Beretta "M" Type Mags

[TheGreatGonzo]

For those of you who are not familiar with the Beretta "M" models, they are a compact, single-stack (8 round) version of the Beretta 92. They come in several different configurations. While I realize some folks strongly dislike the Beretta pistols, I happen to personally be very fond of them, and, in particular, the M series. Anyway, I am having a great deal of trouble finding spare M series mags (the series is discontinued). None of my "tried and true" sources have any. If any of you folks have a good lead on a source for Beretta "M" type mags, I would be most appreciative if you would pass it along.
Thanks,
Gonzo

Aren't those the same as those cheap Egyptian Helwan pistols? Would those mags work?

[kennethm3]

gunaccessories dot com has mags for a Beretta 1951, the Helwan copy, they are single stack 9mm if that is what you are talking about.

And BTW, I'd take a Beretta over any Smith or Ruger, any day!

Uncle Sugar,
Not to fear, my first love is still Sigs. I own far too many to change my mind now. LOL! But, my first issued semi-auto duty weapon (my actual first was a S&W Model 66 revolver) was the Beretta 92 and when I qualified as an NRA Distinguished Pistol Master, it was with a Beretta 96. I have always had a fondness for them.

KennethM3,
No, unfortunately, the Helwan mags would not work. The "M" series actually require the "M" series mags. Finding them lately is just a bit of a pain in the butt. Good thought, though...thanks.

Gonzo,
Check with a company called Mec-gar. I think they are an Italian company. Never bought any Beretta Magazines, but I have bought several sig magazines. This is the only company that I would ever consider buying aftermarket magazines from. High quality stuff. Since what you are looking for is discontinued not sure if they would still carry them or not. Give them a call if you can't get anything else.

Gaboy,
Actually, Mec-gar IS "factory" for over a dozen companies now, including Beretta and Sig. They have made the "factory" mags for many companies for years. As you pointed out, they do excellent work. I will not use anything but a factory mag (original or Mec-gar) in a gun that I carry for protection. Unfortunately, they were not the manufacturer when the "M" series stopped production, and Beretta no longer stocks the "M" mags. Sigh...

PS - Rzaruba, CDNN was one of my first tries, but no luck.
