I believe with the Berettas you can swap out the 380 or the 32 barrel and have yourself the other gunI've been tempted several times to pick up one from Classic. I did get one of the .32 versions (model number is escaping me at the moment) and it's DoggyMama's favorite. First time I took her shooting with it, she was cleaning the plate rack at my club right off the bat, and she's not an experienced shooter.
Edit: It was a Model 81.
That would be cool! I've been on the lookout for a 9mm Luger barrel for my CZ-52, but the only one I've found on Gunbroker went stupid high. It came down to me and one other guy bidding, and I bailed out at around $400... for a freaking barrel! I was pretty glad to lose that one.I believe with the Berettas you can swap out the 380 or the 32 barrel and have yourself the other gun
Straight blowbackI had an 84 (double stack version) for the wife for a while. fun and accurate but a ridiculous amount of felt recoil for .380 out of that heavy of a gun.
well aware of that and in spite of it. It's much harsher than the clone we still have (girsan/zenith/chiappa MC14) and CZ83. I've shot other blowback .380s. My TCP sucks less to shoot and while it's a locking design, it weighs less than a loaded 84 mag.Straight blowback
Agree! Great guns and such a good example of Beretta quality, craftsmanship, and beauty of design. IMHO...very few guns ever made (for sure mass produced) will ever have the sexy lines of the Berettas of this period...especially the 92's! Just plain beautiful!I have an 84 - Great gun. It was one of my 1st gun purchases to complement my 92F.
This, shown with xtra mag sourced elsewhere.$30.00 hand pick??? What do you get without it?
