Her little sister's not bad lookin either...


92fs Compact Inox

Image


The compacts are a tad bit smaller than the full sized 92's which makes them a little easier to conceal. They never really caught on though 'cause they're still a bit wide in the hips! Great shooter though.

Here's my latest find...


92fs Compact Type M w/Centurion Slide

Image

Image

Image


This was a unique find in that the Centurion models were only made for a couple years (1992-97) and are pretty rare. They were built with a fullsized frame and a compact upper. The Compact Type M is also pretty hard to find and has a single stacked 8 round magazine and a much thinner frame. I found this pistol with a Compact Type M frame and a Centurion slide. It's been gently used and I can't imagine why anyone would want to get rid of it. Oh well, worked out for me! The Type M is MUCH easier to carry concealed due to the single-stacked mags and resulting thinner mag well..

I've always been a fan of mouseguns and Beretta has had some of the most unique designs out there...


Model 3032 Tomcat .32acp

Image


Model 21a Bobcat .22lr


Image


The tip-up barrel is what interested me in the models. It's a really unique feature that allows you to inspect the chamber at any time without having to manupulate the slide. +1 is a sinch, just pop a full mag in, drop a round into the open barrel, close it up, and you're ready to go. They're both loads of fun to shoot too!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it sitting in the used gun case at one of my local shops. It was a new shop and the first time I'd ever walked into the place too. I still can't imagine why someone would let it go, but I'm not complaining. Was such a great price I almost felt like I was doing something wrong when I bought it! I actually found the 92fs Compact Inox the same way. You never know what treasures you're gonna find when you walk into these places...

Here's a pic of my sole Beretta...bought used in 2003 from a friend who decided on something different two weeks later, and sold it to me at a loss for $300.

It's a 9000S series... a polymer framed design that retains traditional open top slide styling with modern materials in 9x19, and is a Type F ( double and single action operation and firing pin block safety, and external frame-mounted manual safety/decocking latches ). This firearm is unique in the Beretta line as it can be carried "cocked and locked". Included were two 12 round magazines, a Beretta cable lock, and original plastic carry case.

It's modern looks can be traced to a legendary Italian race car ( Lamborghini, Maserati, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo ) designer...Giorgetto Giugiaro

It is also a movie star...having been used by the Tom Cruise character in Minority Report.

Picked up another one!

Beretta 950bs Jetfire .25acp

Image

Image


Like my 3032 Tomcat and 21a Bobcat, the Jetfire features the signature tip-up barrel...

Image


However, the Jetfire is an older model with a single-action only trigger. Only produced for a few years, models with the nickel finish are a bit hard to come by, so when I found this little baby at my LGS there was no way I was leaving without it. It was a bit gunked up and came with the standard plastic factory grips, but that simply wouldn't do. I won the wood medallion grips on a gunbroker auction and put them on after a thorough stripping and cleaning. She turned out to be a real beauty!


Here it is with my other Beretta mousers...

Nice addition SNIPER...!!

The Bobcat (.22lr & .25acp)...yours is a .22lr

The Tomcat came in .32acp only...

The Jetfire came in .25acp, and was made between 1952-2003...what year is yours from ?

Early models (*950B* Pre-1968) do not have a safety lever, but do include a half-cock notch on the hammer. Later models (*950BS* Post-1968) are provided with an external safety lever (left-side thumb switch)

Not sure of the exact year yet, but I believe the nickel models were only made for two or three years in the early 80's. I'm on the hunt for a nickel 950b Minx .22 short next...
