Hey all

With my stimulus check I’m going to get another Beretta surplus pistol but have to decide between a 1951 or a 81. Both have strengths and weaknesses. IE... one has a double stack magazine while one is 9mm Luger. One extra mags will be easier while one won’t be. What do you guys think?
 
Personally I prefer 32acp over 9mm if I am considering a defensive carry handgun for the greater control, accuracy and repeatability when under stress. Functionally the 1951 is a single action while the 81 is a traditional DA/SA.

BUT, of my Beretta 32acps I find I tend to carry the 1935 and my New Puma more often than my Cheetah.
