I wonder where Beretta would be on the hit parade were it not for the military contract and the Lethal Weapon movie franchise. Remember that S&W Model 29's were gathering dust on gun store shelves till Dirty Harry was released, (I should know, that's when I got mine). Not that there's anything wrong with Beretta, there isn't. But this ongoing plastic gun hate should have run it's course. Glocks and M&P's are proven commodities. Their dependability is a matter of record. This argument is akin to who makes the best pickup truck, never ending.
