Beretta Model 1934 Fieldstrip?

Hi:

Your will find a lot of the "war models" with well pitted barrels. It seems that there was not a lot of maintenance by the individuals owning them.

This model was made well into the mid sixties, 1966. I believe.

It was the original James Bond, 007, pistol, until replaced with the PPK.

There was also a .22 version made, the Model 948, with an aluminum frame. I owe two M34s and two M948s.

The hammer bite I mentioned is that nasty little bite to the web of the hand by the hammer. the gloves you mentioned will take care of the problem, however.

These are a lot of fun to shoot, but don't expect precision accuracy with them.

A little story for you. My Dad bought his 948 in 1953. He was back in the country at Mom's father's farm and they need a chicken to cook for supper.

Dad appeared at the back door and drew the 948 for the kill. My grandfather asked him if here were crazy, attempting the 50 yard shot with a handgun.

With one shot, Dad took the top of the chicken's head off. There were no further questions regarding Dad's marksmenship that evening.

I was wondering myself on how to disassemble one as I also bought one a couple of weeks ago. The safety simply "falls out" right? Am I correct also that the recoil spring "rides" on the safety? Thanks, "newbe on the Beretta", Kelly
