10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR JUDGMENT OR REFLEX IMPAIRING MEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING. Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication that can impair motor reactions or judgment, do not handle a firearm while you are under the influence of the medication. 11. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle. Hunters and target shooters should load their firearm only at their destination. If you carry a firearm for self-protection, leaving the chamber unloaded can reduce the chance of accidental discharge. 12. LEAD WARNING. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure. 9 DESCRIPTION The series 81 Beretta pistols are semiautomatic firearms designed for personal defence, military and police use shooting practice. The great fire capacity combined with flawless reliability and anatomical-functional features make of these pistols the most modern in their class. The Beretta pistols, series 81, have the following characteristics: A. DOUBLE ACTION: the double action offers the advantages of a revolver. In the rare instance of misfire due to a faulty primer, it is sufficient to pull the trigger again to repeat the percussion on the cartridge and fire the round (mod. 87BB/L.B. excluded). B. GREAT FIRE CAPACITY Staggered magazine: 84F = 13 rounds Single line magazine: 85F, 87BB = 8 rounds; 83F = 7 rounds The staggered magazine of model 84F, which is no longer than a traditional magazine, almost doubles the capacity of fire. The single line magazine of 85F, 87BB, 83F models gives a tinner grip and reduced overall dimensions. C. COMPLETE HANDLING SAFETY C1. Manual safety: the manual safety breaks the connection between the trigger and the sear locks the slide in closed position. The F models introduce a new manual safety-decocking lever. It allows to lower the hammer cocked, chamber loaded, with the maximum safety, stopping it against the interceptor. At the same time the safety locks slide and interrupts the connection between trigger and sear. C2. Chamber-loaded indicator: when the cartridge is in the chamber, the upper surface of the extractor protrudes and shows red (mod. 87BB excluded). In the dark the protrusion can be felt by touch. It is therefore unnecessary to work the slide to see whether the barrel is loaded. C3. Automatic firing pin safety: when the trigger is not pulled completely back, a blocking device secures the firing pin and prevents it from moving forward, even if the weapon should fall from a height and strike the ground muzzledown. D. FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICAL FEATURES D1. Slide catch when the last round has been fired, the slide remains open thus signalling that the magazine is empty. D2. Manual safety lever on both sides: allows easier and quicker handling also by left-handed shooters. D3. Special sights: both front and rear sights (with white dots) are designed for swift location of the target and for bringing it into alignment with the greatest possible facility. 10

DESCRIPTION
The series 81 Beretta pistols are semiautomatic firearms designed for personal
defence, military and police use shooting practice.
The great fire capacity combined with flawless reliability and anatomical-functional
features make of these pistols the most modern in their class.
The Beretta pistols, series 81, have the following characteristics:
A. DOUBLE ACTION:
the double action offers the advantages of a revolver. In
the rare instance of misfire due to a faulty primer, it is sufficient to pull the
trigger again to repeat the percussion on the cartridge and fire the round
(mod. 87BB/L.B. excluded).
B. GREAT FIRE CAPACITY
Staggered magazine:
84F = 13 rounds
Single line magazine:
85F, 87BB = 8 rounds; 83F = 7 rounds
The staggered magazine of model 84F, which is no longer than a traditional
magazine, almost doubles the capacity of fire. The single line magazine of 85F,
87BB, 83F models gives a tinner grip and reduced overall dimensions.
C. COMPLETE HANDLING SAFETY
C1. Manual safety:
the manual safety breaks the connection between the trigger
and the sear locks the slide in closed position.
The F models introduce a new
manual safety-decocking lever.
It allows to lower
the hammer cocked, chamber loaded, with the maximum safety, stopping it
against the interceptor. At the same time the safety locks slide and interrupts
the connection between trigger and sear.
C2. Chamber-loaded indicator:
when the cartridge is in the chamber, the upper
surface of the extractor protrudes and shows red (mod. 87BB excluded). In the
dark the protrusion can be felt by touch. It is therefore unnecessary to work the
slide to see whether the barrel is loaded.
C3. Automatic firing pin safety:
when the trigger is not pulled completely back,
a blocking device secures the firing pin and prevents it from moving forward,
even if the weapon should fall from a height and strike the ground muzzle-
down.
D. FUNCTIONAL AND ANATOMICAL FEATURES
D1. Slide catch
when the last round has been fired, the slide remains open
thus signalling that the magazine is empty.
D2. Manual safety lever on both sides:
allows easier and quicker handling also
by left-handed shooters.
D3. Special sights:
both front and rear sights (with white dots) are designed for
swift location of the target and for bringing it into alignment with the greatest
possible facility.
