barrie I have also had the same gun it would not recycle reliably. it went back to wence it came for a full refund.
a dirt cheap beretta 300 series, ie, 300/301/302/390.
totally reliable easy to clean and a good resale value.
a second hand beretta is a better buy than a new fab, or any other semi.
infallable.
the gun you see is a al390 gold mallard.
THanks for the reply looks like I bought a Lemon it seems gun shops are as bad as used car dealers.
