Opinions on the beretta m1951

[Robk13]

Who was the importer for your pistol?

Pw arms imported this batch and they put the import mark in the most clever location under the slide! At least they had more forethought than century typically does.

Thank you. Nice that they went to the effort to make it inconspicuous.

Hello all, do any members here have any experience with the m1951 beretta? I am thinking of picking one up to add to the collection. In particular I am interested in weather the ones that were 1975-1976 production are strong enough for long term reliability since they switched back to the alloy frame in 1975. Does the "newer" alloy compare to steel framed examples?

From what I gather the alloy is the same as used on the 92s. Were the later models less prone to locking block failure? Any information or stories regarding these pistols are appreciated.

I have one(1976) and have put several hundred rounds through it no prob. 115gr ammo is probably key for longer life of the locking block instead of more grains or +p.
