wingshooter I like the way you think.
From a monetary stand point if I keep the blank below $1000 I am way ahead in this gun. If I can get away with spending $400,I am that much further ahead. I dont have to have expensive but I do have to have nice.
When blanks get compared to women that creates a small problem in that I havent seen many that I didnt like.
Chuck this Beretta is nothing like current production. It was made in the SO shop in the 50's. Wrist is quite slender. The stockmaker that I have been talking to described it as dainty. So I think strength in the wrist area is imperitive.
