Shooting the Baby Beretta

This gun is a decent fit for a very small hand. This is true even if the finger is so short that only the pad or even the tip of the index finger can reach the trigger. Sights are rather crude with a knife-type blade front and a V-notch rear, neither very large. The sight picture looks like three tiny teeth, all pointed upward, with the middle one on target. They’ll do for slow-fire fun shooting, though.

I dug out the two 950 BS pistols my daughter had used so long ago, and took the plain blue one to the range. The .22 Short ammo that was so plentiful in my youth is not so available today. I finally found the CCI brand at a well-stocked local gun shop. It came in three flavors: target, standard and hollow-point.

The phone hadn’t stopped ringing at the office, and by the time I got to the range it was past the dark side of the end of the day. Even in the car headlights, I couldn’t distinguish the aiming point crudely drawn in pencil on the white side of the IPSC targets, nor could I get a good visual fix on the miniscule blade that is the Minx’s front sight.
