Anics has done a good job of giving the A-9000S the fit and finish typical of Beretta pistols. The A-9000S uses a 22-shot "conveyor belt" magazine similar to the Anics Skif A-3000. This leads to a heavy double-action trigger pull and makes it difficult to cock the hammer for SA firing. When using SA mode, the two-stage trigger has a crisp break at 7.7 lb. The piercing mechanism is effective and provides the gun a clean profile. The A-9000S is a good plinker with decent power and acceptable accuracy. Performance: Measurements were made on 7/31/06 at a temperature of 82 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired from a bench rest at 15' using JSB Match Diabolo pellets (8.0 gr). The highest velocity measured was 377 fps, the lowest was 329 fps (average of the 10-shot string was 353 fps). A six shot string fired with open sights grouped at 0.84".

	Loading Pellets: Pellets are held in a 22-shot elevator style magazine. A tool is supplied to ensure proper seating of each pellet in its chamber. The magazine can also hold lead BBs, but it is not recommended. RWS Hobby pellets are a good fit for this magazine because of their wide skirts. The pellet loading tool that comes with the gun is designed to compress the skirts of pellets (nominal width = 0.182") so they will fit into chambers designed to hold BBs (nominal width = 0.171"). This deforms the skirts of pellets and contributes to the relatively poor accuracy of this gun.
