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.

Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2

Original Item: Only One Available. This is an American classic, first introduced in 1865 and produced continuously until 1892. The Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 was Smith & Wesson's second .32 caliber revolver, intended to combine the small size and convenience of the .22 caliber Model 1 with the larger caliber of the 6-shot "belt sized" Model 2, which was introduced in 1860. Chambered in .32 cal, its cylinder held 5 shots. It was produced in three varieties, termed "issues" by S&W, with total production exceeding 223,000. The First Issue Model 1 1/2 had an non-fluted cylinder and a flat bottomed "square" grip, and was chambered for .32 rimfire ammunition, and approximately 26,000 were produced. The majority were produced with ​3 1⁄2-inch barrels, however a less common 4-inch barrel variety was also sold. Models were available in blued or nickel-plated finishes. This is a nice strong example of the Model 1 1/2, 1nd Issue Revolver with a standad 3 1/2" barrel. Standard blued finish, now worn and faded, with rosewood grips. Produced by Smith and Wesson from 1865-1868, this was the firm's first iteration of the .32 rimfire tip-up, with a less streamlined look than the later second and third models. The original Smith & Wesson address and patent dates are still easily readable on the top strap:
