[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 2954036, member: 23"] I was issued one when they first came out in 1985. I was in the AF and up till then we were carrying S&W model 15 .38's with ball ammo. It was a welcome replacement over the .38. When they first came out there were reports of frame breakages from Navy SEAL units. There were some ups and downs and the die hard 1911 users fought tooth and nail to keep their beloved .45's. IIRC, the first issued Berettas we got were Italian made. As a part of the military contract Beretta had to build a manufacturing plant in the U.S. within a certain time. [/QUOTE]
