1936 M34 Beretta Full Rig

[majspud]

Picked this one up today off GB. Owner lives in state, so with school cancelled son and I took a road trip. Early full rig, no excuses, very tight action, great bore, and the Italian holster is in good shape. Crown/RE Army proof. Slide is a little more worn than the rest of the gun. Now my M35 7.65 Beretta - a papered bring back from North Africa - has a friend.

Valentine's Day present from the wife.

Nice little gun. It's one of those in life I've always wanted but never had. I did have a 951 for a while though...

This will replace the 7.65 as my carry gun; the fit is perfect for my hand, nothing new, and a decent caliber.

The pair; the M35 is Air Force proofed.

Quick range trip to shoot two mags of 95gr. Prvi JHP. About 25 feet, 34 degrees, overcast, gloves. Pistol functioned fine, save second magazine is very snug and hard to remove. I had to help close the slide twice; I'll pick up a second spare one. Nice recoil, first shot was in the red.

Camera broke last night; pic from my wife's iPhone.

You may need a better recoil spring to help the slide issue. Not too sure where to get one that's as new...everything looks acceptable.

Wolff has a spring kit for it; I think that the second magazine has fit issues.

I have a 950 B with mag fit problems on a spare I picked up. I had to lap it with a fine file until it fit. Now it's perfect, but it's silver. Sometimes Wolfe springs are on the strong side...just sayin'...
