Helwan 9MM Berreta copy

[zx12rider]

I am thinking about add one of these to my "single stack collection". Are they worth $150 (with holster)? Any info on this gun would be appreciated. I probably won't carry the gun but I'm not ruling it out as it seems slim and compact.

The quality if often mediocre. However, the design is solid. I looked at them for a while, but with the fall in prices, you can get a near new 92 model for about a $100.00 more.

Got one, quality isn't the greatest but it works.
Don't pay to much "whatever that is".

I thought the Helwan 9MM was a product Egypt.

Every gun site is full of threads about Helwans. Do a bit of searching and you will find all the info you seek.

For chuckles and grins, the Egyptians now produce a copy of the Beretta 92S and I have been informed that a batch was imported a few years back by Century Arms.
The quality is supposed to be better than the Helwans.
