A few months ago I posted a thread about a Turk made 92 clone. ATI AT-92. This pistol is actually a MKEK Girsan Yavuz 16. From what I can tell it is 100% parts interchangable with Beretta 92 series.
If you like Beretta, this is a wonderful pistol for $300. Really a great buy. I never see any thing posted or any real news about this pistol.
My question...Does anyone really know the origin of this handgun? Is it reversed engineered? Or is it made on what was once Beretta machinary and designs that were transfered to Turkey?
There are a few different military orginizations worldwide (including the Turks) that carry this as a sidearm.
Does anyone besides myself (on this forum) own this pistol, and if you know...what are the exact origins of this very fine Turkish pistol? If the gun said "Beretta" on the slide, you would never know the difference.
