“Beretta USA is excited to introduce the PMXs to the US market finally,” Nicola Lorenzi, Pistol Product Manager, said. “The PMXs represent the evolution of the legendary PM12, widely adopted by military and law enforcement agencies around the world, and one of the guns used by the US Marines Corps to guard the US Embassy during the Tet Offensive in Vietnam. The PMXs inherit the reliability and durability of Beretta SMG platforms, being one of the few such platforms to be NATO Certified.”
Please note that adding a shoulder-mounted stock or pistol brace to the PMXs will convert that pistol into a short-barreled rifle requiring special licensing under U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regulations. Additional restrictions may also apply to imported pistols. For guidance on what is required to legally convert your PMXs into a short-barreled rifle, contact ATF at www.atf.gov/firearms/national-firearms-act-division.
