Beretta M1951

Beretta M951 - 9x19mm

Brigadier - Egyptian licensed copy of Beretta Model 951 - 9x19mm

The Beretta M951 was also referred to as the Beretta 951, Model 1951, MOD.51, Brigadier. Italian gun designer Tullio Marengoni designed the Beretta Model 1951 and was adopted by the Italian Police in the years after World War 2 to replace the underpowered Beretta Model 1934 (.380 acp), which the Italian Army used until about 1990. It was the precursor to the famous Beretta Model 92 series of handguns. The Version adopted by the Italian Police was known as the Modello 1951. Later civilian market versions of the pistol were named the M951 or "Brigadier". Egypt also made a licensed version of the Brigadier, known as the "Helwan Brigadier".
