I hear people say they still make them in Italy and import some from time to time but I don't remember seeing a new new one in years.
NOS or really nice like new used ones show up on GB regularly but it seems like lots of people want one and the prices get up there, at least compared to the LE trade ones. I like mine (surplus) though.  Attached File |

Why not a Bersa?
I have a Bersa .22 that has been a solid gun. They make .380s with threaded barrels. |

I prefer the single-stack version, the 85, but have a 84 too. Great pistols, and I'll admit the 84 with that double stack magazine of .380s is kind of reassuring. Here's a comparison photo of the 84 with its bigger, 9mm cousin. The family simularity is certainly apparent.

The 85 was my first CCW pistol. Still have it, great little pistol.
Bought one of the 81s from AIM, should probably get an 84 to complete the collection. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @sparkyfender2 Atlantic Firearms just listed some cool used ones. Some look pretty nice. No nickel tho. I just picked mine up today. had it on layaway since I had just bought a VZ61 from them. I got the Very Goos/Exellent for 499. What I picked up could be almost considered new/Old stock. Absolutely no rust or wear anywhere. Just one tiny, tiny little fleck of missing anodizing at the heel of the grip about the size of a pin head. paid 499 for it since I wanted a collector and already have an 84 shooter. Yeah I know I took a gamble but it paid off. Atlantic has been very good to me as far as their grading system. they have other grades for much cheaper if you just want a shooter. |

I have a rarely fired gloss finish one with plastic grips that I can be talked out of.
It sits in the safe as my wife prefers her Smith 60-3. I'm in no need of selling but it would allow me to sell a butt load of of 380 ammo. |

Thanks for the help IronColon! Yeah, I'm very happy with this little piece. I'm going tp get some wood Beretta stocks for it. I was planning on going to the range that day, that's why I have those other rifles out, trying to decide whic one I wanted to shoot. Ended up not going after all because a friend wanted to go have lunch. Maybe today, though!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just ordered one of the recent surplus batches, any recommended parts replacement off the bat? I did replace the recoil springs on both of mine just in case. Other than that I just cleaned, lubed and hit the range. I don't think there are any parts on these that are known to break or wear out much. |

Cleaned it up, a little bit of light polishing here and there, some renaissance wax, wood grips, and hi-viz paint in the front sight cavity. waiting for the recoil springs to come back in stock, think the wave of used 84s on the market now led to sold out everywhere.

You're gonna love that little gun. Like IronColon said, just replace the recoil spring and you should be good to go. I can't remember which guns are single-stack but make sure that you get the grips for a double-stack model. |
