Debuting in 1958 as the “New Puma,” the Beretta Model 70 is a steel‑framed, single‑action pocket pistol chambered for .32 ACP (7.65 × 17 mm Browning). Its fixed 3.5‑inch barrel and straight‑blowback action deliver excellent accuracy, while the frame‑mounted thumb safety, push‑button magazine release, and automatic slide‑stop modernize the design. This model comes with a 8‑round detachable magazine, 6.5″ overall length, 4.8″ height, and an unloaded weight of about 1.45 lb.
Replacing the wartime M1935 and widely issued to Italian police, the sleek Model 70—favored by covert operatives and film prop masters—remained in production until the late 1960s. Today, surplus examples in their deep‑blued finish are prized for their historical pedigree and timeless Beretta styling.
