Inside the Beretta Custom Shop

This is the building when the legendary SO range is built, the stunning Marc Newson guns and SL guns are created and to our surprise the DT11 is assembled and finished.
We check out the wood room, meet the stockers, watch the gunsmiths and finishers at work and get a look inside the wonderful engraving house.
This was a bucket list visit!

I had the privilege of doing the Beretta tour, both factories and the museum, something to behold by any gun lover.

[@markushiller1753]

Your films are getting better and better. I can not imagine what skill and passion is put into every Custom Beretta. Now I love my White Onyx even more. Thank you Johnny for sharing that expirience with us. Greetings from Germany

[@redduc9523]

I did not want this one to end!! Jonny, Sasha you guys are amazing!! The story telling, the cinematography this is why you guys are number one. Can’t wait for part three and then the box set directors cut limited edition!! So honored to call you guys friends!

[@amessad]

My friend you must have THE most underrated YT channel in the net....!!! Thank you!

[@meanredspider]

We visited Beretta in the mid-80s - stunning place. The craftsmanship involved was stunning - especially the engraving

[@paulb5924]

Certainly better production values than much of what I'll see on TV nowadays. Speaks volumes about the products you're looking at and speaks volumes about your passion for the subject. Well done!

[@paulwilson7234]

Well said.

[@vincenzotesoro4211]

Great video thanks the beretta guy really knows his stuff.and the engraver is so humble makes me proud to be Italian and don’t want to forget the interviewer does a great job he’s brilliant. Thanks so much.

[@DT10L]

It is called Plant 2. My DT 10L was assembled there as well as My DT 11 which with serial number 895, had EELL wood as all built to 1000 had the upgraded wood. All assembled shotguns in Plant 2 are returned to the original assembler for servicing. I had an issue with the DT10L after one year of servicing in Italy. I was offered a DT 11 in exchange. This was a fabulous shotgun. with lovely wood, crisp triggers of under 4 pounds and great patterns that aftermarket chokes could not reproduce! As I have been shooting in Europe at major events for over 22 years, I have had my Beretta shotguns for the most part serviced by Mario and his mobile workshop, until he retired a few years ago!. He was the feedback to the factory engineers for any required up grade etc. In Europe one gets free free servicing and upgrades for ones shotguns.

[@bernieinsaudi]

Content, subject matter, presentation & audio/videography wouldn’t be out of place on national TV. Excellent.

[@daveemerson6549]

The cleanliness and obvious quality of the custom shop blew me away. In the early 2000's, I worked in the metal finish dept. at Thompson / Center at their Rochester, NH factory. The "custom shop" was one old-timer at a dimly lit workbench in the center of my department. Me and another guy helped him out when he had mirror finish jobs on barrels, etc. The Baretta shop is like another planet.

[@yodasmomisondrugs7959]

That was fekin awesome! No wonder their guns are so beautiful just look at the gorgeous mountain valley town they are made in.

[@Brucey865]

Being a carpenter I could only dream of being a stock maker. Such satisfaction and beauty

[@jerryvincent8402]

Great firearm.🇺🇸🐻I have a nephew that has had the privilege of visiting Beretta. This video was a very nice addition to my years of shooting,thank you.

[@jeanmorin3247]

One does not know, seeing this film, if it is a documentary or a publicity for Beretta. Surely, Beretta must be very pleased to see such a praising overview of their industrial complex and on their products. As a viewer, however, I must say that, in this case. I do not care at all where the demarcation is. This is a completely enjoyable visit to a place that I would not have access on my own. The fact that you can go about the place, pick up whatever you want to show us, and apparently say whatever you want to say about what you are holding in your hands, is very, very pleasant to follow. The artistic direction of this video is also top notch for the category. No wonder that I eat it right up. Congratulations on an outing to a beautiful place that fills one with pleasure. Top Job!

[@hixyhicks]

Your videos are a work of art. Beretta Must be over the moon with it. Amazing 👏

[@v1_rotate638]

Oh my. That SL2 is a work of art

[@tgsoutdoors]

It’s very pretty!

[@ethanwalsh3668]

Beretta is one of the best gunsmiths I’ve ever seen they have elegance to their guns and power as well

[@pw5519]

Best Beretta video I've ever seen. This video has taken my respect of Beretta to a whole new level.

[@CraigK80]

Very interesting indeed. Now get yourself over to Germany and visit the K factory JC. Great vid as always guys!

[@37078Chris]

Wonderfully told tour of a wonderful company!

[@usnchief1339]

Wonderful journey...thank you!

