I have had the 390 (Walmart version) for several years. I think it is a real bargin. It has never failed me
I'm guessing Mr Wakeman's not too happy with Walmart and buying everything from China. But who is? I'm in manufacturing and I see a constant desire by upper management to move production to other countries to increase the bottom line. Oh well....back to guns. I don't think you could go wrong with the Beretta.
I've not said anything bad about the 390; I can't-- I still have three of them.
Some years back, when Beretta discontinued the 390 in favor of the 391, a lot of people were a bit disappointed-- including myself. The 390 is superior to the 391 in several ways, although the finished 391 today is a fine gun.
Beretta denied the existece of the "WW" guns, said it was all a mistake... they were bargains then, going for far less than dealer cost on the least expensive 390 models at the time. Beretta pro shops were not happy.
The 390 was and is a fine gun, good enough to come back as the 3901 recently. The 390 is less hassle than the 391, and the 302 / 303 / 304 series that preceded them was simpler yet.
