Well historical piece, written in Arabic on the slide, some say that they were a president from Saddam himself.

Elwood Epps lists a few. In a week they'll all be gone, so get off the fence.

And you get a Beretta 951 for the price of a Norinco

These pistols are very well made.

It's like a Beretta 92, but single action and single stack magazine.

I still have some in excellent to as new condition.

The trade ex site is pretty good but I wish they'd get their search engine fixed.

Someone must have typed in Husqvarna and overloaded the poor thing.

 

[gnmontey]

Frontier is listing them again.

Considering that Saddam himself carried a Hi-Power, that's not exactly a high praise for the Iraqi pistol...

I guess in the same way, since our troops are not carrying 50 year old Lee Enfields, it doesn't say much for them either.

IIRC the Beretta 951 single stack 9mm pistol, which essentially what these pistols are, is a highly regarded handgun.

NAA.

If our troops were carrying 70 year old Mausers instead, then yes.

Considering that Saddam himself carried a Hi-Power

and that's probably why he's dead!

Wasn't Saddam carrying a Glock when he was caught?

According to anti, pistols are considered WMD. Bush is officially vindicated.

Wasn't Saddam carrying a Glock when he was caught?

"And so when the library for George W. Bush opens in 2013 on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, visitors will most likely get to see one of his most treasured items: Saddam Hussein's pistol.

The gun, a 9 millimeter Glock 18C, was found in the spider hole where the Iraqi leader was captured in December 2003 by Delta Force soldiers, four of whom later presented the pistol to Mr. Bush. Among the thousands of gifts Mr. Bush received as president, the gun became a favorite, a reminder of the pinnacle moment of the Iraq war, according to friends and long-time associates."

But the gun that he was frequently photographed with while still in power is the BHP:
