Beretta 1915, 32 ACP Magazine?

[Picher]

I'm looking for any Beretta magazine that will fit a Beretta 1915 Model 1918, .32 ACP. I've tried doing internet searches and ordered one from Bob's Gun Shop, but they didn't have any.

I've heard that any Beretta .32 ACP magazine from 1918 to 1945 will fit, but does anyone know where I can find one that WILL fit, or could be modified to fit?

Check out Numrich. I picked up .32 mags from them this past fall for my 1935.

Actually, any Beretta .32 mag from 1915 to 1957 will fit.

Originals for the 1915 are hard to find, but the only significant difference from later Beretta mags is the way the floor plate is fastened to the body.

Plenty show up on eBay and Gunbroker. Just make sure you get one for the .32 1935 model, and NOT the 1934 (slightly too fat).

If it doesn't have to be a factory mag (for now, anyway), here's a link for an aftermarket that will act as a fill-in.

Here's another: http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/rpm-beretta-model191932calibermagazine.aspx

The Sarco mag is listed as for a 1919, but they are the same and this aftermarket mag has a flat bottom, which is correct tor the 1915s and 1919s.

I got a really old 32acp pistol with no magazine for $30.

$2,000 worth of my time later, I had converted a different 32acp magazine to fit.

Thanks for all the replies. I ordered a magazine and hope it will either fit, or I can make it fit.

I've got lots of hammers. LOL

I seem to be the dissenting vote...

I have 1919 and 1935 Beretta pistols, one each. The magazines do not interchange either way. They pretty much look identical.

Perhaps I'm being too gentle.
