Beretta M1915 - 9mm Glisenti

The Beretta Modello 1915 was the first semi-automatic pistol to be manufactured by the famous Fabrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta company. It was designed by Tullio Marengoni as a simpler and more robust replacement for the notoriously unreliable and underpowered Glisenti Model 1910 pistol. The Italian Army adopted the Beretta pitsol and used it as a service weapon during the First World War in tandem with the Glisenti and the much older Bodeo M1889. There are various statements about the caliber: while some sources claim that M1915 was mostly produced in .32 ACP caliber, others state that it was the Navy-issued M1917 version that used .32 caliber while the Army issued M1915s were in 9mm Glisenti. The improved M1915/19 (not to be confused with the .25 ACP Beretta M1919) had a little different style with the open-top slide that would become standard for Beretta pistols for nearly a century.
