Title
editWhy the extra space in the title between "M" and "1935"? Wouldn't "Beretta M1935" with no space be less cumbersome? Cerebellum (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Who ever wrote this article has a defective M 1935. The weapon is not single action, in fact it is "double action only". [user:KingPodda] June 9, 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by KingPodda (talk • contribs) 01:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Double action is used to decribe a pistol where the uncocked hammer can be cocked and dropped by pulling through on the trigger (eg. Walther PP. PPK and P38); the first shot is a heavy pull since it must cock the hammer but follow up shots are light pulls since they only release the hammer.
- Single action describes a pistol where the uncocked hammer must be cocked manually, either by the shooter's thumb or by movement of the slide (e.g. Beretta M34 and M35, Colt 1911 and Tokarev TT); every shot is a light pull since it only releases the hammer.
- "Double action only" describes a pistol where action of the slide does not cock the hammer and every shot fired requires a heavy double action pull (Grendel P10). --Naaman Brown (talk) 10

Under the heading of "Limitations", the article reads; "When the magazine is removed the action returns forward on an empty chamber. This slows down reloading of the pistol."
This is true, but only if the pistol is being used improperly. Once the magazine is empty, the first step is to place the pistol on "safe". If the slide is to the rear when the safety is placed in the safe position, the safety lever will lock into it's recess in the slide and hold it open. Once the new magazine is inserted, one merely presses down on the safety lever until the slide releases and chambers a loaded round. To move the safety lever all the way around returns the pistol to a "ready to fire" condition.
