Only thing you can say that's better than the beretta is a fraction of a pound in weight and ergonomically feels better, but that will vary from shooter to shooter soo that's not a solid standpoint really

Man if your dropping your gun in the water 3 times a year, I think you may be doing something wrong!
Between 10 different guys that Hunt with me we haven't submerged our guns 3 times in the last 15 yrs.
Oh, and were not hunting pit blinds in rice fields, it's cane patches and mud flats in Venice! Just as tough as the wax.

Between my father and I we have an assortment of diff. Shot guns in the last 30 yrs A5's, Golds, super black eagle 1,2's& 2 vinci's, and 2 berettas!
The only ones that continuously make there way back into the marsh is the benelli's! They just work!
I've had issues with every gun mentioned , but the least are the benelli's!
I'd put money that every gun mentioned above would make it through a weekend of hunting after being submerged , but to knowingly neglect a 1,000-2,000 dollar shotgun after being submerged in saltwater marsh is just plain ignorant!
I really believe its cases like this that make it hard for a honest sportsman to get warranty work done on a firearm for manufactured defects!
