Default Beretta with Brazilian flair

I’ve always liked the little pop-up Beretta 950 series guns. I had one years ago, the discrete display of which saved me a lot of trouble one night. I sold that one to a friend and somehow never replaced it until this one beckoned from the display case a couple of weeks ago.

Its a 950B - no thumb safety - made in Brazil when Beretta had a plant there, which was later sold off to Taurus.

I think the grips are Altamonts. I like them.

I went to a rural Wal Mart when they were getting rid of all of their evil handgun ammo. All that was left were ten boxes of Winchester .25 ACP FMJ. The guy said they were 5 bucks a box if I took them all, which I did.

I’m not one to scoff at the lowly .25 Auto. I’ll be breaking in this DeSantis pocket holster while I prowl the mean streets of my crime-free little town.

That's cool!!! I've always wanted one of those little shooters, but I've never actively looked for one.

As far as .25Auto, I'm sure there are a lot of folks who got sent to "Brazil", if you know what I mean, by that little round!

Cool little gun!

Good little guns and you got a great price on the ammo.

.25 a.c.p. is often maligned due to the tiny frame firearms it usually comes in. I briefly had a HK4 set years ago and the .25 configuration shot fine.
