...and the 92 Compacts...
...and the tip-up pocket guns...
Yeah man, they're lookin mighty fine!
Don't know much about jigs, but I've got a few extra sets of factory plastic 92 grips layin around it you need something for a template...

The Tomcat is nice.
A bit on the snappy side, kinda feels like a firecracker going off in your hand. I'd steer clear of older used blued Tomcat models though 'cause they're notorious for cracked frames. My absolute favorite of the bunch is the little .25acp Jetfire. With the SA trigger it blows my mind how silly accurate it can be. I can always find .25acp ammo on the shelves too...

Well, the Beretta Gods have smiled on me once again.
Walked into my LGS today and there sat an early U.S. production blued 950BS Minx .22 Short. Importation of these little boogers from Italy was banned in '68. There were a good many produced in Brazil that were imported into the States as well. Production began in the U.S. in 1978 in the Firearms International factory in Accokeek, Maryland which soon after became the home of Beretta U.S.A. Inc.. My slide is stamped Beretta on one side and 'made by F.I. Ind.' on the other. It's a pretty rare find and is easily in 95% condition with the only notable wear being on the magazine and plastic factory grips. Have a set of rosewood panels on the way. The bore has a mirror polish and the rifling is absolutely beautiful. This .22 short Minx rounds out the collection of Beretta tip-up pocket guns for me. Was really hoping for a polished nickel finish, but there's no way I could pass this one up without regretting it later...

Very nice!
New rosewood grips for the Minx arrived today...
This one was made in 1978...
Yes Sir, the Minx is .22 Short.
I love these little Beretta mouse guns for their signature tip-up barrels...
Here are a couple others...
- 3032 Tomcat .32acp
- 950bs Jetfire .25acp
- 21a Bobcat .22lr

Very late to the game.
I've always like the beretta 92's in all their assorted flavors, but I finally picked up a decent 92FS Centurion from a friend of mine.
It's smooth as butter. I don't hesitate to acknowlege the smoothest semi-auto I own.
According to Beretta's serial number date indicator, was released in very early 1995 with factory trijicon night sights, and the mag is dated the day after the Clinton AWB was enacted.
This one is now wearing a ReCover grip that adds a light rail and a standard length M9 surplus barrel that I threaded so I can use my can on it.
A few little interior tweaks such as wolf trigger spring the 92 D spring to lighten the pull.
Nice little shooter. Slide feels like it's on roller bearings.
