Old beretta 100 magazine help.

[Pb&j]

I have an old Beretta model 100 in 32acp which was given to me missing the magazine. Father in law has never seen a mag for it for all the years his father owned it. I have found little info on this model and even less info trying to locate a magazine. Just reaching out to see if any folks are familiar with this model gun and or know of a person or company that might deal in hard to find mags. Google can only be of limited help.

I did a little google-fu and it seems based on the internet (beware) the Beretta Model 100 was a re-named Model 70 with a longer barrel to meet the 1968 GCA. There is a 70S which is steel frame and a 70T which is a target model. There’s a chance the Puma series might use same magazines.

Just understand this is not my knowledge. I read it on the internet.

I own a Beretta 100. I only have 1 magazine. The magazine has a spacer so that it can work with the grips that are longer than the frame. It may be easier to find a standard magazine and short grips that were on the Beretta 71 or one its variants.

You might try J Lowe’s Clips and Magazines.
Their phone number is 972- 986-8158.
They’ve helped me before to find an odd magazine.
That sounds like a neat pistol.

I hesitate to recommend them, (quality control issues with the Colt second model Woodsman magazines I bought years ago) but you may try Triple K. IIRC they are located in San Diego, CA.

Any referral is certainly helpful. Searches for hard to find magazines came up with little specifics on companies so this information is a step in the right direction. I'm going to reach out to a gunsmith friend but he is more a restorationist on late 1800 to early 1900's firearms, but if he has friends in the know....keep hunting. Thanks for taking the time guys.

I believe that the magazine for the Beretta 70 T (not the regular 70 or 70s), 9 rd, 32 acp mag will fit.
The regular 70 and 70S mags are only 7 rounds and will be too short

You are now the second person to sing those words. Gunsmith friend did some homework and found the same. I've found if you search for the model 70, one can find more information about the model 100. Kind of backwards, but then again, look at the rest of the world. Thanks for the input.
