• Egypt: Special Egyptian Contract guns marked with National crest. Later licensed by Maadi and produced as the Helwan.
• Haiti
• Iraq: Manufactured under license as the Tariq by Al-Qādisiyyah Establishments. The internal design appears identical to the original pistols, and the primary external differences are the Arabic stamping on the slide and the warrior emblem (the medieval Arab warrior Tariq ibn Ziyad—who invaded Spain in 711 A.D.) on the grip. Gold-plated guns were produced for presentation and some pistols have special inscriptions. The Tariq pistol is currently in service with the Iraqi Police, and was in service with the standard pistol Iraqi Armed Forces and the Republican Guard; pistols issued to Saddam Hussein's Private Police have a special marking on the frame.
