[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4377649, member: 13337"] Well I went to see and fire the little mouse gun,,, Turns out it wasn't a Model 21A It is a "Model 950 B - Cal 6.35" The biggest difference is that it is Single-Action Only,,, And there's no manual safety. From Wikipedia: Early models (*950* and *950B* Pre-1968) do not have a safety lever, employing an inertial [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_pin']firing pin[/URL] for safe hammer-down carry instead (the half cock notch is not for carry and could cause the gun to fire if dropped on the hammer). Later models (*950BS* Post-1968) are provided with an external safety lever.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_950#cite_note-Ayoob2011-2'][2][/URL][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_950#cite_note-Wilson2008-3'][3][/URL] The "950BS" stands for "Brevettato Sicurezza", meaning "patented safety" in Italian. I was a bit chagrined at it not being a 21A but tried it anyway,,, I ran two mags with no problems at all,,, The pistol performed great. And at about 15 feet I kept all 16 rounds in the head of a silhouette target,,, Which I considered good what with my shaky hands,,, And the pistol being so small. The asking price was not out of reach,,, And he threw in 5 full and 1 partial box of cartridges,,, At current prices that is at least $150.00 worth of ammunition. So I didn't even mention anything about the pistol being a 950B instead of a 21A,,, I handed the gentleman our agreed upon price,,, Shook his hand and we went for lunch. He paid the range fee so that I could test the functionality,,, So I reciprocated and paid for our lunch. We had some good conversation,,, And both left happy with the deal we had made. I give Btown the "Aarond H. Graham - Stamp of Approval" Aarond . [/QUOTE]
