Beretta Model 1923
This video provides an in-depth look at the Beretta Model 1923 pistol. It details the pistol's development as a post-WWI replacement for military and security service, its design based on earlier Beretta patents, and its chambering in a lighter-loaded 9mm Glisenti cartridge suited for blowback operation. The description highlights key features like the exposed hammer, which became a hallmark of later Beretta service pistols. It also discusses the limited production and sales of the 1923, and a niche variant (designated 1924) with a shoulder stock/holster combination, noting its design compromises.
