AFAIK, no one makes new magazines for the Beretta Model 70 Puma.
Gun Parts Corporation lists parts for the Beretta Model 70 Puma, but shows that they are out of stock on the 8 round .32ACP magazines.
Sarco lists Beretta Model 87 Puma magazines, but does not show their status. So, you'll have to contact them to see if they have any in stock.

I found a single mag for my New Puma at a Houston area gunshow several years ago and paid about $25. I still see them around at shows for $30. They seem to be of adequate quality.
I like the pistol and have owned it for, oh, maybe 15 years. I bought it to replace a dural frame PPK in the same cailibre that I sometimes carried illegally in an appendix carry.
The pistol was made in 1962 and is a stylish and trim design. It has the same linear measurements as a J-frame Smith and is flatter. The Beretta and two spare magazines is a better carry package than the revolver and a speedloader while providing superior firepower (in exchange for inferior stopping power). The semi is certainly easier to shoot accurately than my 642 Airweight; shooting single action with my Model 38, I'm as accurate, but slower. There are obviously a lot of trade offs with either platform. I'll occasionally carry the Beretta instead of one of the .38s, but only when the chance of conflict seems slim.

Follow this link for a phone number to Dawson's small arms in Woodbridge VA. They have a drawer between the registers full of odds and ends that held a Beretta 70 mag last time I was in there.

Worth a shot, no pun intended.
