There both Italian.  :D

But the Beretta is demonstrated by a good ol southern boy who use to be a bounty hunter.

I had no complaints with my Beretta, but was happy to sell it after I got my Browning Over/Under. ;) I have the "Special Skeet" in 12 Ga. and .410.  Love em.

oh, I work guns just fine thank you very much. ;)

but in a semi-auto one that digest all types of ammo is a plus.

I like those Model 11's 8)

mine was probably built round 1920, it was the ones built on the Browning Patent before Browning sued.
Now there was an old Remington Model 48 in the family before a fire got it and
it was a sweet shooting gun also.

this is the same as mine, slider safety in the trigger guard. I was just reading up on the safety and
looks like mine was made prior to 1911 since the safety was changed then. The thing is pretty old eh?
Man, that makes it a 100 years old now. Wow.

I think I remember reading somewhere that they are both owned by the same company?

Anyway, what's wrong with a Remington 1100? Set up properly, it should eat just about anything you can feed it.

I have a beretta 390. Its the short barreled, camo version. Great for turkey/squirrel. Besides the short barrel its good for dove. My only complaint that I've ever had with it is that it does like to jam. You have to clean it religiously and be picky about what ammo you use if youre using low brass. Shooting high brass, I've never had any problems whatsoever with it though. It could also have a higher cap magazine, but the argument to that is I just shouldn't miss  :-\

The dealer near me has had one of these on the floor for a couple of years.  It's been marked down to around $11k if I remember right.  If only......

I don't think Beretta makes a similar bike to this, so can't help with your decision  ;D
