Beretta 950

I just picked up a Beretta 950 (no safety model) in 22 Short. Came with a single magazine. Factory replacement magazines are pretty costly. Aftermarket such as Triple K aren't cheap and unfortunately .... they're made by Triple K.
What is cheap are Model 21 magazines in 22 lr. Will these fit into a 950, can a spacer be added similar to what is done with 10mm to 40 S&W mags?
I see 950 model barrels and slides in 25 ACP are pretty cheap (and mags cost about $18.00 each, made by MecGar) and am wondering if the ACP slide/barrel can be dropped on to the 22 frame.
This isn't a gun I'd shoot often. Just a bit of experimentation and being economical getting together.

Years ago, I had one of older German made pocket automatics from the 20's. It was a Ortgies .32, that had magazine, that was also usable for .380. Because the 32's, was a semi-rimed cartridge. That aren't that much smaller in diameter, than the rimless 380. Same,same as the .22 Short and the .25ACP
Calibers of the 950 should fit on the same frame, but minor fitting may be required.

The 950 is an excellent little gun. I believe MecGar makes magazines for them, or you can check Ebay.
And, the 950s are "real" guns.
Well, I do already have an Escort. Just in case ...
From what I see, the 22 short mag has a spacer up front with a little ramp. I'm doubting the ACP could be adapted without it being a PITA. I picked up a few 22 short mags at the Reno show on the cheap, will see how they work. Once CA allows me to pick up the deadly 950.
Thanks -
