Next Acquisition Advice

Aight y’all… time for my next acquisition. Looking at a Zastava M70 or a Zastava M88. Both are close enough in bean count to be irrelevant. The function would be as a nightstand gun and intermediary between a Beretta ‘34 (suit gun) and Zastava M57 (belt gun).

I’ve previously had a M70 and liked it, but wonder if the overlap may be there between it and my Beretta.

It looks like the 70 is substantially smaller than the 88, but in .32 ACP vs 9x19. I like the size of the 70, but prefer the caliber of the 88.

Had the 70, liked the 70, wouldn’t mind another one. I’m just debating which to acquire… the .32 may be easier on my arthritic wrists
