WABS Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 I purchased a Beretta AL 390 (20 gauge) a few months back. To make a long story short I found the Owner's Manual that came with the gun VERY uninformative, almost confusing. I've been around guns all my life and have a pretty good idea how they work, but I always read the "book" before I operate. The problem this time it didn't help. Some of the features of the gun I found out be accident and even then trying to go back into the book to read more about it I couldn't. I'm not a genius, but I have a Masters in Engineering, and if I'm having trouble I'd guess I'm not the only one. I'd like to hear what others have to say.

AJ Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: Owner\'s Manual Problems I have not looked at a Beretta manual, so I can not really say how informative they are. I thought you were an A5 kind of guy? Give Beretta a holler, they are just across the creek in MD. Beretta U.S.A.

WABS Posted December 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: Owner\'s Manual Problems I am an A5 guy and that's probably part of the problem. I'd bought the Beretta (20 gauge) for my son. If I could find an old A5 (20 gauge) I would hav bought it. The Beretta operates quite a bit different than my A5s so in aviation language I'm suffering from negative habit transfer. Beretta did send me a survey and when I filled it out I expressed my disappointment with the manual. Gun shots great though once I got it on the range. I went 23/25 the first round of trap I shot with it. Happy Holidays!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
