Wally World Beretta 390's

[CWPINST]

Anybody ever used one of these? I am thinking about getting a 20ga. for my son. I understand that Beretta has long stopped making these and WW's supply is slowly drying up. A friend of mine said that he shot a 12ga and that they had a stout recoil for a gas gun. I would appreciate comments on recoil, reliability, and suceptibility of the gas system to getting gunked up. How is the 391 different?

Thanks

Snake Jenkins has one and loves it.

I just got a 12 ga. one over the summer and love it! I did take it to my gunsmith to have him replace the plastic butt plate that comes on it with a nice recoil pad. Last Sat. on the dove field it felt like I was shooting a 20 ga. auto, and I shot better with it than I have shot in a long time.

Great gun for a great price, although it's the first gas-operated gun I've owned in a while and we'll see how it holds up to the elements.

I had to call all over to find mine. I found it at Wally World on Hwy. 9 in Boiling Springs, SC and they had a few other 12's and some 20's as well at the time.

I just called the W-M up in Boiling Springs and they have one 12 in stock, but they are not on clearance. The 20's are on clearance for $450. They said they are still going to carry the 12. Kinda hard due to the fact that Beretta is switching to the 391...
