ww2dbaseThe Beretta Model 1935 semi-automatic pistols were effectively the same weapons as the Model 1934 pistols, with the only difference being the use of .32ACP 7.65x17mm Browning SR ammunition (M1934 used .380 ACP 9x17mm Corto ammunition). They were issued to Italian military and police units, and they saw extensive service in WW2. Between 1944 and 1945, a number of them were issued to German forces. Production of these weapons began in 1935, lasting through the end of the war, and ended in 1967; during the design's production life, about 525,000 examples were built.
