The Bernardelli Model 60 is a classic Italian-made compact handgun, chambered in the highly manageable .32 ACP (7.65mm) caliber. Manufactured by the renowned Fratelli Bernardelli in Italy, this steel-frame pocket pistol was originally designed for self-defense, concealed carry, and target shooting. It offers the perfect blend of elegant European styling and reliable, straight-blowback performance.
This single-action semi-automatic pistol features a 3.5 in barrel rigidly attached to the frame, ensuring impressive accuracy for its size. The slide is constructed from durable steel, housing a twin recoil spring system designed to soften felt recoil. With an overall length of approximately 6.33 in and a weight of 26 oz, it operates via a traditional single-stack design, accommodating an 8-round magazine capacity with a European-style heel release at the bottom of the grip.
This particular firearm is a 1973 production model, marked with the Italian Roman numeral date code XXIX, and is C&R Eligible. Offered in Good to Fair surplus condition, this pistol will show normal signs of use, including light scratches, finish wear, or potential slight rust and corrosion. It retains a majority of its original finish, which may exhibit a natural patina. The black plastic grips or the plastic magazine base may show minor cracks and chips consistent with its age. One 8-round magazine is included.
