Hey, it was sitting in a CT store in a town of 9000 people so I didn't think I was looking at some exotic import. I've sent a message to Beretta to find out what it's all about.
And I wonder why. See some produce seconds, dump odd balls, surplus etc etc and places like CT make offers and buy them up.
Don't think that happens well I remember the calls my father would get when he ran his gun shop being offered such. Yes it is real
In fact some even make special production runs for Walmart or other big box stores with specs changed just enough to make them cheaper than a local gun shop
Be interesting what they tell you but I don't expect they will say too much
Cheers
