Parts have always been a problem. Beretta had poor product support here back then and the situation never improved. I had a couple BL and they were good handling guns. I had one break an extractor and it was a pain replacing it. Rich Cole was the Beretta guru back then and he had nothing on hand and had no idea when or if he would come up with one. Numrich Arms was no more helpful so I had Rich make me an extractor for a moderately expensive price.
The BL series are nice guns but they are not one I would want as my only gun. One could be out of a gun for an extended time and potentially end up with a relatively high repair cost.
