Yes, I noticed the article traced its design back through the Walther P38 and something back in the early 1900's.
It wasn't even new to Beretta just a double column model 1951 Brigadier.

No, the 951 Brigadier was a Single Action design and used a cross bolt safety.  Its more of a double stacked P38, open slide, same locking block, slide mounted safety, orginal mag release was on the butt of the 92, both have a loaded chamber indicator (different locations) and same DA trigger design.  The M9 is more of a P38 on steroids then anything else, but did evolve from both designs.

 I hate that mag release on the butt thing, that and the grip angle turned me off the P 38.
(I realize they changed it on the M9, I'm just saying)

I owned an 92SB bought in '82, first unit with the standard mag release button.  I enjoyed the gun but it was pretty heavy to carry on my skinny frame back then..

tack driver though....

MP38?

A good top 10 "Land mark" long arms list would be interesting as well.  The one's I've seen on TV have been pretty weak.   :(

Of course the BAR, Mauser, AR  ::), and AK would be on there, without looking in books I'm not sure about others.  STG44, Mossberg 500, Remington 870, FAL, M1, Remington 700?   :-\

Dare I throw the 91/30 on there?!?   ;D  I think it holds a record for highest numbers in production ever.  And who couldn't love a 2 part trigger assembly?!?   :)
