This video delves into South Africa's domestic production of Beretta 92-style pistols, the Vektor Z88 and SP1. Faced with international sanctions, South Africa reverse-engineered the Beretta M92 through a detailed technical data package. The Z88 was a faithful, parts-interchangeable copy. Following sanctions, Vektor modified the design to create the SP1, featuring an enclosed slide and a frame-mounted manual safety, which was offered in various configurations and calibers. Production of both models ceased in 1998 when Vektor discontinued small arms manufacturing.
