Bought a Camo version for my 14 year old (I have a Beretta 391). Since I wasn't sure how much he would use the gun, so I thought $439 at Dick's was a good price. After reading the post of turkeyhunter, I spent about an hour doing a thorough cleaning before we took it out. Went through a box of 25 Federal "cheap" shells 1-1/8 oz., 3 dram, 7-1/2 with no problems. Took it apart for cleaning and inspection afterwards, and got the rest of the cosmoline off of the moving parts. Looking forward to going out in the next day or so. BTW, will probably buy a Limbsaver, the 14 year old skinny kid had a bit of a time with the recoil - the 50 year-old was just fine.
