The Bernardelli Model 60 is a classic, Italian-made semi-automatic pocket pistol chambered in .32 ACP (7.65mm). Originally introduced by Vincenzo Bernardelli in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, the Model 60 is highly regarded for its exceptional build quality, elegant lines, and reliable performance. Featuring a blowback-operated action with a fixed barrel design similar to the Walther PPK, this handgun delivers improved accuracy and a solid, dependable feel, making it an excellent piece for both collectors and target shooters.
Built with traditional European craftsmanship, the pistol features an all-steel slide paired with a lightweight alloy frame. It is equipped with a 3.5 in barrel and fed by an 8-round single-stack magazine. The design includes fixed open sights, a top slide serration to minimize glare, and a manual safety lever convenient for thumb operation. It also incorporates a half-cock safety on the exposed hammer, a magazine safety, and a traditional heel-style bottom magazine catch.
