10/28/2019 Radom Vis 35 Parts
I was happy to receive this Pietro Gardone V.T. Beretta 7.65 model 70 from Grandmother along with the story.

Grandfather bought it in the early 60's and fired it once and put it in a drawer where it sat since. He hated it saying it was built 'upside down' and 'backwards'. I know it is a belly gun and it is going to take me awhile to remove all of the encrusted grease which seems to have hardened but been working on it by breaking it down with oil. He was left-handed and being right handed I understand what he meant Would have been damn near impossible for him to handle it properly. Mil Spec, Imported by JLG in 1963, built in the Mil Facility Beretta had separate for star stamped Mil Spec gun production. That plant had never allowed being toured unlike the plant they had just down the road.
Radom also confirmed that the new VIS pistols will cost no more than 4,000 PLN – or $1,100. The 9x19mm wz.35 was adopted as the Polish service pistol in 1935. The design is derived from John Browning’s 1911, although it differs in calibre and some internal and external features.
Now to find a decent holster, rounds and extra clip ordered Grimmy. So this pistol actually came home with my great uncle. In conversing with my father just now, the story is that he (Great Unc) brought this home as a soldier.
He laughed to recount that he told a great tale of struggle and close quarter's combat. To the victor went the spoils.
We both agree, and I'm sure you will as well, that the fight scene would make a much better tale than would 'I found it in a ditch'. The world will never know exactly what the story was; it did come from the battlefield however. Wish I had more concrete, we may have to settle on stucco.

No I didn't walk into a tree branch while drunken and looking at a text, this scar is from the dude that jumped out from behind the tree and attacked. You oughta see that SOB though I'll see if Dad knows where he was deployed. I'm glad to be able to access him readily. When first received, I did a discovery. You can see that the Nazi stamps are superimposed over serial numbers already imprinted in the slide. Post production modifications. It would only be made cooler if it had tally marks on it.
Thank you, that is another lead, but they look exactly like the one I listed above. The problem is that the magazine lock is too low and not the right size and the spring seem to be too weak. Also the gun jams occasionally when I use it.
With the factory one in, I have no problems and can rapid fire 8 rounds. I had to modify the non factory clip in order to even get it to work. After doing a lot of reading, the only thing I can come up with is that there are different specs for the different manufacturing of the gun. I have a first manufacture of the Polish model that was taken during the occupation of Germany. It has the German army stamp on it, the stock grove, and the serial number suggest that it was an early model. Here it the factory clip side: Factory clip top: This is one of the clips I purchase online on it side: Non factory clip top.
I assume you mean the first batch turned out under the occupation, no Polish eagle, but still nice finish and rust blue with the takedown lever, in nice shape, close to $1000; lesser money for lesser condition. On the magazines, there were no differences in the pistol that would affect the magazine; all original Radom magazines should fit and function in all Radom pistols. I can't say mistakes were impossible, but there was good quality control right up to the end, and I know of no manufacturing changes in either the pistol or the magazines that would affect functioning. Many after-market magazines are junk, not just Radom magazines. The Firearms Forum is on online community for all gun enthusiasts.
