I also cannot warm up to the way the fences are shaped and the lack of a top tang. Might just be me but I find it not very appealing. http://www.bertramandco.com/ Booking African hunts, firearms import services Here for the meltdowns

Otherwise, I like the barrels without the typical join showing. I like that the gun is "sleek". I like that Beretta introduced a new side by side! Mark USMC Retired

Guns that I pick up, never having seen before, and run 23-25 with at some form of clays game, start to impress me as I'm walking off the field. Bet it would be expensive for a gun you shot well, but, didn't like looking at. Not crazy about single triggers, but, I suppose the designer is into minimalist thinking. Best, Ted

The result is a perfect junction of two surfaces, which creates a higher aesthetic value."
