The Mod. 950 BS Minx pairs an aluminum-alloy frame with a steel slide and barrel, finished in a classic blued scheme. At about 4.9 inches overall length with a 2.4-inch barrel, it embodies the micro-size format Beretta designed for discreet carry and easy handling.
Its tip-up barrel allows straightforward loading and chamber checks without racking the slide. The design uses extractorless ejection with a fixed ejector, keeping the operating system simple and reliable with .22 Short ammunition.
This model is single-action only with an external spurred hammer and a frame-mounted thumb safety. Additional safety elements include an inertia-type firing pin and a red "fire" dot indicator for quick visual status confirmation.
Sighting is clean and purposeful: a small front blade on the barrel and a rear notch integral to the slide. Rear slide serrations aid manipulation. The checkered synthetic grips feature Beretta PB medallions with ".22 SHORT MINX" molded in for clear model identification.
The slide is marked "MADE BERETTA USA CORP., ACKK, MD," confirming U.S. manufacture. This Minx comes with two factory magazines and its factory-labeled box, completing a well-kept example of Beretta’s classic micro .22 Short platform.
