Design and construction

The V. BERNARDELLI MODEL 80 uses simple blowback operation, a proven system for .22 Long Rifle ammunition that keeps parts count low and maintenance straightforward. A steel slide over an alloy frame gives a durable service life while keeping the balance moderate for controllable recoil and quick follow-up shots. This example bears Interarms import markings and serial number 09577, adding provenance for collectors and enthusiasts.

Barrel, sights, and magazine

The compact barrel and platform dimensions make the Model 80 an easy-to-manage package on the range. Sighting options vary by example: fixed or drift-adjustable front sight with a fixed rear sight depending on the configuration. The 10-round magazine capacity is standard for rimfire semi-autos, enabling extended dry-fire practice and expedited range sessions. One 10-round magazine is included with this listing.

Performance and applications

The .22 Long Rifle caliber is ideal for fundamentals work—trigger control, sight alignment, and follow-through—without the noise and recoil of centerfire cartridges. The Model 80’s smooth single-action-style trigger feel and ergonomic controls support predictable shot placement, making it suitable for plinking, beginner training, or supplemental practice for experienced shooters. Listed price is $599.99, reflecting the pistol’s solid construction and collectible import history.
