I think you’ll enjoy your Beretta.
There is nothing very practical about it...too big to carry concealed easily, too small to put down a drug crazed grizzly bear, etc...but I just plain like it. I especially like the ‘feel’.
I had used this pistol in the Army and liked it; but, I was somewhat ignorant of the Beretta company. Literature in the box stated the company was 500 years old! With a ‘Beretta’ still at the helm. Truly amazing.
There’s an Italian bronze foundry/bell maker that’s twice as old as Beretta and still run by the original family.
