Italy’s Carabinieri Buys 1,000 Beretta PMX Submachine Guns

This contract with the Italian state is worth $1 million to the company, but there’s a sense of pride that goes with supplying the nation’s armed police, too.

The Carabinieri is an Italian institution and has kept its people safe since 1814. It is one of four parts of the Italian armed forces. The others are the Army, Navy and Air Force and between them they have more than 100,000 troops.

We’ve got some other options if you’re looking for a 9mm AR pistol. Always think about a nice 300 Blackout pistol too, if you’re bulk buying…

Consider a Beretta PX4 Storm sidearm while you here. And also look at how the US military is looking to change caliber completely.
