This .380 Caliber Beretta, Model M1934, Serial #900246, is the gun that
Elvis used to blow out a television when Robert Goulet was singing. The
event happened in Elvis's hotel room in Las Vegas. The gun was given
to Joe Esposito by Elvis. Mr. Esposito was Elvis's personal confidant,
Road Manager, and Co-Best Man at his wedding. Mr. Esposito has
authenticated the details on this gun with a signed affidavit which
will accompany the gun.

I've seen better looking pistols. It barely looks like a real gun to me. When did he get it?

Anyway, where is that M-16 Rosie O'Donnel has?

I think that's the classic Beretta, the one that was right up there with the Luger and P-38 as the favourite war trophy of WWII allied soldiers. The nickle finish on this one doesn't do it many favours; I never have fully understood the appeal of chrome finishes on weapons.

I still prefer the Beretta semi-compact 92F in Minority Report.

This is the classic Beretta, just gotta love the design. Although a plain black finish'd look much better on this one.
