Bernardelli P-018

     Notes: Designed as a military pistol, the P-018 was built to take rough treatment and withstand a great deal of abuse and dirt without failing or being discharged accidentally.  It is centered on an all-steel frame, and trigger guard is squared off for more stable two-handed shooting.  The trigger is double-action, and the manual safety locks the hammer and blocks the slide. Sights may be fixed or adjustable, according to the wishes of the customer.  Balance is excellent, and the P-018 was built to be no heavier than is necessary to achieve the desired strength and stability. 

     The PO-018 is a selective-fire version of the P-018.  Bernardelii was hoping for military and police sales, but other than some testing by various special operations units and police SRT-type units, the hoped-for sales didn’t come.  A .32 version was designed for use by civilians; thiese sales were surprisingly large, in 9mm and .32. Operation is by short recoil to reduce felt recoil and the PO-018 is a DAO weapon, which makes for jerky trigger pulls, not desirable in an automatic weapon. A kit is available to allow conversion to .32 from 9mm and vice versa.

     The P.ONE series is the successor to the P-018.  It retains the positive aspects of the P-018 while adding improvements such as a standard adjustable rear sight, a positive safety, a half-cock feature, a firing pin safety, and a magazine safety.  The extractor also acts as a chamber loaded indicator.  The P.ONE series uses virtually all-steel construction, with a variety of finishes; blue plastic checkered grips are standard, but optional checkered walnut grips are available.  Unlike the P-018, the P.ONE is available in four calibers, with an additional one for the P.ONE Compact.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: Though the P-018 saw some use with special operations units in Europe in the Twilight 2000 timeline, especially in Italy, it is perhaps more famous (or infamous) for its use by the Mafia during and after the Twilight War; in fact, if you meet an Italian officer that is armed with one (particularly an ornate one), there is a good chance that he is in the pocket of the Mafia.  The P.ONE does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Bernardelli P-060/A

     Notes: This is a small weapon favored by female civilians and mobsters. Introduced in 1959, it was only manufactured until the early 1960s.  It is small enough to be fairly concealable, while powerful enough to still be useful.  Strangely enough for such a small weapon, the rear sight is fully adjustable.  Operation is blowback, with two recoil springs to reduce felt recoil. The barrel and frame are forged in one piece.

Bernardelli P-010/100

     Notes: The Bernardelli P-010 is a target pistol designed to replace the Model 69.  The P-010 is almost entirely steel, with the exception of a nickel-chrome barrel.  The slide is in two pieces; the rear part recoils and the front point is weighted for balance.  The rear sight is completely adjustable, and the slide has a full.-length sighting rib in addition to the rear and front sights.  The trigger is adjustable for pressure and pull.  The grip is of one-piece wood, but may be swapped out for a match stock with an ergonomic grip.  Additional barrel weights could be attached to the forward portion of the slide.

     The P-100 is a simpler version of the P-010.  The frame is of light alloy, and the grips are less fancy and are not able to be changed for ergonomic ones.  There are extra safety mechanisms.

Bernardelli P-6/P-8

     Notes: This is an update of the P-060/A.  The P-6 and P-8 are for the most part identical, with the P-8 adding a plethora or safety mechanisms such as a half-cock safety, manual safety, magazine safety, and firing pin to comply with US, Canadian, and Mexican arms regulations; they are in fact internally quite similar to newer versions of the Walther PP.    Both have a chamber loaded indicator and adjustable rear sights.  They are mostly of steel construction, but have light alloy frames and grip plates of plastic or walnut.

     The Model 90 Sport was designed to replace the Model 60 Sport, and is basically a P-6 with an extended barrel, adjustable rear sight, and ergonomic wooden grips. (Plastic grips are also available, decreasing the RL cost.) As you might guess, the P-90 has a micrometer-adjustable rear sight; the front sight is also adjustable somewhat for elevation, as it uses an unusual screw-in mounting.  Also unusual for a target pistol is the light weight of the P-90.

Bernardelli Model 60

     Notes: This is one of the oldest Italian pistols still in continuous use in the world. The base Model 60 was introduced in 1959, primarily for export to the US, but the Gun Control Act of 1968 banned this pistol from the US along with many other “pocket pistols.”  The Model 60 comes in three calibers and is a simple pistol with a blued finish and plastic grip plates.

     The Model 60 Sport was the sporting and target version of this pistol.  In the US, it was known as the AMR.  It has an extended barrel and comes only in one caliber.

Bernardelli MOD.USA

     Notes:  This weapon was designed primarily with civilian US buyers in mind, but is also popular as a backup pistol for police.  It is a single action straight blowback weapon with a decocker and a manual safety.  The rear sight is adjustable, something that is unusual in such a pistol.

Bernardelli Practical VB

     Notes: These pistols are powerful target weapons.  They come in three calibers and depending upon model, have different features to make them unusual.  The standard Practical VB has a scope mount that may mount optics ranging from laser aiming modules to telescopic sights.  The Practical VB Elite is the best target model, with a compensated barrel, micrometer rear sight, and the controls are enlarged for easy manipulation.  The Target version is the simplest version, designed for the strictest competitions; it is almost like the Elite, but has no compensator.  These weapons were introduced in 1992.
