Built on a compact aluminum-alloy frame with a steel slide, the 140DA uses a blowback system paired with a DA/SA trigger and an exposed spur hammer. Its closed-top slide and separate ejection port reflect the Beretta manufacturing lineage, with "CAL. 9 Short" marked on the port.
Controls are fully ambidextrous at the slide, with safety/decockers on both sides. A BDA-style plunger loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide behind the ejection port provides a clear visual cue. Low-profile fixed iron sights include a front blade and a rear notch.
The barrel measures approximately 3.8 inches, and the double-column design delivers a 13+1 capacity in .380 ACP. The included steel magazine shows numbered witness holes and a flush baseplate.
Factory and import markings are present: the slide bears the oval PB monogram and "MADE IN ITALY," and the underside of the slide is import-marked "C.A.I. GEORGIA VT." This example aligns with the FN-marked 140DA/BDA-380 pattern produced by Beretta in Italy.
