Rated 2 out of 5 by David from A Tale of Two Guns I bought two of these about one month apart. Other than the grips, the first one was in very good condition. After cleaning it up, and putting on a fresh set of wooden grips, I'm completely satisfied..The second was a disappointment, considering the condition of the first. Rust and a ringed barrel. I used bronze wool to clean of the rust, but it is pitted, and that only helped a little. I would have rated it as fair at best. If you order online, it's a gamble as far as what you're going to get.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Notpurfect from Bargain on an underrated classic. This is a former Italian police trade in. My example was in very good to excellent shape. This gun is part of a series fo guns that also come in 380 and 22. Great trigger pull in double and single action, wonderfully crafted and finished. I never thought I would find one of these in such good shape at such a low price. Priced like a 22, for a center fire with a double stack magazine. 32ACP i snot a well regarded caliber in America, but it arms many of the police forces in Europe. Ammo can be a little pricey, but deals can always be found. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Greg from Pleasant Surprise Great Transaction with Gander. The Beretta 32acp was a pleasant surprise. It shoots great, double stack mag works great. Shot with hotter S&B 73 grain ammo and lighter PMC 60 grain, no issues. Being a used gun, you expect the worst cosmetically, but I would grade mine a B+. Blueing and grips in good shape, mag has rust. Very happy with this purchase. This is a sizable pistol, much bigger and heavier than my Kel P32 and Spectrum

Rated 5 out of 5 by TheBob_1 from Really Like This Pistol Saw ppl talking about these online. Low $200 range sounded intriguing, and I've always wanted a centerfire plinking pistol that was all fun, and this is IT. Soft shooting, hand-filling, 12+1 rounds. What a blast! Of course can be used as backup for SD if you're recoil sensitive too. Not the most powerful round, but police were using them before they came to this surplus sale, so there must be some level of effectiveness. Oh, and by the way, I'm here ordering another one. Maybe it'll be a gift for my son next year, as he fell in love with mine when he saw and held it :D Lastly, condition is not bad at all. Holster wear mostly, but the main things are it looks good, feels good, and shoots good. Thank you sir, may I have another?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jarheade4 from Excellent shooting pistol I actually purchased this same pistol from another retailer before I seen Gander had it. Took it to the range today and ran 100 rounds through it with zero issues. This particular caliber is great for new shooters in my opinion. With an all steel frame and slide the gun has very little recoil. Hornady does make self defense ammo in this caliber so it can be an EDC.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ryan from Excellent ! The one I received was in excellent condition! Extremely happy with this purchase. This is my 3rd one since they hit the market a couple weeks ago. The 1st 2 were from other sellers and the original model 81 and not 81bb. This is by far the nicest one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Seaspriter from Two Nearly Perfect 81 BBs in a row I purchased my first 81 BB three weeks ago. It was a new gun, probably only test fired. (the feed ramp and slide still had all its original bluing). Aside from some light surface scratches from poor packing by the importer (which cleaned up in 5 minutes with some cold blue on the slide and aluminum black on the frame), and light scuffing on the plastic grips (which can be buffed out), this gun is in excellent condition. I took a chance ordering a second 81 BB, never expecting to hit pay-dirt twice in a row, but I did -- two excellent condition guns in a row. Generally I like to buy in a store where I can see the product and inspect it for flaws. Buying on line is a bit of a gamble, especially based on reviews from other competitor web site reviews. Gander came through 100%. Gander Rocks!
