Perhaps the best thing about Beretta is the fact that they have been family owned since their founding.
Now that's impressive!

Good post Anni. I have quite a few Beretta pistols (and also firearms from their other family companies (Benelli, Stoeger, and Uberti, etc.). I especially own several different models of their 9mm 92/M9 series.

I once attended the NRA annual convention in Houston.
The Beretta booth had a few of their double rifles on display. I had the opportunity to handle, fondle and drool over one of their more pedestrian 470 Nitros.
At that time it was a mere $12,000.

The sales folks treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy.

The poor schlub that was me was VERY impressed with both the firearm and the personnel!

The oldest manufacturing firm, not just of firearms but of anything, period. Wow. I didn't know that.

I am fortunate enough to live a short drive from the Beretta Gallery in Dallas. It's amazing to see their entire production line in one store. The shotgun line is impressive. The last time I was in, they had a sample of the Manuhrin Revolver they just started distributing. The Gallery is definitely worth a visit if you ever find yourself in the area.

Good read Anni, thanks!
Like firearms history almost as much as the guns.
