Those Berettas are good pistols, I'd like to have a 418 myself.

wlyon · 01-24-2018, 01:23 PM

Or in my purse whichever is handier. Bill

Douglas Jr. · 01-24-2018, 01:29 PM

Bill, these are cool.
Congratulations!

rhuff · 01-24-2018, 02:57 PM

That looks to be a really dandy!! Will it be a shooter, or just a "keeper"??

Edward Tinker · 01-24-2018, 03:08 PM

That is a nice gun!

Just a keeper. I have 20+ 25's. Not sure why but. Bill

Edward Tinker · 01-25-2018, 01:47 PM

Bill, I like .25's, but they don't stay long, have kept a Simson, a Mauser or two and this Sauer

Nice. I like your Audley holster. Bill

rhuff · 01-25-2018, 02:10 PM

I only own one(1) 25cal auto. It is a cheap Italian made auto that was given to me by a police officer in the early 1970s. He had taken it off of some "bad guy". It was in sad condition with no grips and no finish. I made new grips, and had it chrome plated(that was common in the 1960-70s). It turned out looking acceptable, and does actually perform fine. I have not shot it in decades.

Edward Tinker · 01-25-2018, 02:11 PM

I had never seen an Audley holster for this small and tried to just buy it. He said, no, you can have both for $300 (or less I don't remember) and also bought a luger audley and a 1911 audley from him at the same time.

DonVoigt · 01-25-2018, 03:21 PM

The Audley is a good idea for a .25, pretty secure!

ruff,
I'll bet your .25 is a Titan, if it has a hammer. They are bullet proof, cheap but work. Some had the FIE name.

Very nice little Beretta. Seems you can never go wrong with Beretta, especially the older ones. I carried a Beretta 1934 for awhile, was always 100% functional.

No hammer. It looks to be a replica of the little Browning pocket 25cal. Quite small, but hefty in weight as it is all steel.
