Features
		1) INCREASED ACCURACY OF FIRE - The barrel guide, fitting the barrel into the receiver, has been lengthened almost equalling that of the Beretta 01ympic target pistol. This definitely increases the accuracy of fire at both short and long ranges. 3) CRISP TRIGGER PULL - An improved sear release mechanism, utilizing new steel alloys, ensures a crisper and smoother trigger pull for more precise shooting. 4) SPEEDY MAGAZINE RELEASE - New Beretta push button magazine release facilitates high speed insertion and extraction of the magazine. SUPERIOR POINTABILITY - The slanted pistol grip provides easier aiming. Newly designed stocks are both easier and faster to grip. Cartridges now enter the chamber with reduced loading angi e. EXCLUSIVE SIMPLIFIED TAKEDOWN (See photographs of field strip sequences).
		2) HIGH SPEED THUMB SAFETY LEVER- At last it has been possible to design a completely satisfactory safety lever, blocking both hammer and sear when the pistol is at full cock. The safety may be applied (UP) or released (DOWN) with lightening speed pushing the lever up or down with the side of the thumb.
Disassembly
		1 First remove magazine, then draw the slide back for a look into the chamber and check that it is empty. (Cock hammer first to facilitate backward movement of slide) To remove magazine, keep push button magazine release pressed down until the magazine is fully out. Reassemble in reverse order.
		2 Hold pistol in left hand (tap muzzle against a wooden surface to loosen barrel). Push slide back with right hand till notch on the lower edge of the right side of the slide is opposite the slide lock. With left thumb rotate matted button of slide lock counterclockwise. (Fig. 2).
		3 The slide is thus released and permitted to come forward, on the front.
		4 To remove barrel, release recoil spring guide with its spring, pushing it slightly forward to disengage from notch in the slide. (Be careful since the recoil spring is tightened). Proceed as shown in figure 4. Reassemble in reverse order
