Beretta Pistole 38

Thirty eight?

I meant to say 1951!


It's a Beretta model 1951, aka M1951, aka M951, aka Brigadier.  This one is a late '50's police contract gun made for (and refurbished by) Israel.  It's led a hard life.


Damage notwithstanding, it's a shooter.  Single stack nine with 8+1 shots.  Just over 2.2 lb. loaded.


Take-Apart is simple.  Pull the slide back so the half-moon is lined up with the latch and rotate the latch up into it.  Then pull the slide off the front.


There seems to be a lack of original on this design in some ways.

The trigger sure looks Spanish to me...


Das Schloss spricht auf jeden Fall Deutsch.

    Saw this the day you posted, but have been too busy to comment.

    This is cool as hell! I love beat-up old workhorses that function as intended. This gun screams "tool", and I dig that.
