This Billennium series pistol stands out for its limited run of 2,000 worldwide and factory embellishments, including the Billennium script and emblem on the slide flats. It carries Italian proof marks and the BS proof date code for 2002, with import marks from Beretta USA. The series-specific MM-prefix serial format further ties it to the Billennium production.
Built on an all-steel frame and receiver with a high-polish bright metal finish, it uses the open-slide short-recoil system with a locking block. The Brigadier-profile heavy slide features high-polish flats with factory engraving. The 4.9 in barrel is hood-marked "9 Para," and the pistol is configured for 10+1 capacity using the included 10-round magazines.
Configured as single-action-only, it includes a frame-mounted manual safety and a skeletonized spur hammer. Grip and control surfaces are thoughtfully executed, with fine machine checkering on the front strap, backstrap, and the trigger guard undercut. Contoured carbon-fiber grip panels with Beretta medallions provide a distinctive look and feel.
The sighting system is set up for precision: an adjustable rear sight with windage and elevation screws, paired with an interchangeable front blade. Unloaded weight is approximately 43.3 oz, complementing the heavy slide and steel construction for a solid, balanced feel.
Presentation and documentation are part of the Billennium package. This example includes the blue velvet-lined fitted Billennium presentation case, a Beretta-branded hard case, the original outer box, the Billennium-branded lock, cleaning kit, and the 92/98 Billennium booklet/manual.
