MAB PA-15 Pistol

[Bashabasher]

Why isnt this handgun popular and why did its production cease?

Just asking becouse it is not so old, Takes 15 9mm Luger rounds, Has a Block Trigger and is hardwearing in construction.

Dont know why the French have replaced it with the berreta 92F which has the same performance

Dont know for sure but it is possibly because of cost and maintenance ?
Maybe even because of some corrupt arms minister who was given a back handed payment to accept the berretta ? :eek:
