Additional Variants
Screen-Used
Beretta Model 81 (.32 ACP) as used in Scarface. The weapon pictured here is the actual screen-used gun used by Al Pacino in the film. The gun is in good overall condition with some minor scratches and wear caused by its repeated use in numerous action scenes from the film and on subsequent productions. The black Pachmayr grips have been replaced with a newer identical version as the original pair was switched out a number of years ago. The gun has been modified to fire blank rounds only and the barrel has some very minor oxidation/rust spotting that may have resulted from its onscreen use in other productions.

World IMFDB Exclusive: Screen used Beretta 85BB pistol. This live-firing weapon is verified as screen used by actor James Gandolfini in The Sopranos. This gun was fired onscreen in the episode I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano (1.13) during the scene where Tony ambushes fellow mobster Chucky Signore (Sal Ruffino) on the docks and pulls this gun out of a fish’s mouth before using it to shoot him. (IMFDB thanks The Golden Closet for providing the documentation on this gun). Contact them via their website for more detailed images and purchasing information on this item.

"BB"
What does that stand for? - User: 2wingo
- "BB" stands for "Brevettato Brevettato". The Italian word "Brevettato" means "patented". The original models were just called by their model number, then they were improved with the B versions, so like 84B. The B models had an automatic firing pin safety, the caliber stamped on the barrel, a shorter extractor with a laoded chamber indicator and serrations on the front and back straps. The BB versions were then released, which not only retained the improvements of the B, but also had the safety deactivate the trigger, added more serrations on the slide as well as white dot and post sights. In short, "BB" signifies the second improvement to the design. Think of it sort of like "A2" on modern firearms. (Votesmall (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC))
