Ya a purse, Made by Berretta fashionable black with Laser site and 15 round mags, loaded with black talon anti personnel rounds, and have had it for 30 years I enjoy any opportunity that comes along to shoot it, like at the end of TRR at the range. My newest carry along in my truck is a watchdog 12g with 1.5 ounce sabot rounds and 9 round buck shot packs. I have not taken the time to shoot it but looking forward to going to the range with it. Nosbusa saw it picked it up and stopped by his shop that day.

I wouldn't waste those black talons. Or you could give them to me :)

Ive since received new replacements. I thanked Mike for sending them, but also told him I will not be putting them back on. He is looking into the problem with the manufacturer, but until some changes are made I dont think they should be sold for this use.

I didn't have concern for imperfections the first time around, but looking at these NEW ones leaves no question to why this happens. The outer coating looks to have started to chip prior to painting, or was touched up after assembly. Several of them appeared to have dinged up during assembly which questiosn their road durability and looks to be pretty poor prep underneath their final spray.

The QC is not in M&Rs control, but selling them is. Hate to be that guy, but hopefully this will help correct the problem before others go through this. The response of "coat them with a linex spray" just isnt a solution for me...
