Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Now, Bingo; you wouldn't happen to have any parts lying around would you?

This is one pistol that came to me never needing repairs just adjustments and cleaning.Never stocked parts for it and I have yet to see one in need of repair. Usually the problem is the mag as this gun has some year to it since it went out of production. Imagine how I felt when the Egyptian version showed up! BTW Helwan parts fit but steel is questionable so be careful of hammer/sear replacement parts.
I doubt that properly used you will ever need repairs as it was a quality made firearm made by one of the best in the business.

Now here is a question: how long did Beretta make replacement parts got these? Because the replacement slide is dated 1991 and (once cleaned up) is pristine condition. They stopped producing the pistol in 1983.

I bought one of those from Cole's earlier this year. Mine was dirty outside but clean as a pin inside. It's a mighty fine little pistol.
