Beretta 70 .32 review
Overall my beretta had more finish wear on the slide than the one pictured, and some surface rust on the barrel. The barrel is original, and has a thread adapter to take a 1/2 x 28 US threaded suppressor. Takedown was easy on mine, no mallet required. The gun shot to point of aim, reliably with a couple different types of FMJ ammunition, both suppressed and unsuppressed. Overall a light and reliable gun, but I will probably refinish the upper. Grips were fine not cracked, but again, expect a gun with noticeable finish wear on the blued slide and barrel, and some on the frame. OK for the discounted price

A bit worse condition than I expected
1. A bit worse condition than I expected. About 20% less finish than the stock photo. Both plastic grips were cracked but they may be salvageable (hopefully otherwise two star review would be in order as there was no mention of this in the description). 2. Barrel appears to be original with 1/2x20 threading with new 1/2x28 thread adapter threaded on. Rifling looks good. 3. Mechanically the gun went through 50 rounds of two different types of 32 acp FMJ’s without issue. 4. Magazine is in good surplus condition and is original Beretta. Note that triple K makes magazines for these as the originals are $75+. Triple K mags are around $50. I would trust them for practice but not with my life as I own them for several surplus Beretta pistols. A second magazine would have been nice to include but for the price one is okay. Overall somewhat disappointed. I’ve purchased many surplus pistols over the years, and this one is probably the worst compared to what was advertised. Not horrible. If 2.5/5 available I probably would have put that as my rating.

Decent for the price.
I was overall happy with this purchase. The firearm was in decent shape and functioned. Take down and reassembling the gun was made difficult due to an extremely tight fit of the barrel and lower frame (requires a mallet). Otherwise it is a solid purchase.
