This 96A1 Type F pairs Beretta's proven short-recoil, DA/SA system (with a falling locking block) and a skeletonized spurred external hammer for confident operation. The slide wears a durable Bruniton finish and uses the open-top design, with dovetailed front and rear sights that are replaceable.
The 4.9 in steel barrel features a chrome-plated bore and chamber. Sights include a dovetailed front blade and a dovetailed rear notch with white inserts, offering a 6.1 in sight radius.
The aluminum alloy frame keeps weight manageable while providing strength. Controls include ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker levers in the Type F configuration. The dustcover integrates a three-slot MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail for mounting compatible lights or lasers.
An internal metallic recoil buffer system and a captive recoil spring assembly are built into the design. Capacity is 12+1 in .40 S&W, with overall length of 8.5 in, height of 5.6 in, width of 1.5 in, and an unloaded weight of approximately 34.2 oz.
