Love those little Beretta pocket pistols. Like some other commenters have mentioned, they also made them in .32 caliber. I have one that's in .22 (the model 948) from 1954.
Bought 1934 380 in1960 ...In my belt 1975 to 2005...Was a comfort ...Either hand..What few folks know is what makes it a good CC pistol ..IT HAS A HALF COCK SAFETY..& can carry with one in the pipe & safety OFF....Lower hammer CAREFULLY...& pull back ONE click Trigger is locked..& hammer is back slightly..PUT IN BELT..Pull hammer back all the way & SHOOT...Try it you'll fall in love all over again.....R.P.
I also have a Beretta M1934 in 9mm Corto (.380). It is a very cool handgun and shoots very nicely. The only thing I don't like is that the magazine holds the slide back on the last round and the magazine release is a pressure style design which makes reloading a pain. Nonetheless, it is a classic and a beauty!
@DrShakalu619 re stands for royal army... but in Italian i think regio esercrito. on the other side it should have the stamp fag for factory of arms of gardone Fabbrica d'Armi Gardone .
@DrShakalu619 RE = Regio Esercito. Yours is a WW2 Italian Army issued Beretta. Likely a Military Police. Congratulations on owning a nice piece of military history.
Mine is all original too and I shoot it all the time.
I traded it off to my brother for several years then traded again to get it back.
When I got it back from him the slide return spring was weak so I brought a whole new spring kit from some gun parts web site. It was right around fifteen bucks for the whole kit at that time.
hey i have one of those
