The magazines shipped with the M9 Special Edition pistol are commercial Beretta magazines.

BERETTA M9 MAGAZINE SERIAL NUMBERS
Additionally, on the frame six or seven numerical serial numbers are on the government pistols.
The US government pistol will have a different part number and CAGE code. The difference is the right grip panel includes the part number and CAGE code, but the left grip panel of the commercial pistol comes without part numbers. The marks on the left side of the frame under the grip are correct for both pistols. The fourth slide was from the early limited release and the bottom is the standard production commercial M9 (J92M9AOM) pistol This early commercial version had a “PM” mark but the later production never did. Prior to the release of the J92M9AOM, there was a special run of M9 commemorative pistols which came with a Bianchi holster, magazine pouch and web belt (third slide). All government slides must have this to indicate the pistol slide has been submitted to a proof cartridge and passed a magnetic particle inspection. Notice the top three slides have a “PM” laser etched in front of the part number. The real identifying marks are on the left. By looking at the right side alone it is difficult to determine. The top two M9 slides are US government production slides. But when you know what you are looking at, you can see there are very simple subtle differences which will differentiate one from the other. To the untrained eye, it would appear so. The pistol was touted as being marked the same way as the US government pistols. In the early 2000’s, Beretta introduced their M9 Special Edition pistol.
