I have no problems with the design or look but then I LIKE Darnes!
It appears from this reference http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/shotgun/gun-reviews-beretta-486-parallelo-shotgun
that the gun has been designed for today's world. I have seen one reference where the safety is manual and another where if the gun is held in a less than level position, the safety goes to ON.
Whatever is the correct working, I applaud Beretta for designing something new!
I would also expect that modern manufacturing methods and maintenance have been melded into the design process.
As to double triggers being better than single triggers, that ship has long ago sailed. So called 'experts', don;t like anything new or different, be it double triggers, PDK transmissions, semi conductor amps and the list goes on.
Me, 'the proof is in the pudding' and I wouldn;t disparage the gun until I shot one.
But from what I have learned it's only available in 3" 12 gauge at about 7#s.
Too heavy for a field gun for me and too light for waterfowl or Clays.
It does have a certain aesthetic appleal to me but I just don't require another shotgun.-Dick
