The single-sided, non-ambidextrous safety also incorporated a decocking function.

On the 92S, the safety was removed from the frame and moved up to a slide-mounted location.
#Beretta serial lookup update#
Beretta Italy Lookup Update And ModifyĪnd, as the years passed, Beretta would update and modify the design further. While this location was common on many of Berettas pistols, it is unique to say the least to many American shooters. However, the magazine releases location was similar to that of the 951 (and many other earlier Beretta designs, excluding, of course, the Models 81 and 84 in.32 ACP and.380 ACP respectively, which featured DASA triggers, double-column magazines and telegraphed what was to come with the new Model 92). The slide release was equally traditional in its location and design. It incorporated increased ammunition capacity through the use of a double-column magazine and the application of a double-actionsingle-action (DASA) system of trigger operation.Īnd, at the time of its introduction, this was a revolutionary combination of features (trail-blazed by the equally influential Czech CZ 75 series).Ĭontrols of the earliest Model 92 pistols consisted of a non-ambidextrous, frame-mounted safety similar in location and design to that of the 1911. To address this, Berettas engineers took a fresh look at the 951 design. The 951s SA operation and single-column magazine were becoming a bit dated and Beretta wanted to incorporate a double-action (DA) trigger system and a double-column magazine, among other enhancements. However, while unquestionably an advanced and capable gun at the time of its appearance in the 1950s, by the 1970s Beretta began to look at updating the design. This is the system you see in modern Beretta 92 pistols through to today.

To address the more powerful 9mm chambering, the production model of the 951 featured a modified Walther P.38-style locking system in which a swinging block located under the barrel locks into recesses cut into the slide. Sorry for rambling but this is like finding the Holy Grail for me.The 951 was developed as an answer to this situation and was chambered for the 9x19mm (9mm) cartridge. I believe this relative purchased the gun while in Italy and brought it back to the states as the box was wrapped with tamper-proof tape with an Italian sporting goods name on it. The receiver and barrel were each in a red cloth sock in the original box. Would love to take the tag out of the pouch but the pouch is sealed. The tag is clear plastic with some sort of a "certificate" inside it in Italian lettering.

If I am looking at the chart correctly, this gun was manufactured in 1967? The gun appears to have never been fired and still has tags hanging from the trigger.
#Beretta serial lookup code#
The code on the underside of the barrel is "XXIII". Must say this forum is nothing short of fantastic and a wealth of information. Been researching for several days to find out more info about this gun. Having never owned a long gun more than a 22 and a Remington 1100, I was almost afraid to touch this beautiful masterpiece. Just purchased a Beretta SO3 EELL from a relatives estate along with several other Remingtons. Hello all.I am a newb at this so please bear with me.
