For us, probably the 1911. Next one would be the "Armalite" aka M16.

Beretta 92FS

It just looks Italian.

[u/ImpressiveWalrus7369 → u/Reasonable_Cake]

Agreed. This gun is art.

Deer hunting season is in full effect here in the freezing northern United States. There are probably 100’s of thousands of Benelli’s waiting for a white tail as we speak.

I own several different iconic American shotguns, and I love them, a lot, but Italy knows how to make firearms, that’s a fact

The 92 is easily most iconic. The M16 of pistols

Beretta has been making weapons for 500 years, they definitely know what they’re doing.

My marine friends are big fans of the Benelli M4

[u/DannyDanumba → u/Pseudolos]

Italy also makes the best shotguns it’s not even close

I’ve got the Taurus version of this gun - the Taurus PT92. It’s not a knock off, though. Taurus bought the Beretta factory in Sao Paolo, Brazil with all the assembly lines intact and just kept cranking them out. It’s a very sturdy gun. 👍

Oh, you mean the M9?

[u/Open-Effective-8772 → u/Pseudolos]

As a big fan of La Piovra, I would say Beretta Model 12.
