Based on my experience, this is probably to blame the American side of Beretta, not the Beretta Italy. Americans love to sabotage European companies. (I wish I am making this up) Almost every visit to a Porsche dealers in Southern California (Newport Beach, Irvine, Carlsbad and with dealing with Porsche headquarters in Atlanta, GA) during 6 years of owning new 718 Boxster and 911 4S Carrera was beyond terrible. Some terrible things I have on tape. Not much better experience with servicing my Ducati Panigale in San Diego and Newport Beach, and my terrible experience with CZ Custom, Phoenix, AZ and Glock Store in San Diego. But if this can make you feel a little better, I had to return my Mossberg 590 back because it came defective and they sent me a replacement in reasonable timeframe, but not a single word regarding inconvenience. Later on I had to return my S&W M&P 2.0 Metal for few issues and they return my gun without addressing the main issue and not a single word or phone call to explain why. So I had to put my pistol for sale, I can’t have anything that is not perfect. I recently purchased Beretta 1301 Tactical Model 2 which is working great. Hopefully will stay that way.
This guy is obviously a wizard with a pump shotgun. I have been shooting my Mossberg 500 for 30 years and I can not even come close to his pump skills. If I were really in a jamb, I would really rather have my Stoger M3000. BTW, if you are not familiar with the Stoger M3000, you should really check it out. A fine, affordable Benelli clone
For a regular Joe or Josephine the semi will probably be faster as there will be less multitasking in shooting, aiming, and reloading. Highly experienced shooters will fall to preference, in my opinion.
This is dumb question... And ive been thinking about this since I've learned about pump shotguns... Why can't the charging mechanism be push to pump, instead of pull to pump? Push to pump will follow the direction of the recoil, and will take less effort to charge the gun overall. Is this a mechanical limitation? Or are most pump shotguns just following traditions since pull to pump has been the norm?
probably many reasons, but one that I could think of is that your grip on the gun would be further toward the receiver and less stable than it would be on a normal pump shotgun
This probably isn’t the best place to ask but I’m going to an outdoor range and I have a belt with a holster in it.. I want to take it and use it but I wouldn’t be going often. Should I leave it at home or should I take it out for the first time? Im under no impression that I’d be shooting like this, I’m thinking it’s a start but the people I’m going with are just going plinking..
I would get some holster training first if you haven't already. Holster work is one of the most dangerous things to do in handgun training. Mainly because at some point during the draw or reholster, the muzzle of the handgun will be oriented close to your lower extremities. Something to think about. Stay safe.
Some people are a little bit finger happy hey... I recall the guy who got a bowling ball through the gutter, literally right through. The owner of the that place happened to be a Bosnian vet from the 7th regiment of cavalry. Most rugged man I've ever met. Not only did he repair it during the night and it was like it never happened, but he then proceeded to absolutely DISMANTLE that guy with the rigor of a commandier on D.I. duty. "THE BALL IS COMING BACK UP. DO YOU PUT. YOUR. FINGERS. WHERE. THE BALL. IS. COMING?!!" "... no s i r." It was a moment to remember!
Their service really is horrible and very very slow. My 32 acp came back broken with a note that they cleaned it. Piece of crap. I'm down to 2 old 380s from them and I won't be buying anymore and it's a shame cuz they make kinda cool stuff
The standard tier one axis elite holster conceal really well. The extra mag conceals better than a standard holster without the extra mag. I love them. The holster he is using I havnt tried. I dont care to change the angle of mine because it works just fine like it is.
Nice draw, very crisp smooth movements and the sidearm stays really tight to your body before marrying with the support hand. Thank you for the education
Yeah their customer service is hot dog crap!! I'm debating on a nicer semi auto . I even have a promo code but I don't think it's worth dealing with Beretta again. It's really really bad
The idea is to not break the wrist while drawing the magazine (speed simplified). Once you get near that 45* mark you start to notice you’re losing time because you’re pulling away from where you want to go, which is back to the gun. Something to think about.
I had been wanting an Axis Elite for a long time. Finally saved up the money to get one. Got it. Loved it! Still do. But not even 2 weeks after I got it, they came out with this! Now I have to start saving again! 😂 Love the idea of really getting that cant on the mag carrier. One question. Is the adjustable grid panel flexible at all? Does it form to and wrap around your belt line like the bungee design of the Axis Elite?
