Benelli Model B-80 Pistol 30 Luger

Benelli once made a line of semi-auto pistols. They were of the DA/SA design and were very well made. But they never caught on and are pretty rare today. Probably the 2 biggest factors were that they were single stack autos that came out just when the double stack magazine craze was really taking off, and they are a real pain in the butt to disassemble for cleaning. A 3rd factor that probably didn`t help was that they were designed for ball ammo and had trouble feeding hollow points. The most common of these guns was the model B-76 in 9mm. This gun, the model B-80, is the same gun except chambered in 30 Luger which is also known as Parabellum. The 30 Luger cartridge was a common cartridge in some of the very early Luger pistols End of video shout out is for BayouKnives. Find the channel by following the link below.
