The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

From Cole Dist., it was cheap enough.

Israeli service and been rebuilt (probably several times).

Akward to handle But a solid firearm. Limited mag capacity by todays standards but a dependable work horse. It isn't pretty but it WORKS.

It looks pretty to me. A slightly shorter Beretta 92 looking pistol. Never have I seen one before but I like it. Is it 9mm?

Yep, 9mm. They made them from the early 50's until 1983.
The Israeli's and Egyptians had contracts and they were copied by: Egypt and Iraq

Now, Bingo; you wouldn't happen to have any parts lying around would you?

This is one pistol that came to me never needing repairs just adjustments and cleaning.Never stocked parts for it and I have yet to see one in need of repair. Usually the problem is the mag as this gun has some year to it since it went out of production. Imagine how I felt when the Egyptian version showed up! BTW Helwan parts fit but steel is questionable so be careful of hammer/sear replacement parts.
I doubt that properly used you will ever need repairs as it was a quality made firearm made by one of the best in the business.

Thanks for the review, Bingo. I appreciate the information.

Now here is a question: how long did Beretta make replacement parts got these? Because the replacement slide is dated 1991 and (once cleaned up) is pristine condition. They stopped producing the pistol in 1983.


I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said: "I drank, what?"

I bought one of those from Cole's earlier this year. Mine was dirty outside but clean as a pin inside. It's a mighty fine little pistol.
