Automatic safeties are an abomination to me and many others, as we've often discussed here. However, having one on a gun you like otherwise is not a reason pass it up. Converting an automatic safety to manual(for adult use) is usually quite easy. On modern guns like the Berettas it's likely a rod that can be removed, without cutting anything off. It can be saved to be re-installed for a future owner.
