The history of the company, which operates in the metalworking industry, dates back to 1526 with an order for arquebuses by the Republic of Venice. Finally, the name was given to Pietro (I.) Antonio Beretta in 1791 who had an equally formative influence on the future of the Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta. The current form of Beretta Holding SA is one of the largest producers of hunting and sporting weapons in the world. Beretta itself has always been family-run through the generations. When Pietro (II) Beretta took over in 1903, it marked the beginning of a new era of international growth. In addition to a considerable range of public orders for government users. Famous for their service pistols, such as the Beretta 92 in various versions, they received the US Army's equipment contract in 1985 (M9 model). No less famous are the hunting and sporting shotguns, which are represented in almost every competition and have helped numerous participants to victory. The SO series sidelock o/u shotguns are the most built of their kind.
