The Beretta M951 was also referred to as the Beretta 951, Model 1951, MOD.51, Brigadier. Italian gun designer Tullio Marengoni designed the Beretta Model 1951 and was adopted by the Italian Army in the years after World War 2 to replace the underpowered Beretta Model 1931 (.380 acp). It was the precursor to the famous Beretta Model 92 series of handguns. The Version adopted by the Italian Army and 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".
