When did Beretta start making 9mm pistols?

One of Marengoni’s best-known products, the Modello 1934 pistol chambered for 9mm Corto (.380 ACP), was adopted by the Italian Army in 1934 and will remain in military and police service for nearly four decades. In the post-World War II 1950s, Beretta commissioned Signor Marengoni to design a pistol chambered for 9mm parabalam cartridges.
