Bought an Italian trio today.

I'll admit that I'm bragging here a bit. But I'm happy about this buy. :D
I've never even bought two guns in the same day, much less three. But I did just that today. :rolleyes:
It all started with some ads on Armslist. The guy listed each gun individually, but then there was a 4th ad for them as a group. I contacted him, we haggled and I believe I got a great deal. 

All three are Berettas. a 2016 85FS Cheetah .380, a 2001 3032 Tomcat .32acp and a 950BS Jetfire .25acp. All three are LNIB with original manuals. Not a mark on any of them.

I can't seem to find a date for the Jetfire. No date code on the gun that I can find and the serial # doesn't come up on any list. The guy said it was an antique. Can anybody help with that? I'll probably have to contact Beretta. :rolleyes:

The best part? I gave $1000 for the lot. I'm tickled plumb to pieces!  :D

Garufa: I already tried that. Serial number wouldn't come up. Also tried several other place around the net. No joy. I guess I'll give Beretta a call sometime next week. BTW: the seller was wrong. Its not an antique. I've found that its a U.S. made gun. Its the 950BS model with a manual safety.  I'll admit I sorta have a thing for mouse guns. :rolleyes: I'm really liking the little Jetfire. :up:

I've been curious about the Tomcat for years. Always wanted to try one.  But its a little bigger than it looks. Not really a mouse gun, more of a pocket pistol. But I am looking forward to shooting it. ;)

I had a Model 84 once. That's the double stack Cheetah. Great gun! I really liked it and always regretted selling it. But at the time I needed the money. I'm sure all of you know how that goes. :rolleyes: I'm guessing the 85 will be just as good. 

Between the weather and a few other things I've got going, I have no idea when I'll get them to the range. But I am looking forward to it. :D

Well this is interesting. I called Beretta today about dating the Jetfire. They tell me their records don't go back that far. All they can say is that it was made somewhere between 1970 & 1987. Geez, you'd think a gun company would keep better records. :grouchy:
