Thumbs up

I recently acquired a 1938 Beretta 1934. It is also stamped "RE" for Royal Army. What is amazing is that Beretta produced this model up through 1990! That is a long run. I enjoy it for what it is, a historical novelty and fun to play with 380acp. They seem very well built. The downside is the 10+lb trigger and the hard to reach safety. My biggest frustration is the design of the last round slide hold open that is a groove in the magazine follower?! This prevents rapid mag changes, well, at least for me.
I still love the gun and I am sure you will enjoy yours.
