I have never considered buying Beretta, but if they actually do move, lock,stock, and barrel. I will buy one.
I’m sure Beretta is a good company, and do not mean to demean them, I just never considered buying one, not sure why.
Beretta has been making firearms for about 500 years now.
They do a good job and make good products.
When Beretta won the US Military contract, the Beretta 92F performed very well.
“The Beretta 92F survived exposure to temperatures from -40 to 140 °F (-40 to 60 °C), being soaked in salt water, being dropped repeatedly on concrete, and being buried in sand, mud and snow. Additionally, the 92F proved a MRBF (mean rounds before failure) of 35,000 rounds. That number is often touted as the equivalent to five or six times the pistol’s service life.”
For those that don’t care for the slide-mounted safety, the Taurus, which is a copy of the Beretta 92, has the safety mounted on the frame.
I’ve fed every type of ammunition thru mine and never a hiccup. The open-slide design reduces failure to eject issues significantly.
That's pretty much the way I have thought about Beretta. I knew that even despite features I didn't care for, they generally worked well and the people who owned them seemed to hold onto them... but I remained indifferent for decades.
That has changed.
