Beretta 1951

Purchased this today from a Fellow MDS Member. Very Nice 1951.

I scored one off gunbroker. All it took to make it awesome was a $7 recoil spring. They are great.

I've been wanting one with Israeli proofs like that one. I've got what is supposed to be an Israeli one, but without the proofs. Still looking.

Interesting...

Where did the recoil spring come from?

Very nice. I have a minty 1935 with matching mag and period mil proof marks, I hope to add a 1951 along the way sometime.

Beautiful firearm... pardon my ignorance, but is that a cross-bolt safety?

Funny how all it takes to peak my interest are some additional roll marks! Love the Israeli connection, takes a good example to another level. Congrats and thanks for sharing with us. I'd never seen an Israeli marked Model 1951 before.

Very nice. Inside the Star of David is the Hebrew letter for "N" I believe--that's about all I can remember from my Bar Mitzvah. Anybody know what it means?

I sold him that 1951 and the other that I have has the same mark. Both from the same dealer. I have another from that dealer on the way. Very interesting.......

Pretty soon my collection will be only CZ-82's and Beretta 1951's.

CDI?

Everytime I see a 1951 Beretta I'm reminded of the old MAC 1950 pistols. I used to have a MAC 1950 but it got away.

Yes, like on some shotguns.

No, I looked at the CDI guns. They're inexpensive but pretty beat up and look piecemeal. Regardless, I may buy some of them. Any 9mm handgun that shoots, and cost less than $250 is worth buying IMHO.

Personally, I think the 1951 is going the way of the CZ-82; it will be very desirable in the future.

fred333 · Mar 26, 2014

The 1951, like the 92, is, to my eye, the most beautiful pistol design (I'm speaking aesthetics, not function) ever made. For that reason alone, they're worth having.
