mikky Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 thanks for all your input,what is amazing is that there seems to be quality issues associated with the brand name Berretta...not sure i want to be paying 1000 quid up for a 20 yr old gun on the other hand i dont want to pay the same for a new one with potential problems....bottom line is i am on a ltd budget so i guess you get what you pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huds78 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 thanks for all your input,what is amazing is that there seems to be quality issues associated with the brand name Berretta...not sure i want to be paying 1000 quid up for a 20 yr old gun on the other hand i dont want to pay the same for a new one with potential problems....bottom line is i am on a ltd budget so i guess you get what you pay for I haven`t `touch wood` had any quality problems with my Silver Pigeon 1 (around 8 months old now) but can`t compare to a an older one as I`ve never had one. One thing to bear in mind is that as soon as 1 person has a problem nowadays is they go straight on an internet forum advertising it where as 20-30 years ago if the same percentage of guns had issues they would have been returned or fixed pretty much locally without the masses reading about it ? so by now any niggles would be sorted out and forgotten about. Another thought though is if you pay £1000 for a 20yr old gun it will be certainly be proven and the chances are it will hold its value in the future. I myself bought my gun by looking at the fit and as I said before narrowed it down to 2 makes had I read about the supposed quality issues I may have gone the other way ? who knows ? but I`m happy with my Beretta. I`d go with what feels right for you within your budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
