Muy bonita y buena marca pero mal calibre para defensa
Are the magazines compatible with the model 71 (22lr)?
Great pistol by the way.
Greetings from Belgium!
With a suppressor, the "Hitters Special", this was famous(or imfamous)with Mossad back in the early eighties. A cool lil gat fer sure. Always nice to see your vid’s brother Sootch, best to you n yours sir, Mike.
I was gifted one of these but it has been through many years of heavy use. My 76 chambers smooth but I still have not test fired because mine has a gap between the slide and the upper part where the rear sights sit. I was wondering if u knew of a fix to for realigning the pistol to get rid of the gap . I also have a small gap at the end of the slide after it chambers . The gun cycles perfectly . Do u recommend test firing or do you know of a way to fix these gaps? Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for this interesting video. The B76 is quite nice.
– But when I see the official field strip method, I understand that the current model is the 87 Target.
– For dry firing, Carl Walther Waffenbabrik and Haemmerli make small plastic inserts which make intensive dry firing very easy and completely safe for the gun. They are part of the daily life of any small bore precision shooter.
– If this pistol has a real accuracy potential, then it make sense to test small batches of target ammo from Eley, Lapua, RWS, Fiocchi and SK. The result may be surprising and impressive.
– If you really like this model, I recommend you to try a Haemmerli 208s.
After shipping and transfer fee they are over $500. Way too expensive especially with only one mag. I’ll get a used ruger, browning, or some other target pistol for half the price.

EXCELLENT REVIEW IVE GOT THE 76 AND THE 102
BEAUTIFUL PISTOL
My first handgun to ever shot when I was 6. I could hit with it right off the bat.
Purchased my Model 76 43 years ago, almost to the day, for $202.00. Haven’t shot it in quite awhile. Took it apart a few months ago to really give it a good cleaning & lube. Had forgotten about the needed multiple slide slams. Thought something was really wrong until I came across your video – what a relief! My only lament is that I can’t find extra mags for it. It will see range time very soon.
It’s junk compared to Ruger’s MK 2, I had the gold model it was nothing but a jammermatic that I paid $450 from Gunbroker. The Mark2 is a minute of prairie dog eye at 70yrds, with a rest and scoped and it never jammed. Granted, I had to put a $20 Volquartsen trigger set, and their $40 target grips on it, but I only gave $175 for the Ruger at a gun show. I tried to like the Beretta, but it just wouldn’t let me. I traded the gold for a browning hunter model, and have never looked back. The dealer thought he made a great trade.
The sigths are high on the hand axis,,,,not optímal. It is the main drawback of the pistol. Testing a bulls eye target pistol at 7 yards is ridicolous. The international distance is 25 metres…a distance where you can really test if It is accurate or no. At 7 yards even 2” revolveres can make great groups.
It’s a really nice Bersa Thunder but worse.
I may end up getting one of these, Classic got em for $479, and I like that they are all metal, and how the rear sights are on the barrel, and that inner slide and all makes for kickass accuracy ..thats 4 sure….Thanks sootch00, always a Great Presentation you do.

