    1935 Beretta

    Auction from Hell had one of these recently which got me interested in them. Fit my hand perfectly and as I always have a bit of trouble with small pistols I figured it could be a conceal carry pistol on the rare occasions I do so. The auction lived up to it's reputation and it went very high. I spotted this one on Gunbroker the same day and after researching and checking condition opted to bid on it. Won the auction for $230 less than the Hell auction Basically same pistol, same condition so I'm pleased. Mike is currently holding it for me so I can't take better photos. Hoping to have it next weekend.

    This is a 1944 production Germanicon contract pistol, late war rough finish. Appears to be in good condition which Mike confirmed. Did not have a magazine but I was able to find an original one for $30. 7.65 Browning.



















    Magazine is not in as good of condition as the pistol but it will do until I can find another. Most guys are asking $70 for them.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    One of the guns I always wanted but never had. Now they're prohibited status here so harder to find and own. Always liked them...in 380...

    That's too bad. Seems an over reaching ban due to being the same caliber as "cheap" handguns. James Bond couldn't carry in Canadaicon.

    In the sixth picture from the top, it looks like there is a large space below the barrel where it fits in the end of the slide. Can you comment? Is it the image or the gun? Thanks.

    That's normal, it's to allow for stripping. The barrel is struck from the front to disengage and then comes out the top. This opening allows that flexibility. Have a look at a few online, you'll see they're all the same.

    Finally met up with Mike and picked it up. It's in better condition than I expected. Looks like it may not have ever been used. Almost no wear on the finish and the springs are extremely tight. I suspect the magazine I purchased as a 1935 was actually a 1934 but with some polishing I was able to make it fit. In the meantime, I found another one that has a positive ID. Barrel matches also. Had no reason to suspect it wouldn't but it was a minor concern.

    Took it to the range today. Lot of guys there so I only fired one magazine as the primary purpose today was getting my daughter started on her gun. Worked flawlessly and handled great and I hit the plates six out of six. Very happy with it. Then spent the next 20 minutes showing it off to the guys not shooting. Real bitch to get the magazines in and out. Definitely not for rapid fire quick change. I didn't pay attention to where the brass was going but I didn't find it where I expected it to be, to the side and slightly to the rear. Might have been going over my head.
