I was at my favorite local gun shop Friday, and found that they had been keeping a nice little M1934 Beretta safe and warm, just waiting for someone like me to show up. It's a commercial model, and it's had a fairly cushy existence from the looks of it. Very little bluing wear, clean and clear markings, and very tight all over.

There is a very distinct mark on the tang from making contact with the hammer spur when fired. I also noticed in this light something I'd not noticed when I bought it. Someone has apparently used an improper tool (hammer?) to adjust or remove and replace the rear sight. It's a tad dinged.



Both magazines have apparently been in n' out a lot. The heal type mag release drags on the rear surface of the magazines.



There are small amounts of bluing wear on the squared edges, and from the looks of things, the incorrect tools used more than once. The grip screws are a bit buggered.




All in all I'm very happy with it. It's a good shooter and it's still shiny and pretty; no more wear that I would expect to have on anything within the first year or so.
