This video explores the Benelli B76, a 9mm pistol originally intended as a duty weapon that found its way into the competition scene. The presenter highlights its comfortable and ergonomic grip, despite its limited magazine capacity. The video speculates that high production costs and market competition from established brands like Beretta, along with a trend towards "machine pistols" like the Uzi, contributed to the B76's short lifespan in the late 1980s. While the presenter couldn't shoot the firearm, they express admiration for its design.
This video features a range test comparison between two Benelli pistols: the B76 and the very rare MP3S. The reviewer highlights the MP3S's rarity, especially in 9mm Parabellum, and compares it against a standard B76 to evaluate the advantages of the MP3S's "bullseye features." The video thanks a viewer for providing the rare MP3S model.
This video delves into the Benelli B76 family of Italian inertial locking autopistols. It details the various models, including the B76, B76 Sport, B77, B80, B80 Sport, B82, and the high-end MP3S. The description highlights the B76's inertially locked design, its commercial failure against the "wondernine" pistols of the era, and its relatively low production numbers. Key features like the single-stack magazine, finicky disassembly, and non-ergonomic safety are mentioned as contributing factors to its lack of success.
