V. Bernardelli 60 170718NW06

This is a Vincenzo Bernardelli Model 60 pistol, which is about the size of a Walther PPK. It is a single action semi-auto pistol chambered in .380 ACP with a safety on the left side of the frame which blocks the trigger. This is nice little pistol for concealed carry and its .380 ACP chambering should provide plenty of punch. The trigger safety is a little hard to reach with the thumb of the shooting hand, but not that hard to find with the left thumb if you are right handed. We like the idea of being able to carry a pistol cocked and locked since so many of the double action pistols have such a long hard double action pull on the first shot. There were quite a few of these pistols made, but you won’t find all that many in the United States. They were introduced in 1959, primarily for export to the U.S., but the GCA of 1968 banned their further importation. So, if you have any interest in this pistol, you had better grab it, because it might be some time before you see another in this nice of a condition.
