Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 No. It's a MAT 49 with front accessory handle. Coffinmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knot Hardly Dunn, SASS 43113 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Also looks a lot like a Baretta Model 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Hand Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I believe it's a MAT 49, a good reliable (but heavy) SMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Wikipedia under National (French) Police Arms says that they went from Manhurin semi-auto pistols in the 1960s to large bore revolvers, including the Ruger SP-101 !!!! Sounds a bit Back to the Future to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Whoa...at $25K a pop, that's pricey for a 9MM. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/foghorn/gun-review-beretta-model-12/ I do like the silencer, though.....
