Hi and welcome to this fine Forum, Bizio! What are your interests in shooting, pistol, rifle, shotgun?

[Bizio]

Hi gunner, thanks for your welcome.
At moment I have a collection of almost 100 firearms : most of them are S&W pinned bar revolvers, Beretta pistols and 1911.
I also have a couple of old Remington 870 shotguns and a few military rifles (AK47, SA M1 Garand, SA M14/M1A Super Match, Colt and Bushmaster AR15/M16).

[gunner]

Wow, not a small collection! Do you collect WW2 Beretta´s or earlier and later models? Is it allowed to you to own AK47 in full auto or have they to be in semi auto? I´m more into WW2 service rifles and sniper rifles but i own some pistols too!

[Bizio]

My Beretta collection starts with the model 34 of 1937 and goes up to latest model 98 Billennium in limited edition.
In Italy citizens and private people like me are not allowed to have full-automatic guns or rifles, so my AK47 are all civil versions without the full auto option but only with semi auto option enabled. You can find here some DDR AK47 which have been modified before sale with remove or locking of full-auto leverage. Same is for example for AR15 or any other gun or rifle.
We have some limitations on caliber too: we can't use 9 mm Luger (9x19) since it is reserved here to military and police only but we can use 9x21 IMI in its place.

Thanks for explaining it to me! The 9mm Luger is known to me and i know of troubles to go to a internationnal shooting with my 9mm Luger. But thats a good reason to buy another gun Do you have both versions of the M34 in 9mm and the 7,65mm?

[Bizio]

This is for example my Colt 1911 A1 of 1943, it was preserved in mint condition lost in some arsenal.


This is my 1944 Springfield Armory M1 Garand 30-06 all original but not the followe which is Beretta, but I am looking for a Springfield Armory one and when found I will replace it.



My AK47 the first one is Romethecnica SAR-I and the latter is FEG SA85M from Hungary

Actually the M34 I have is 9 mm Short caliber but I have a M35 in 7.65 mm

I think the M34 was ONLY 9 mm Short and the M35 only 7.65 mm

Le pistole Beretta 34 e 35

Fine stuff you have, Bizio! Weren´t the Beretta M34 and the Glisenti made for the same ammo or was the Glisenti a bit different to the Beretta ammo?

Thank you, gunner.
The 9 mm Glisenti is a very old Italian caliber which has exactly same dimensions of 9 mm Luger (9 mm Parabellum) that is 9x19 mm
but not the same power and fastness which was much lower if compared to 9 Luger !

The 9 mm Short also known as 9 mm Beretta 34 has different size of 9x17 mm

You can have a look to all differences between those calibers in the following links, unfortunatly they are in Italian but maybe Google can traslante them into German.

9 Glisenti

9 Corto
