The first double-action pistol made by Beretta, the Model 90, was produced at a new facility in Rome, not at the main factory in Gardone. In regular production it was made only in the 32 ACP chambering, a fact which limited sales in the United States. It fared better in Europe, where 32 ACP is considered an adequate caliber for police and personal defense use. Mechanically, the Model 90 is a total departure from traditional Beretta design. The internal mechanism is close to the Walther/Sauer pattern but has notable Beretta differences.
