beretta

I have an old Beretta Tomcat (manufactured in 1997, I bought it used). The firing pin is broken. The retainer pin in the slide that holds it in place is approximately 1mm diameter (approximately 0.040"). I do not have a 1mm punch. I have tried thin drill bits, grinding down the diameter of a...

I have been researching both the Beretta PX4 Storm models, and the Stoeger Cougar series. The information I have discovered suggests that these pistols are identical copies nearly except the material in the frame. Stoeger uses aluminum while Beretta is using polymer. I also have read and...

Found a nice (to me) 1934 made in 36. Its a really nice little 380! Yet looking at this thing, I found it interesting it has such a long service life. The swing over safety is very strange to me, makes me wonder how the Italians carried it for so long? I would not think it safe to carry cocked...

I bought a Beretta 1301 Tactical from Langdon Tactical. It is the best shotgun I have ever had. That isn’t a lot of shotguns, but is a fine shotgun. Ernest Langdon does a great job of these guns.

OK, I know they're two different animals. But still... I already own the LTT Elite 92 (full size) tricked out straight from Langdon with his famous trigger job, NP3 parts upgrade, and custom cut/crowned flush barrel. She really is a work of art. Also, I already own the Nighthawk Custom...

I was looking at old pocket .25 guns and noticed between the 950, 950BS, and the 21A there was another model called 20. I read somewhere it was a prototype 21 per say. It was the transition gun between the 950 and 21A main difference being one is SAO and the other is DA yes? I think the 20...

I’m cutting it off at snubby level for my definition of "pocket pistol," and my 642 may be too large to qualify as that although it can fit in pockets. I don't consider 9mm and larger subcompacts to be true pocket pistols. Pictured: Beretta Tomcat .32 ACP S&W Bodyguard .380 ACP S&W 642 .38...

Has anyone had nay experience with warranty for Beretta or CZ? I've heard great things about Sig and S&W which both carry a lifetime warranty, and Glock even though officially onky 1 year if you pay for shipping it's basically a lifetime warranty as well.

I received a new firearm borescope for Christmas. It has been really interesting looking at all my firearm barrels and learning how to use the new tool. It has its own screen and can be used without needing to use other devices like my phone. One interesting find I had is on my Beretta 686...

I'm thinking about picking up a Beretta Bobcat or Tomcat just for kicks. The sole question here is reliability. Stopping power isn't a factor. This pistol is just a plinker, a fun gun, not a self defense pocket pistol, not a woods gun, not a small game pistol. With that out of the way, which...

Hi all, I've been looking at the Tomcats and similar for a long time, and for some reason wanted a .32 ACP. Almost all of the used ones I had seen in gun shops were $3-400, and new ones are going for more than that. I was at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday looking at hiking backpacks and...

I am in the midst of processing a 1000-lot of 1xF 40S&W cases. (First time loading 40S&W) After I sorted for head stamps I had a bunch of R-P cases, and some (17 out of 224) had glock-bulge. Ran them all through my new G-Rx die. The guppy belly is gone, but there is still a 'frown' (groove)...

Hello, I made some Kydex holsters for the Beretta M1951. What do you think?

Hello, I am new to this thread, or to any thread really. I am hoping I can get a little bit of help from at least a few people here on the slide thickness of the Beretta M1951. Does anyone have a micrometer to measure what they get for the thickness of their slides along with the year of...

I have a friend that is just starting to shoot pistol. The LGS has a Walther p22 for him which looks good. They also have an inexpensive Egyptian Helwan Maadi Beretta Clone with one magazine. - Is it any good ? - Does it take Beretta mags or do the mags take a common spring ?

With all the Beretta 81s available recently, I think that there are a lot more folks carrying Cheetahs these days. Anyone been especially happy with a particular model or brand of IWB holster for their Cheetah? I believe that the .32 ACP 81, 82 and .380 ACP 84, 85 can all use the same...

So as the subject says, my father unfortunately passed away recently, and he was a long time gun enthusiast. As per his wish, he wanted me to inherit his guns. Problem is, I've only gone to the range twice, and don't know anything really about guns, nor do I have a wild interest in owning many...

Sometimes it surprises me what people will do. In any case I ended up with a new to me Beretta 391 Teknys 12ga today. Goes well beside my old 390 I think. Been cleaning and rubbiing on it all afternoon. I don't think the gas system had ever been cleaned, A little soaking and it came out...

Ok im sure we've all heard about this one. "Your not a seal until youv eaten italian steel", the whole situation with beretta and their m9 slides failing at the junction causing part of the slide to break off and bust the shooter in the face. I know there were 14 incidents, 3 of 14 were in the...

I am aware that this is a blowback gun; thus, it has more felt recoil than locked-breech guns AND it is not easy to rack the pistol’s slide. I have searched for several options, the most logical one is to replace the recoil spring; however, I’m afraid it will have a negative effect on the...
