The Bernardelli Model 60 is a classic Italian-made, single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered in 32 ACP. Manufactured by Bernardelli in Gardone, Italy, this elegant pocket pistol represents a fine example of mid-century European craftsmanship. Known for its compact size, accuracy, and ergonomic grip, the Model 60 was a popular choice for personal defense and target shooting prior to the import restrictions of the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Built with a durable steel frame and slide, this handgun features a 3.5-inch barrel that is fixed directly to the frame to maximize accuracy. It operates using a reliable straight blowback action and includes a single-action trigger mechanism, an exposed hammer with a half-cock safety position, fixed sights, and a traditional European-style heel magazine release. It feeds from a single-stack 8-round magazine, offering a comfortable and controllable shooting experience.
This specific piece was manufactured during the 1969 XXV production year, making it C&R Eligible. It is offered in surplus Good to Fair Condition. The pistol will show normal signs of historical use, including light scratches, finish wear, or a slight patina on its original finish. Minor rust or corrosion may be present on some surfaces, but the firearm retains a majority of its original finish. The plastic grips and magazine bases may exhibit minor cracks or chips from service wear.