[@BB-tm7gx]

this bought tears to my eyes. growing up shooting in UK i managed to get a new but cheap gold trigger sporting Beretta and it was the best by far i ever had. Friends i shot with ended up buying much more expensive ones than i could ever have afforded but i still loved mine. funny i made my living installing boilers made by Beretta the quality was also astounding . I look at this documentary and it brings those years back . thankyou so much

[@darellkettley6622]

OMG Lads what a second film!! outstanding watch loved it . Laying on sofa with the flu 🤒this cheered me up happy Christmas to all at TGS well done bring on 2023 !!👌👏👏

[@cedhome7945]

My wife has a 56e from 1977 and although it is a little bit tatty it's build quality and solid feel make some of the new guns at the local club seem poorly finished . fantastic to see the top end being built

[@royjennison3916]

wow , that was just amazing , i did also like the carbon gun stock too . what a great company to work for.

[@tomhman6441]

These videos are the best. Only second to your Holts videos.

[@bjolly8924]

It's hard to imagine a more satisfying and fulfilling job.

[@nickallen5477]

Johnny, I have been watching since the very beginning , absolutely love the knowledge you share and the beautiful guns you present, the quality of your productions now is world class and a real testament to the journey you and your team have brought to us shooters the world over , well done and keep them coming. Respect from Australia mate!

[@tgsoutdoors]

♥️

[@kevinryan2626]

Thanks Johnny, I felt like I was in the factory with you. Pure class..

[@danielnewman134]

This video was extremely well done and informative. This shows the beauty of handcrafted firearms built by people that have skills that are only a few steps from complete perfection. I will start my search for acquiring Beretta Firearm.

[@bryanquinn1122]

Just wonderful !

[@bryanquinn1122]

@text8748 look forward to it

[@felixd7818]

Well, you certainly have the very best production quality on KZbin. I’m very happy you share that with us concerning topics we all enjoy and appreciate. Thank you.

[@eduffy4937]

I have been a custom stockmaker(carved wood) for 15years now and this just makes me smile.

[@josephgittos3787]

Wow that was amazing to watch not just the Beretta factory but how well you guys filmed it

[@AlsAllAussieAdventures]

Amazing video mate, well done.... Beretta, nothing really does compare!

[@AntonyLD]

Emotional to watch and hear the awe and passion in the voices of all involved.

[@joshuagibson2520]

Wow. This video was amazing. An absolute masterclass on how to unnecessarily complicate things 6x more than necessary.

[@seppa1019]

The way these guns are made reminds me of the watch factories in Switzerland. Great video!

[@yveslandry6985]

What a beautiful video of this marvellous gunmaker. It makes me appreciate even more my two Berettas o/u guns. Thank you so much Jonny for this incredible visit to Beretta Duet. The quality of your video is as close as the Beretta guns are. Thank you from Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada.

[@cjcantrell80]

Saving this video for times I’m bored. Always been a Beretta fan, now I have a higher appreciation. This video was absolutely well done.

[@14goldmedals]

I can never get enough of watching the engraving. Well done again lads.

[@abbgdr]

masterfully presented, thanks for giving us a peek behind the curtain,, keep up the good work

[@anthonydeveno2928]

When you hold a beretta you are holding 500 years of gun making tradition in your hands I kn I'll own one of those fancy guns but even getting to own a affordable gun of theirs will be a honor

[@jimo5146]

A fascinating and beautifully made film. As for the guns, I’ve never wanted to win the lottery more!

[@zatszats]

Sasha, you nailed it this time. This is a masterpiece. Johnny, you were good too...

[@tgsoutdoors]

Sash is life

[@zatszats]

@@tgsoutdoors Yes, but Johnny makes life have a purpose. This is the difference between short and dark and tall and blonde. (It's not racist, because I am short and dark)

[@johnnygomez3112]

Incredible video. What an experience.

[@kurtricketts1618]

I’ve had many beretta shotguns and you can feel the step up in quality from the 694 to a dt11 and this excellent video now shows why ! The carbon gun is very exquisite but certainly just a show piece and not to be bundled into the back of a car. Great video JC 👍👍👍👍

[@SavageShooters]

Great and informative video as always. Having toured a handful of U.S. firearm factories it never ceases to amaze me the stark difference between the American and European gun makers. Beretta has done a great job of successfully blending hand craftsmanship with modern production technologies - more so than any other company I've seen. Now if only I could find a winning lottery ticket so I could afford a SL3 or a Marc Newson 486.

[@philstone3859]

Beretta makes me smile.

[@spencerwendt4800]

better yet, post the raw footage of all the workers...WORKING and get a completely new audience!!! No endless commentators commenting about what we are not seeing to the right/left/above/betow...but it SOUNDS GREAT!! that's a plus too! forgot to mention.

