Beretta does not own Browning. Browning is owned by FN Herstal.

I have quite a few turkey pot calls. Slate, glass, crystal, aluminum, you name it. It's fine to buy a call someone else made. But I've been wanting to make a pot call myself, out of materials native to my state of Virginia. I'm not a wood worker. And I'm not a stone mason. But I wanted a...

Before I knew I "needed" a short barrel on a turkey shot gun, before I knew I "needed" special ammo, and before I knew I "needed" a semi-custom call, I killed turkeys with a New Haven 600 (a rebadged Mossberg 500) with a 28" barrel and C-Lect choke, and 2 3/4" #4 and #6 high brass loads. And I...

eBay has some good holsters for sale. I recommend this seller...

I've used Burris Fast Fires, Trijicon RMRs, Leupold Delta Point Pros, and now and Aimpoint Acro P-2. Now that I have some time behind the Acro, I won't go back to an open red dot sight. Aimpoint quality and battery life is a well known attibute. The sight holds zero. Is easy to adjust. And...

I love the H&R single shots. 12 gauge full choke 20 gauge mod choke 20 gauge Tracker slug

I have a hard time buying a leather holster online that is made to fit different guns of a particular size. I like to fit my gun to the holster before I buy, just to make sure it does fit. I've come across several leather holsters for guns in the Glock 26 size class, that are labeled as...

I love Glocks. I have a few. And perhaps a few more tucked away in strategic locations in the house. I've also had several come and go: G20SF, G30SF (both very problematic guns), some .357s, some 9mm Glocks I modified then sold. But never owned a .40 S&W Glock.

Well, that may be the biggest difference.

What's the difference between the 88 and 500? I understand its the safety placement and the action bars pinned to the forearm. Any other differences?
