Beretta made a LOT of different 9mm pistols. However, if you are asking about the M9 pistol used by the US Army, it is about 8.5 inches long.
Made in the early 1950's, before the HiPower was officially introduced to the US market. Value would be around $2500.
Beretta M9 9mm
J. Browning invented & perfected the pistol known as the 1911 (adopted by the US Military in 1911, given the name M-1911. Shortly afterwards, a few modifications/improvements were made and designated the M-1911A1). Browning sold the rights to Colt to produce the weapon for the US military.

The common sidearm pistol issued to the US Army is the M17/M18 Modular Handgun System, which is based on the SIG Sauer P320 pistol. It is a 9mm caliber semi-automatic pistol that replaced the previous generation M9 Beretta pistol.
If you're referring to M9 pistol in use with the US Armed Forces, it's 15. If you're referring to a 9mm pistol in general, it can vary greatly by manufacturer, and you'd need to be more specific about which one you were referring to.

Savage made three models of automatic pistols, the model 1907 (made 1908-1920), the model 1915 (made 1915-1917), and the model 1917 (made 1920-1928). All of these were made in .32 ACP and .380 ACP caliber. Because Savage pistols were sold internationally (for example, the French military purchased tens of thousands of .32 model 1907s for use in WWI), starting in 1913 Savage stamped both the US/British "inch" caliber and the metric caliber on the top of the slides of its automatic pistols..32 ACP = 7.65mm (or "7.65 m/m").380 ACP = 9mm (or "9 m-m")There are a number of 9mm cartridges; the .380 ACP is the same as the 9x17mm, aka 9mm Browning Short, 9mm Corto, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Court, 9mm Short. This is NOT the same as what is commonly meant by "9mm" today, which is the 9x19mm, aka 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO, or 9mm Para. It is also different than the 9x18mm, aka 9m Makarov.November 21, 1905 is the date Elbert Searle was awarded a patent for his pistol design. This design is the basis for all the Savage automatic pistols, and the date is stamped on the top of the slides of all Savage automatic pistol models. It has no connection with a pistol's model or manufacturing date.
It is unknown. The HP 9mm was introduced by Browning in the US in 1955, but they only started to keep production records beginning with 70,000 in 1957. Your gun was probably made by FN and sold outside the US prior to 1955. Early 50's would be a good guess. To verify my information, you should notice that while the gun is stamped Brownings Patent, nowhere on the gun will you find the words "Browning Arms Co." which began in 1955
It is a type of pistol that was created by John Browning in 1911. The standard US Army 45 caliber automatic pistol was a Model 1911.
