Sorry to hear about your bad experience. The last two brand new guns I bought were both custom Berettas from Cole Gunsmithing. They were both done right the first time and have performed flawlessly. Don't give up, there are good new guns to be had. If you ever consider a new O/U again contact Rich Cole at Cole Gunsmithing. IMHO, they know more about Berettas than the folks at Beretta USA know.
