    Default Re: Beretta 81 Oaks Show Find

    Went to the range today and put 150 rounds through it rapid fire as fast I could pull the trigger.

    No rounds off the target from 5 to 7 yards. The recoil was not much more than a .22 lr.

    The capacity and ability to put rounds on target fast makes it a plausible EDC.

    Seriously considering it.

    It has the quality one would expect of bertta.

    Glad to hear it shot well! If you're planning on carrying - I believe the best .32acp defensive round out today is the Lehigh extreme defense loaded by Underwood.

    Robertson's Trading Post modified the feed lips on new Mec-Gar Model 84 .380 mags. 3 for $81 shipped. https://www.gunsamerica.com/96082814...p-lower-48.htm
    Update: The modified .380 Mecgar mags function perfectly and actually hold 15 rounds. They're also three bucks cheaper now than when I posted that link.

    I've put about 350 rounds through my 81 and its been flawless. It's very accurate at 25 yards. It's also fun to hit the steel swingers with the mighty .32ACP round. They go "bink" and fall to the ground.

    I also saw that Dan's has surplus 81 mags for 29.99 shipped.

    Thanks!

    The Beretta website has had lots of good coupon codes recently... I grabbed another mag for $35 shipped or something close to that recently.
