Beretta 950B .22 short pistol

[Sharps '63]

Got a line on a real little cutey .... a Beretta 12(6) 950B. It's 'as new' c/w spare mag.

Do I need it? -no. Do I want it? - hell, yes!

What's it worth?

There is one for sale now on the EE for $300 and it hasn't sold yet so I would say no more than $300 and probably less, prohibs keep going down in price as the 12(6) people like us decline in numbers. Neat little pistol though.

I own one. Bought it new in the early 1980's from Lebaron for $119. So I guess $300 is not bad considering you can't get these anymore.

I have a Beretta model 1948 with the long barrel which makes it restricted. Very similar to the 950B but it isn't a tip up barrel. I paid $275.00 for it a year ago. It came with 2 8 round magazines. I would love to get some more magazines for it if anyone has any ideas.

Great gun, very accurate and cheap fun to shoot in .22lr. I wish I had a 12.6. I would love a 950B. Enjoy yours!

I always wanted to get one of these, but since the CFO has restricted our handgun range to shooting no closer than 10m. from target, it would be totally impractical.
Got a couple of .25's and 32's with short barrels, and am lucky to get it on paper, even at such a short range.
But if we could legally take them out bushwackin', they'd be great fun.

Your range sounds lame...

i paid 125 for mine, but only have one mag with it. Neat little pistol, doesn't get shot much, but fun to pull out occasionally

Thanks guys!

Saw a couple of good videos on these little guns. One said that the current US price NIB would be $180. Those in .25 ACP would command more. Considering the cost of .25 ACP ammo, the .22 Short version makes sense.
Recommended loading procedure - insert loaded mag; pop up barrel, insert cartridge; lock barrel back in place. Unload in reverse. Said to reduce likelihood of an AD with such a small gun, particularly for people with large paws.

In one video, the guy lets his daughter shoot it and she puts her supporting hand where it got bit by the slide. She won't do that again, but why set her up and then post it on the net? Guess you don't gotta be smart to post a video .....
