Beretta Model 950BS Jetfire .25 ACP Micro Pistol – U.S.-Made, Tip-Up Barrel, 8+1 Capacity
The Beretta 950BS Jetfire is a legendary pocket pistol, and this U.S.-manufactured example stands out for its aluminum-alloy frame, carbon-steel tip-up barrel, and remarkably light 9.8-ounce weight. Discontinued after 2003, the 950BS combines an open-top slide with simple blowback operation and a frame-mounted safety, offering reliable performance in an extremely compact package.

Weighing under 10 ounces unloaded, the 950BS Jetfire is purpose-built for deep concealment. Its micro dimensions, 2.4-inch carbon-steel barrel, and heel-style magazine release keep the profile slim while still offering an 8+1 capacity in .25 ACP.
The tip-up barrel lets the shooter load or clear the chamber without racking the slide—an advantage for quick chamber checks or for anyone with limited hand strength. Because the design omits an extractor, fired cases are positively ejected by blowback force, simplifying the slide assembly.
An open-top slide, rear slide serrations, and fixed integral sights provide snag-free handling. The external spur hammer and single-action trigger offer a crisp break, while the frame-mounted thumb safety adds familiar control placement for Beretta users.
This example’s matte dark-gray finish on both slide and alloy frame pairs with checkered black synthetic grips for a classic Jetfire look that resists glare and wear. With its original box, manual, and two magazines, it is complete for carry, collection, or range use.
