My friends and I took four shotguns to Bolivia dove hunting. During 3.5 days of hunting we shot 15,500 shells. Two of the three Browning Golds' firing pins broke at the same spot. The Benelli worked fine, not a problem; the last BG worked ok as well. The local Browning rep said they have since changed the pins to correct the problem. Thanks for telling me, a life time Browning customer. I am now a Benelli customer. The guides in Bolivia use either Benelli's or Barettas. That tells me a lot.
