Beretta Model 1919 6.35mm Pocket Pistol

Description

8/20/25 - The Beretta Model 1919 is a compact blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol chambered in 6.35mm (.25 ACP), produced by Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta from 1919 to 1936. Based on the earlier Beretta Model 1915, it was simplified for civilian and police use, featuring an exposed barrel, open-top slide, and distinctive cross-bolt safety in the frame. Its small size and smooth contours made it ideal for pocket carry, and it quickly became popular in Italy and abroad for personal defense. Approximately 10,400 were produced over its manufacturing run, making it less common than later Beretta pocket pistols. Known for its high-quality machining and reliability, the Model 1919 is now a desirable collectible for those interested in early Beretta designs and interwar European handguns. This one has been re-blued and shows very little sign of wear. Fitted with "PB" marked metal grips and comes with one magazine. The rifling in the bore is fairly worn with pitting throughout.
