I have a Beretta Xtrema 2 and a Winchester SX2. I prefer the Winchester SX2 better because it fits me betterand it absolutely never jams. However, the Beretta Xtrema 2 is probably built of better materials such as stainles steel and Beretta's Aqua (or whatever) technology, which makes the gun virtually corrosion-proof. So, it's hard to tell you which one to get. The Beretta is an incredible duck gun because of it's ability to withstand harsh weather, but don't buy it just because it's a Beretta. Give the Winchester a good look. It's every bit as dependable as the Beretta, just not as high-tech.
