Let's see over the years I have owned Remington autos, Browning autos, Benelli, and Beretta. All good in their own right. No real problems with any of them. But if I could only pick one for the rest of my life the choice wouldn't be that hard. FOR ME the Beretta is better balanced and a better fit. Therefore it shoots like a dream for me and has always been reliable. More expensive, yes, but worth every dime in my book.
