THE Definitive Beretta Picture Thread

Some great looking guns here. I might as well share some of mine too.

The "Definitive Beretta" picture thread and not one picture of a Modello 1934? I am appalled.

Beretta then (1934) and Nanow (2012):



The Model 1934 .380/9mm Corto is my idea of a stunningly beautiful piece of work. It has a feel in the hand that is hard to rival. It's not my idea of a good carry pistol, though I carried it for years before modernizing myself. The Model '34 is also peculiar in the way it drops hot brass in the crease of your part, atop your skull, or inside the collar and down the back of your shirt. Best shot wearing a cap and top shirt button buttoned. I feel safer with the Nano in all respects but doubt I'll ever part with the '34. Dad carried the gun for over 50 years and gave it to me when he was 88. He was never in a hurry for anything.

There you go! To me, the title of "the definitive Beretta" would be a tie between the Modello 1934 and the M9/92-series.

My father-in-law, 78, gets waves of joyful serenity from handling the '34 and I think he gets hives from just seeing the Nano. He genuinely respects aesthetics as half of the utility of a firearm. I agree the '34 and '92 display the mechanical artistry of the nearly 500 year old Beretta firm.

(Aside: it's early in the game to argue the functionality or philosophy of the Nano but I see the form/design as another landmark. I think it is has an originality that's going to stand the test of time. I'll get back with you on that in 100 years.)

Let's see a Beretta in action!

Hey Shipwreck

No, I have two Shields, though. Huge Beretta fan - but do not like the NANO. Feels weird in the hand - too top heavy. LOVE the Shield!

[dondavis3]

I knew you had the shields & I knew you liked them - I do too.

I just don't own one - yet

I probably will tho

Beretta 92G-SD w/tac light. Very rare Beretta that is my favorite handgun. 9mm with no safety... only a decocker.

[stuartrodenberg]

All your pics are damn cool. I liked the grips as well!

[TAPnRACK]

Here's my sub compact Beretra PX4 (9mm).

Here's my sub compact Beretra PX4 (9mm).

very nice, i just picked up the 40 sub compact, you stated no safety on your previous pic .. wouldn't the decocker be your safety , I was assuming,, nice pics

[TAPnRACK]

I mentioned it because regular 92's have a saftey and not a decocker. A decocker is not a saftey... it simply drops the hammer without striking the rounds primer when your do not want to fire.

Hope I cleared that up.
