Berretta .22 Short Semi-Aiuto - The Firearms Forum

Torque · 12-24-2010, 08:41 PM

I have a Berretta with Made In Italy stamped on right side of the slide, P.Berretta-cal.22corto-Brev.950 on the left side of the slide, hammer, 2 inch barrell, barrell breaks to load one round & a 6-shot magazine inserts into bottom side of black plastic or hard rubber grip with a magazine release push button near the grip bottom on left side. The grip also has a 1/2 inch round, white metal in-laid button on both sides near the bottom which has a very ornate script that appears to have the letters PB in it. It has PSF engraved over the number 1957 just beneath the hammer on the left side, possibly a personal identification?

The only serial No. is located on the right side above the trigger guard and is: 75117CC.

This is gun is in very good shape, fully operative, and can be held in the palm of a small hand! Any info, including mfg date(s) and approx value will be appreciated....TKS...Torque

You have an early Beretta 950 "Minx" in .22 short caliber. Very nice, accurate, and reliable little gun. It was made in, wait for it!..................1957.
Good pictures are necessary to evaluate condition.
