I’ve had a Berretta A400 12 too. Very good looking gun; good shooting gun. But, again, for me and the miles we walk for pheasants, it’s just too heavy when compared with the simpler, lighter Benelli guns. So why carry the extra weight?

As they say, your “mileage” may vary.

Oh, an additional point not insignificant to me. I’m a lefty. The Beretta A400’s safety is reversible but complicated and requires a Bereatta-certified ‘Smith to do it. Benelli’s safeties are stupid-simple to reverse (Benelli must have my profile).

Why don’t I buy a true lefty even if I can reverse the safety? Resale. Love those Ben’s.
