Post; Beretta handguns in the 60s and today.


My dad told me that the standard pistol the Italian Army used in 1969 was made by Beretta (he doesn't remember type model it was exactly). He said that among the advantages was the fact that its chances of jamming were slim even after being in water or mud.

But the greatest drawback was the fact that, after a round had been chambered, the only way of removing it was fireing the weapon.

I believe that some of the US Armed Forces are using Beretta handguns today (again, I don't know which ones). Does the same problem persist?
