Analysis

Beretta introduced the 950BS in 1978 as the thumb-safety continuation of the 950B. The S marks the frame-mounted sear-block safety. U.S. catalogs kept Minx on the .22 Short gun and Jetfire on the .25 Auto gun. Assembly moved to the United States. The .22 Short gun left the catalog in the early 1990s; the .25 Auto gun ran into the early 2000s, including a short Inox close-out. Used 950BS pistols are the common tip-up vest guns on the market. Boxed examples sit at the top of the value range.
