Century Arms M-71 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Long known among firearms aficionados, but often not easy to find, Beretta’s legendary M71 .22 pistol is now readily available. Offered by Century Arms, the lightweight semi-auto boasts excellent reliability and a storied past in the often violent history of the Middle East. In the late 1950s, Beretta introduced its 70-series pistols, which are blowback guns that included most of the improvements debuted on the 951 combined with a rakish new profile and the finger-extension magazine of the 34/35 — a svelte enough profile to be copied by the Bersa M644 and perhaps by similar Bernardelli pistols. Although the earliest 70-series guns maintained the pushbutton safety found on the 951, later ones (such as the M71 covered here) use a more conventional M1911-type thumb safety that pivots down to fire and up for safe.

I'm only giving the gun 3 stars because of the trouble I had removing the fake suppressor. But onto the review. Upon picking this gun up I discovered the hunk of plumbing pipe from the front of the barrel was weighting the nose down badly. It shot fine bu

I've been searching for a reliable compact 22 pistol for years and have bought and sold many that just didn't make the cut for me. Usually they would jam constantly or they weren't accurate. Finally I found what I was looking for with this gun it is amazi

Ordered this Beretta M71 pistol on the 24th, got here on the 26th...can't beat that! This Beretta pistol looks like it was never carried, maybe never fired...even the plastic grips look unused. AMAZING little pistols, hard to find and usually twice this p

I was pleasantly surprised when I received my Beretta M-71 .22 LR pistol w/ faux suppressor. Even though it was listed as Very Good, I received one that I would rate as excellent. The finish is spotless, the bore is pristine, the mechanics are excellent a

Very nice compact 22 handgun, once you manage to get the fake suppressor off. That hunk of metal weighs as much, if not more, than the pistol itself. Pistol was in VG condition, with just some wear from carry. Bore looked shiny and new once I ran a patch

Very nice little gun. Fun to shoot, and is not picky at all about ammo. The fake suppressor blocks the sights, but once you take that off, you have a nice, light, well balanced and very accurate firearm. This is my second one. I liked the first so much I

Great pistol. Super reliable for a 22lr handgun. Highly recommend this hand gun but be prepared to put some elbow grease into getting that fake suppressor off. With the fake can attached you cannot see the sights.

Absolutely awesome. I love this pistol! The "suppressor" was harder than I thought to get off, but well worth the time (and tired arm). It's reliable, anything I've put into it it cycles. It's accurate. It feels great in the hand. Anyone I shoot with want

Mine came in a poor condition, the slide has a very rough finish, with small dings and dents on both sides of the slide. Most likely not gonna buy again or recommend it to anyone I know.

Nice little 22. As I expected with a used gun ,there are some areas of wear , but this little Beretta is basically in nice shape. I look forward to some target shooting with it. Thanks for a nice fun!

This is a very well made dependable rimfire semi auto handgun. The finish was better than described. Aside from the lame depressing 16OZ fake suppressor made from cold roll steel that comes attached the pistol itself is very impressive and enjoyable.

I am very happy with this purchase. Aside from some handling and storage marks, the pistol looked great. I would rate it as very good to excellent. At the range, the pistol is very accurate and has been reliable with everything from subsonic to high vel

Mine had been carried a lot but was good machanically. The fake suppressor wasn't too difficult to remove, just take your time. Mine was also full of lint. The grip screws were Phillips head replacements. The hammer spring was a little weak giving me ligh

Love this little gun even though it was something of a project to remove the fake suppressor. Bought a second one in spite of that and the fact that they do show a little more wear than the used guns I usually purchase. Certainly nothing excessive, just t

I'm really satisfied with this little 22. The finish was in good shape, overall quality is excellent. This gun is a blast to shoot. Removing the "supressor " and installing a thread protector was easy and much improved it's appearance.

Great gun for price. Each piece has same quality as larger caliber Beretta pistols. Removal of permanent faux can is simple for folks with a drill and vice (10min). Lightweight, shoots well. I will likely order another soon. Finish is a bit rough but clea
