is the frame mounted safety/decocker. I have a WC 12# spring in the Regard MC and it's sweet for the price. I wish it was a 92A1 clone w/ a dovetailed front, but I painted my front orange and blacked out the rear so it's easier to pick up.
I haven't shot the PT-92. All I can comment on is the Regard and there isn't any down side. I was looking for a FDE Beretta but am on a budget so the prices alternative wasn't going to happen. The Regard MC is better than expected.
I pick the PT92 . I own one and is awesome.
At last, a Beretta Clone. Nice one Sootch ;) !!!
I actually purchased my MC in a gold plated finish, recently so it may not be as durable..
Its definitely a meme gun at this point with how ridiculously shiny it is, but can't wait to try it out. It's not going to see A whole lot of use, but that's the reason why I'm going after a CZ 75b next 😎
I have a 92G that is awesome and I would still buy the Girsan for the price especially. If I didn’t think it was quality I would not buy it no matter what
FYI it is based on the earlier 92f not the 92fs. It does not have the retainer to keep the slide on the frame if it cracks from using machine gun ammunition. You can inadvertently taste beretta cloned steel like a seal if you go outside manufacturer spec ammunition.
Just picked up a Bersa TPR-9 pro based off your and several other reviewers opinions. Got her on a black Friday sale for $210.00. Initially went in to buy a ruger security 9 compact they had on for $265 but after seeing and handling the Bersa I just HAD to have it for that price.
This gun is more like the beretta m9a1 than it is to the m9a3. Its almost an identical copy, only differences i have found over the m9a1 it the finger groves, and the rail. M9a1 has 1 rail slot regard has 4. That's actually a win for the regard in my book. I have all 3 guns the regard, the m9a1, and m9a3. The m9a3 is my favorite for many reasons, but price is 3x what this regard sells for. The regard is an awesome gun, and for what its price at, a tremendous value.
