Beretta model 70 32acp?

[LIMPINGJ]

Anyone have any experience with one of these? Saw one the other day, it looked to be well made as usual for a Beretta. I was thinking of it as a companion shooter for my 1903 also in 32acp. Just curious about the accuracy and durability you have experienced? Also any ideas on a fair price range for one about 95% still in the factory box?
Thanks

I had a good model 70 in .380 for more than 10 years but eventually traded it for something else. A few years ago I came across one in 32acp that had not been well taken care of. Unfortunately, it ran as bad as it looked so I didn't keep it long. The design, IMO, is excellent. I still have a model 70S (22LR) that I bought new and a model 71 (also 22 LR) that I bought used. But, I would also note that finding an additional 32acp mag that works may be a chore.

I have two Beretta 70s, one in .22 LR and another in .32 ACP. Mine came with both 3-1/2" and 6" barrels.
The 6-inch .32 ACP is a real corker and gets some impressive velocities! Accuracy is on a par with my Colt M1903 and Walther.

Outpost75, you reminded me that I also have a Model 100, which is basically the same as a model 70 but with a longer butt and a 6" barrel. Mine has been a good shooter.

I bought one in 1968...wish I had kept it. It was a nice accurate shooter.

I've had one since 1979, they are good shooters. Plenty accurate & easy to shoot.
