The history of the Beretta firearms company is huge and rich. It is worthy of a lavish book of its own and I won’t cover it here because that book is already in print. It is The World of Beretta: An International Legend by the man who is probably the world’s leading firearms historian, R.L. “Larry” Wilson. Larry has been both my teacher and my student, depending on the discipline involved. I’m proud to call him my friend. My respect for his work will be apparent in the following pages from the frequency with which I quote his exhaustive and scholarly work. This book will focus on the Beretta pistols currently in wide use, and how to use them. There is not room to do the company’s history justice, and no one is ever going to beat Larry Wilson at that game in any case.
