Sadly it was stolen. I want to find one for my grandson for his 12th birthday. Would yours by chance be for sale? Thanks, Gary Bunker Prescott AZ Dear Gary,

It has not had a box of shells fired through it. It was made in Brazil yet it has the Beretta name on it. I have wondered about the value of the gun.

My 1st firearm, bought at a Flea Market in Charleston, SC for 50.00 in the mid 80s. I was about 15 yrs old I wish I was smart enough back then to have saved it. 410 ammo was high, back then for a young teenager. I sold it to a buddy who ruined it. I deployed to Iraq in 2004-05 and started my love affair with firearms and now look back at what a nice firearm it was. I'm currently in Afghanistan deployed as a Scout Sniper. I qualified as a B4 ( Sniper School ) back in Sept 2009 @ Camp Robinson, and Fort Chaffe. God Bless America and thank you all for your support of our Soldiers. I owned a 410 model of this Beretta.

Definitely the Beretta was a treat, it was my first gun, and I highly recommend it.

It was a pretty nifty folding 12 Gauge, but I never saw one in person, and I was looking! I wasn't aware that anyone had done this before. I love single barrel shotguns because they're cheap, plentiful, and often work as take-down models, but folding models sound even better!

Having more than one barrel just seems really inefficient to me (unless you need it for cooling, like on a gatling gun...). If you need to shoot more than once rapidly, use an autoloader.

That's roughly the time required for one of us to forget how painful it is to shoot and to take it out again. The stock has been drilled and filled with shot, after which the gun promptly cracked its stock almost in two just behind the grip. It is a magical weapon, to be sure.
