DGM,

Unable to offer anything useful other than to say I agree with your appreciation of P Beretta sxs guns and am impressed at the build quality I've seen. My very much used 1949 403 Stella looks its age but locks up with a silky smooth solidity hardly seen on new guns. There's something about it that feels just right. I'm with you in being interested in learning more about the sxs models and range of production, seems to be some strong traditions there.
