I'm sort of rounding out my Beretta "collection" (Currently a 1935 32apc; 85f in 380; 9mm 92s & 92fs, and a bunch of PX4s in 9 & 45) with a hoped for 1951 or m951 or 104 or.....
Wondering if anyone has any advice, knows what the current prices are for a 1951, and experience. I had one a few years ago but it got away. Now I want to replace it.
I know to pretty much stay away from the Helwans. Either poor steel on the commercial variety, shot with very hot 9mm ammo on the military versions, especially the ones captured by the Israelis, and I guess if I can find a Beretta contract "E" 1951 I might buy it.
Any other advice. I know parts are hard to come by...but I won't be shooting it as much as the 92s or certainly the FS or my PX4s. And I'll use nice soft commercial 9mm.
