The Beretta 950BS Jetfire is a micro-size, American-made pocket pistol known for its tip-up barrel and remarkably light 9.9 oz weight.

What’s Included
- Beretta 950BS Jetfire pistol
- 1× factory Beretta 8-round steel magazine
Beretta’s tip-up barrel system lets the shooter load or unload a round directly into the chamber without operating the slide—an advantage for quick chamber checks or for those with limited hand strength.
The BS upgrade incorporates a left-side thumb safety and an inertial firing pin, providing added mechanical security without changing the pistol’s slim profile.
Despite its micro dimensions, the 950BS carries 8+1 rounds of .25 ACP and features an exposed spur hammer for uncomplicated single-action operation.
The high-polish blued slide contrasts with the violet/black anodized aluminum frame, and factory black checkered polymer grips with Beretta medallions complete the classic Jetfire look.
Fixed open sights—integral blade front and notch rear—keep the sight picture simple and snag-free for deep concealment or backup carry roles.
