This video provides a detailed look at the Iraqi Tariq pistol, a domestic copy of the Beretta M1951. The description highlights its role as the official sidearm for the Iraqi Army and police, while also noting its generally low manufacturing quality. It mentions that copies of the Beretta M1951 were also produced in Egypt as the Helwan. The Tariq has not been commercially imported into the US, with most examples in the country being brought back by veterans. The video also touches on the complexities of legally bringing such firearms back and mentions a separate Tariq model which is a copy of the Beretta Model 70, sharing only the name and manufacturing standards. It's presented as an interesting addition to a collection of enemy sidearms from US military history.
