The Beretta 81 is a nice pistol especially for the price offered today, better if you can see the pistol first as some are quite worn. The pistol, like it’s .380 brother are quite large for the diminutive calibers but in the .380 that is a plus. I purchased both the 84 BB and 81 BB through Aim Surplus and both were like new pistols with no appreciable wear, both shoot with impeccable reliability. Although not a fan of Berettas these pistols are fun to shoot,, kinda big for carry but ok if you realize the limitations of the caliber, especially the .32.
