There were variations of that type in .22LR, .32 and .380, the 70T, 70S, 71, 72 and Jaguar, to name a few. (some had 8 round mags, longer barrels and/or adjustable sights) And a target model 76 with a weighted barrel was the top model .22, which I think used the same 10 round mags as the 101. Those factory mags seem to be getting harder to find in 8 or 10 rounders. The model 101 was introduced in 1959, I suspect the import laws of '68 ended importation. Very nice guns, the models very similar I had ran well for a long time, BTW.  '59 to '68 "old"?...time flies!
