Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Beretta 71 and why does it have a fake suppressor?

The Beretta 71 is a .22LR pistol known for its compact size and open-slide design. It features a 'fake suppressor' primarily to meet US import requirements, adding necessary weight and length that the firearm alone does not possess for importation.

The fake suppressor on the Beretta 71 adds significant weight forward of the firearm. This added mass is believed to make the .22LR pistol shoot very softly, with minimal felt recoil and muzzle flip.
