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.
