The arms dealer WH e.K. offers:Semi-automatic  Beretta M1934,  9 mm Short (380 Auto), Luftwaffe/Heer     The Beretta M1934 is a self-loading pistol of Italian production. The short firearm developed by Beretta in the 1930s, featuring the characteristic finger rest at the bottom of the grip, was used during World War II in all branches of the Italian armed forces and was also supplied to the country's police. Over a million pistols were manufactured by 1980. While the Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta can look back on a centuries-old tradition as a gunsmith, the company only achieved significant success with its pistols starting in the 1920s. The Beretta M1934, with its comparatively weak cartridge of caliber 9 × 17 mm (.380 ACP), eventually became the standard weapon of the Regio Esercito, the Italian army. The nearly identical Beretta M1935 in caliber 7.65 mm was issued to the Navy (Regia Marina) as well as to the Air Force (Regia Aeronautica). The demand was so immense that only a few specimens reached the civilian market or were exported. This only happened after the war. After the production ceased in 1980, a few thousand Berettas were manufactured for collectors in 1990/91. The 9 mm Beretta has only a mass lock and no locked breech like pistols with the significantly stronger Parabellum caliber 9 × 19 mm. The ammunition used in the Beretta M1934, 9 × 17 mm, is indeed less powerful than the Parabellum cartridge; however, the bullet effect is sufficient for a self-defense weapon. Additionally, the muzzle velocity of 295 m/s is below the speed of sound, allowing a silencer to be used without special ammunition. The M1934 was relatively complex to manufacture for military standards but proved to be very robust and reliable. Manufacturer: Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A., Gardone Val Trompia, Italy ([email protected])Model:  M1934Type of weapon: unlocked mass lockCaliber: 9 mm Short, .380 Autoblack and reddish-brown bluedas far as visible, matching numbersvalid proofused condition, worn with noticeable signs of useplastic grip panels with Beretta logono foreign stampswith lanyard loop* Take the opportunity to view in the store.
