Handguns Descriptions
Beretta 90-TWO
The newly designed frame of 90two pistol ensures trouble-free insertion and holster extraction, thanks to its rounded and truly snag-free surfaces. Inside the frame, near the disassembly lever, a metallic recoil buffer reduces the impact of the slide assembly against the frame during the shooting cycle. By redistributing the stresses, the recoil buffer increases the service life of the firearm. Trigger guard is also rounded to ensure, when firing with two hands, the correct positioning of the supporting hand.
FN Barracuda
The Barracuda was FN's first and only venture into manufacturing revolvers. FN manufactured the Barracuda from 1974-1989. Most of the Barracuda's were made in the 1970's. It was a solid frame, double action revolver with a swing out cylinder and fixed sights. A sturdy if unspectacular revolver. It was only manufactured with a three inch barrel. A 9mm Parabellum cylinder was also manufactured for the Barracuda. The 9mm rounds required a full moon or half-moon clip in order to load in the 9mm cylinder. The Barracuda saw some use by by police and private security, but it appeared just as the semi-automatic handgun was beginning to take over the police market. Consequently it wasn't the success that FN had hoped for. Every so often used specimens are found for sale in the United States for very reasonable prices. More often than not the .357 magnum cylinder is installed and the 9mm cylinder is nowhere to be found.
