Bernardelli P-018 (Italy) not BENELLI

If it were me I wouldn't trust the guy again. I mean he did scam you once, why let him do it again?
Go to some other dealer friend.

Well talluriravi, what amazes me more than anything is the thick skin of the dealer in question. Without batting an eyelid, he's 'offering' you a golden opportunity to spend more money on what would in all probability be refurbished crap....the fellow has the cheek...in spite of the seriousness of his offense.

What do I say about the MAB... Manufacture d'Armes de Bihar? Hopefully not. So what if the Bernadelli is genuine? If I were you, I'd tell the trollop to go sodomize himself with the Husqvarna and refund. That's the least he can do after the fraudulent deal. Directly guilty or no, his attitude appalls me.

Take your business elsewhere. And have the last word if possible.

My suggestion talluri, would be to pick up an IOF Ashani... its damn ugly but it functions adequately and safely for a lot less premium...and also you'd be getting either a brand new gun or at least one that's relatively new.

Sorry I was about to congratulate on the nice looking 'Inge' you found in India guess she turned out to be a local Rani. No pun intended just trying to make light of solution agree with CC's assessment to go for IFG pistol.

talluriravi,

You have an amazing gun dealer there and allow me to say that you are falling prey to him all over again. First of all , did he admit that he sold you a fake firearm or did he plead ignorance ? How can even you trust this chap again ?

Ok lets for a second assume that he is giving you a genuine MAB or a Bernardelli this time, the price which he is quoting is way too high.

At the end of the day it is entirely your decision to buy what you like but please don't let anyone cheat you yet again !!

best,

Rp.

Friends........please guide me ......today the dealer returned my money without a sigle question .....and i also applied for sale permission......now tell me......most of the people told me ...never even think about IOF PISTOL.....wat should i do within my budget....please help me in this issue.....

Hi Tillu,

I am an owner of two iof guns, .22 rev and .32 pistol. Till date i haven't found any flaws in them. So, I strongly recommend you to go for an iof product. I know the looks are a bit ugly but, in comparision with old firangi guns they are dirt cheap.

Hi talluriravi,

I glad your money was returned. What disturbs me is that the dealer now still has the fake firearm and can still cheat some other unsuspecting customer.

When we bad mouth (Mostly me ) IOF products, it doesn't imply that they are non-functional paperweights. In fact they do work surprisingly well. The crib is with the less than ideal quality control. Additionally the designs and technology is uninspired and obsolete....and certainly old fashioned. Nothing original or 'modern' and overpriced by international standards... of course its in the bottom of the price rung by Indian standards, so you should be able to make significant savings.

If you can swallow these bitter pills, I'd recommend you go ahead and get yourself an IOF Ashani. If you don't mind the waiting period and order straight from the factory, you'll save even more money. Don't forget to order extra magazines....as much as you can afford and as much as they can let you have.

A competent gunsmith can look it over and fine tune it for more consistent performance. Though very possible, don't go over board with enhancing its appearance as you'll end up spending more money....thus upsetting the 'affordable' tag that mad you go for IOF in the first place

A Recent raid by Kolkata police recoverd this pile of country made firearms from some dacoits in Posta Area in Kolkata, as you can see in the picture, this includes three Bihar made Swedish Husqvarna Pistol the only difference is, they are 9 mm instead of .32 and oh yes the slides looks different here. Probably they named it Beretta this time

H.S.BRISTO SWEDEN 784562? bristo sounds like some eytilon cafe to me.

i am happy that you got your money back. however there is one morel issue that has not been dealt with.

and that is that fake arms not produced under gov.t license is still in the dealer shop. waiting for one more sucker to come by.

has anyone made a report to the police regarding selling of fake/illegally produced arms?

so what have we done to curb this? whose moral responsibility this should be?

[marksman]

I agree with nagarifle. One must report this case to police. This dealer is surely hand in glove with the fake gun mafia. After all, it's not easy to palm off a crude pistol like this to a dealer who is supposed to be in the know of weapons more then any normal citizen. The least one can do is report it immediately.

Completely agree with Naga on this, that pistol is still there waiting for some other un-informed buyer. Talluriravi was lucky he found IFG but not everyone is lucky like him. I am sure some other buyer going to get conned soon if this is not stopped.

When Me and Pran visited Police commissioner for our license application, He told us that too much proliferation is happening from licensed arm holders to black market and that is one of the reasons for our license application denial. Now somebody needs to show him this. Because of this non-sense import ban, illegal arm manufacturers and dealers are making money on the cost of poor license holders as well as tax advantage for government.

Can somebody please teach these idiots to think logically? Who is getting benefited from this import ban? Certainly not common man or government of INDIA

Talluriravi said he's a leading advocate, hope he's already brought this matter to the attention of Visakhapatnam's top police officials. What is the name of this arms dealer and what did he have to say about how he got the pistol? Best, Ram.
