Our Assessment: Founded in the year 1526, Beretta manufactured firearm components in Europe for hunting and for wartime. From a company that has been around for almost 500 years, we like to remind ourselves “age before beauty”. This firearm was designed to withstand the test of time. The beretta is the designated firearm used by our armed forces since 1985. This mechanical piece of art will be a great addition to your collection. Its unique coloration will make it stand out among your collection. This particular beretta may require some cleaning before you take it to the firing range, but once you start to use it you won’t be able to put it down. The short recoil action expells the casings cleanly without difficulty, but don’t forget to wear your eye wear. The thinner vertical grips create the comfort you need to hit the bullseye every time. Happy shooting!
