The Beretta M1951, also referred to as the Beretta 951, Model 1951, MOD.51, or Brigadier, was designed by Italian gun designer Tullio Marengoni. It was adopted by the Italian Police in the years after World War 2 to replace the underpowered Beretta M1934, which the Italian Army used until about 1990. It was the precursor to the famous Beretta Model 92 series of handguns. The version adopted by the Italian Police was known as the Modello 1951. Later civilian market versions of the pistol were named the M951 or "Brigadier". Egypt also made a licensed version of the Brigadier, known as the "Helwan Brigadier". Starting in 1981, Iraq also produced a licensed copy known as the "Tariq" and was used by the Iraqi Armed Forces and Saddam Hussein's Republican Guard.
