Analysis

This is the first Beretta to use the 1919 barrel mount in a .25 Auto pocket pistol. The long slide cut is the same idea as on the .32 Auto 1915/19, but on a smaller gun, and the backstrap grip safety is part of this model. Commercial production ran through the mid-1930s. The 318 continued the serial range after that, with a more streamlined grip frame, and is a separate model. Magazines and the grip panels are the usual missing pieces.
