garymc Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have had my Bettinsoli for over 12 years and love it. A great gun and good price. Use google to read some reviews and also go to a gun dealer and try a few out for fit etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBS Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 have only use a bettinsoli once, and it double discharged. Second hand Beretta a better bet in my opinion. Gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Second hand Bettinsoli, I would say. Some of the new ones appear to have quality problems. I use mine as a rough gun and it never gives any trouble. There must be a club up your way that has a bettinsoli as a club gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 My local gunsmith hates betinsolli's, no end of problems, either not selecting bottom barrel or double discharging. generally a poor quality item. sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry b Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 hi there in my opinion, if your looking at spending £900ish i would be thinking more beretta or browning,not having ownned a bettinsoli but own a beretta and the quality is very good and looks good too,good luck with your choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbart Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Never owned one,but 2 lads on shoots i have been on had problems with theirs.Both brand new,one double discharged and the other wouldnt fire(between the 2 there was a good gun in there somewhere )so i think they are not the most reliable gun out there.

Gordon R Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Just don't do it. You will lose a mint. You can get a Beretta or nearly new Miroku MK38 for that money. Both are on a different planet quality and resale-wise. Massive mistake. If you must go Bettinsoli - there is a nearly new one on here at £500. Lot of gun for that money.

Paddy Galore! Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I think he's set his heart on one lads! Don't do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Decent gun, but not at that sort of money. The one on here is the right price for a good gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 to be blunt about it------i would shop around for a beretta 686/687 or a comparable browning. i really believe that even if you have to pay a bit more you would have alot more for your money.

exeller8007 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have had a bettinsoli diamond line for about 3 months now and it has had around 700 cartridges through it without a problem, and to be honest i have been hitting between 17 and 22 out of 25, i have only been shooting since dec last year, i have tried different makes of gun but it was my personal choice in the end, for around £700 i dont think you can go wrong with a bettinsoli, unless you have a higher budget then you could be looking for a second hand berreta or browning.
