I almost bought one at the Rod and Gun store. It was a 9mm though. They were even starting to put on a red dot for me (which you need for this weapon), or a holographic sight. Then I saw the P226r in the corner......
Never have understood 45acp as a carbine rifle round. Great pistol cartridge, but too slow to gain much from the longer barrel, IMO. Maybe loading it with a slightly slower burning powder would prove otherwise.
I'd take an ultralight and compact Kel-Tec Sub2000 with G18 (30+ rd) mags over the double-the-price Beretta any day, and spend the extra $300-400 on ammo/mags.
Don't get me wrong, the Beretta is probably in fact a very good rifle. But I'd sell it in a second and direct those funds toward an AR, AK, a 30/30 lever, or maybe even the right 22lr setup.
Just my own preferences. 45acp kinda sucks as a rifle round for my tastes. 9mm isn't great either in that facet, but it seems better to me.
Of course these days, anything you get a deal on is amazing in and of itself. It is definitely a sellers market currently. If you don't forsee much use, perhaps take some profit and get something more likely to be useful?
To get an answer to that it might be wise to ask the prophets!
