Beretta 950B Jetfire .25 ACP Pocket Pistol – Brazilian-Made, Tip-Up 2.4" Barrel, 8+1 Capacity
The Beretta 950B Jetfire is one of the smallest center-fire semi-autos of its era, and this Brazilian-marked example adds a short-run import history to its appeal. Its tip-up carbon-steel barrel allows quick loading without racking the slide, while the light-alloy frame keeps weight to a minimum. Collectors and shooters alike value the 950B variant for its extractor-less design, half-cock hammer rest, and sleek, snag-resistant profile.

- 1 factory 8-round Beretta 950 magazine
This micro-size pistol chambers the .25 ACP cartridge in an 8+1 configuration, giving respectable capacity for its class. The external spur hammer features a drilled lanyard loop and a half-cock notch that serves as the model’s only safety device.
The heel-style magazine release helps prevent accidental drops during pocket carry, while rear slide serrations give positive purchase for administrative handling.
Integral sights are machined directly into the blued slide: a fixed front blade and a rear U-notch that remain unobtrusive yet usable at typical pocket-pistol distances.
Stamped “MADE IN BRAZIL,” this late-1960s to early-1970s production run was imported briefly after the 1968 GCA changes, making Brazilian-marked 950Bs less common than their Italian counterparts.