Why not hunt with it? You said it was possible, but sounded like you were kinda warning against it. Not squirrel worthy?
I inherited a Beretta Model 102. – I think the older version of this gun. It shoots really well. It must be somewhat rare…I have no idea what it’s worth.
I’m subscribed and enjoy your videos. But I think Classic picks and sends you the finest examples of the guns they are selling for your reviews. Great advertising! I got 1 good “Good” pistol and 1 beat up “excellent” pistol from them. Buying from them is defiantly a gamble.
Preferisco la "beretta 98 stock" , che tra l’altro permette l’uso del soppressore senza modifiche.
Sootch you’re the man when it comes to the info provided about firearms!! I have that beretta m9 22 I got it after your review…can you compare the m9 22 against the Taurus tx22? I’d really like your opinion on which is better thanks man LLTR!!
I not like this… Disasmble taknik
I know the gun is sexy and all, but what’s with the porno music in the video Sootch?
I put about 2000 rounds through one of these once. Not ONE malfunction… A STUNNING pistol, would love one again, only all banned here in the Uk now..
What a gorgeous firearm! I need one to go along with my Beretta 71. I would trade my S&W 422 that I just bought a week ago for it.
no snap caps were hurt during this great video 🤣😄🤪✌😎
I had the pleasure of shooting one of these years ago in Canada. It was like shooting a laser. Made me feel like a champion.
What is the intro music?
I’ve heard of too many bad things about dealing with Classic Firearms for me to pull the trigger in anything they have yet
PRICE BATAO PAKISTAN MEAN KAHA MELLEE GHA
In bulls eye 2 hands shooting is not allowed and It is not the best way to test a bulls eye pistol. This is a classic club pistol, an intermediate between fun 22 pistols and a match target ISSF pistol. A great design.
Cómo compro una así vívo en Puebla
DO NOT run these guns with CCI MiniMags or any other high velocity ammo. They were designed to run on standard velocity ammo. Hi Vel ammo will cause undue wear and/or breakage. I have had one of these for many years and ran some Hi Vel through it one day. The rear sight elevation screw broke off. It was a very hard part to find. Again these are old guns designed for standard velocity ammo only.
Very disappointed. I paid extra to get a hand picked pistol. I received the item with cracked grips and quite a bit of bluing wear. I was emailed back by Victoria Coleman that they would refund the $30 hand pick option. She also sent me a link to where I could buy a set of grips. The link was for a set of grips to fit a Beretta Model 1950 not a Model 76 Target. I have searched the internet and I’m unable to find a set of Beretta Model 76 target grips. I asked if they would send me a set of grips off another pistol or refund my purchase. No response.
I agree it’s a GREAT 22LR PISTOL, I’ve got mine about 35years ago FOR $300. I have a BROWNING BULLSEYE Buck Mark with a SILHOUETTE barrel assembly, Ruger Mkll Government but I REALLY LOVE my 76W. I have a early model 71 JAGUAR with 2 spare barrels (3.5" & 6") and recently purchased a New in the box model 87 Cheetah with wood grips. I LOVE ALL MY BERETTAS. I’M A 22LR PERSON. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THEY ARE FUN AND CHEAP TO SHOOT, GREAT TRAINING TOOL. 😉😆😃😁😎
I don’t know if anyone else pointed it out, but those blue aluminum dummy rounds are NOT snapcaps. They are action proving rounds designed to test feeding and to a lesser degree extraction/ejection. The package indicates this. Generally.22 snapcaps are plastic to absorb the firing pin strike
I also have the model 70 and I also went on Ebay and bought those wood gripd. I went with the $80 ones as you did since you said they fit so Good, I wasn’t disappointed.
I ask again. What is the intro music.

Got a love the smoky 22!
As folks have said, ordering from Classic FA is a crap shoot. However, I bought this 76 from them and the Beretta Olimpia heavy barrel 22 target rifle without a hand select option and got very good condition guns. With the pandemic thing, you can’t reach them by phone (why?) and communicating with them by e-mail can take a week for a response. Generally incompetent but those guns were an interesting buy and not as overpriced as some of their other offerings.
Wish could find a model 70 or 71
I do like it, but the lack of parts & magazine availability hinders it to the point of it being irrelevant. If someone would reintroduce this pistol I would definitely be interested. Otherwise I will stick with my 5"Walther P22 or a Buckmark or Keltec CP-33. If Taurus made a 5" or longer barrel and slide this would be added to the list.
Have little use for .22 LR other than the .22 rifle from my Father in Law.
Had the 70s , got divorced ,missed out on this one, things got bad …so bad i got the 87T. Life is good. lol
Too ugly.
This is actually a very good deal for a G to VG model 76. I paid the extra for hand select and I would rate mine VG+ to EX-. I had two 76’s already that I paid between $475-$500 for 5-10 years ago, and this was definitely a huge step up in condition over either of them. One in the condition of my Classic 76 normally goes for closer to the $650-$800 range on GB. If this was being made now it would be right at $1,000, check the price on an 87T! It has the lightest trigger pull of any handgun or rifle I own, mine is also consistently 2lbs, it’s also super reliable with any 22 ammo you feed it, and accurate. The build quality is head and shoulders above any new $500 22 target pistol.
Good Job !!!
Great one it’s first time i saw this model very les recoil vibration and very accurate to shoot the target subject
Is this or is this not a C&R eligible firearm?
What was the retail cost when it came out ?
