so these are making their rounds. i picked up two for 209 plus shipping and tax (for a legit beretta come on thats good). these are basically beretta 92fs except scaled down for .32 and with frame mounted safety (yes please). double stack .32 acp gives you 12 +1 capacity (not bad)

both arrived from classic arms, both were in used but excellent condition (no huge gouges, the inside and bore was clean, functions smooth, 1 had a tiny amount of rust on the slide but that was easily removed.

i took both to the range out of box and fired 150 rounds through each (mixed FMJ of fiocchi and PPU .32), interchanging the mags. no hiccups and this gun is a soft shooter (.32 acp what to expect) but damnit is this thing accurate. i mean like stupid accurate

the bad.....spare mags are expensiver than ****; but with surplus pistols usually they do a run on the guns then the mags to follow with the second wave (if surplus logic holds up with these).

in short.....these are a buy. im gonna get a few more before they go away for good (i also have a special place in my heart for .32 acp)

Those are really cool. I'll bet they are good shooters. I love Beretta. They make outstanding guns. I have always liked .32acp too. I dont really know why, other than the history and it is different, by today's standards.

I have no clue where you can find mags, but Georgia Arms makes some good rounds in .32acp.
