A couple of surplus Italian issue pistols

[1srelluc]

Right:

A 1988 Beretta 84BB....It's in .380....14 shot....Issued to the Guardia di Finanza....The Italian version of the IRS.

Left:

A 1971 Beretta M1934, .380, regular Italian .mil issue till 1992.

I always wanted a Beretta 84 but could never justify the $400+ cost of the civilian version given it's just a .380......$250.00 I could sorta justify.

i have a 9 mm beretta that looks like the one on the right. I even do all the reloading on it. Pistol reloading is a lot harder than rifle reloading. At least for me it is

Carried a Beretta 9mm in Afghanistan. Looked a lot like the one on the left.

I suspect it was a Beretta M9.

I own a WWII vintage M1934. Pretty sweet little pistol.

Did you ever think there might be a reason they lost the war so quickly? Just sayin' ...

I have a '43 "blank slide".

After the fall of the Fascist Party the King of Italy resumed full power, and the war continued.

Nobody knew what future would be and the slides of the guns were left "blank" because of the uncertain situation.