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

I am IN LOVE with your channel! What a beautiful presentation!

[@instrutorserra5977]

excellent job!!!

[@JakeSchlade]

Bravo, Jonny! Many thanks to Beretta for allowing you the access to go inside their circle so that we can have a better understanding of Beretta's; what, how and why.

[@Henry30065]

Outstanding video, very interesting and brilliantly explained. Well done to you and Beretta! I have a pair of Beretta SO6 EELL’s (which I purchased after a tour of the Beretta Custom Shop) and I can vouch for their quality, exquisite looks and high quality build. Beretta’s long and impressive pedigree in building high quality guns is second to none! Alun

[@perrypappous7617]

Johnny, you certainly have “access”! I love and own Berettas. Great shotguns. Perry Pappous, SoCal, USA

[@tgsoutdoors]

Merry Christmas to you 🥂

[@johnsoncozier2152]

Thank you for this presentation so beautiful

[@chadnolte9134]

Absolutely amazing videography and editing. Top notch Jonny and Company. Even if I visited Beretta myself I don’t thing my memories would be as sharp as this video production. Amazing company, amazing guns and amazing history of guns. Thank you for sharing these behind the scenes images.

[@germanwalls]

Fantastic craftsmanship and dedication goes into the making of each Beretta high end shotgun, and will last generations. Great camera work and production. May I suggest using gloves when handling these shotguns. If my dad saw you touching the barrels with naked hands, he´d make you clean and oil them thoroughly, as he did when he caught me! fifty some years ago.

[@paulwilson7234]

Just watched this video again, these Beretta videos have really raised the bar in this genre.

[@ditzydoo4378]

Stunning, simply stunning. Wishing you the best of the season and hopes for more adventures in the years to come.

[@petemoralesadams]

Excellent 👊👌👌👌

[@kernowlad5174]

Great Production Johnny and TGS team, love these please keep them coming , i have a beretta sp687 mk3 2020 sporter and im looking to move up to a 694, Please keep up the great work thank you so much from down here in Cornwall

[@annrobinson4951]

Your a lucky man Johnny to go to Beretta. What an amazing video!! The most beautiful guns and engraving we've ever seen. Absolutely stunning!! We'll have two mallard side plates - spot on! Keep up the good work Johnny and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Malc and Ann Lincolnshire xx

[@Gussnell]

Fantastic episode! Thank you very much for making this!

[@John-uo1qf]

The key is a high degree of skilled craftsmanship. Machines can't compare. The oldest family owned business in the world.

[@brettlashbrook8527]

Fantastic video amazing factory. Looking forward to the next addition. All the best Brett

[@butchyboy69]

Great presentation of great guns. Thank you, Jon, and best of luck in '23.

[@JuniorProduction1000]

Well done Johnny and Sasha this was such an amazing video, you would not believe how excited I was to see the youtube notification for this video, I have been dreaming about that wild stock @12:00 ever since the glimpse of it in the previous beretta tour video, I'm currently tinkering about in my workshop making a stock similar to ergosign's stocks, but now I'm definitely going to try and recreate this masterpiece, you've just made my christmas Johnny and Sasha!

[@TheDanny5455]

Amazingly well put together video as always Jonny. Absolutely stunning guns and craftsmanship like no other.

[@hammyh1165]

Absolutely fascinating, can't wait to see the museum 🙂

[@beefcakeass]

Bravo 👏 lost for words to describe this short film I may only have a trap 690 but this film made me feel the guns through the images ❤

[@HyperXism]

Never had luck with Beretta. The only guns that jam on me are Berettas. This goes for pistols and semi auto shotguns.

[@DamiantenBohmer]

Truly an amazing look behind at artists in their craft 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@5_star_stays]

Yet another video where you smash it out of the park! I've been toying with the idea of a Beretta DT11 Black Edition and I might have just been swayed!

[@Mark-zb8fi]

I just gained a lot more appreciation for my A300!! Wow! IMPRESSIVE!!

[@TeensierPython]

I didn’t appreciate beretta (being from the army and not liking the M9) until I started buying their better stuff. You are correct. They are really nice.

[@Eryn-Lasgalen]

Just keeps getting better, every film. Without doubt the best shooting channel online. This series has been epic so far. Can’t wait for the history of Beretta. You guys have now left the competition in the dust. Thank you for the content. Hugely interesting, never patronising and humour added too. Keep on doing it, you’d be sadly missed if you stopped now!

[@tgsoutdoors]

🙏 thank you The history film is a little less grand than these first two but should still be a lot of fun

[@tudorwynphillips6458]

OMG , stunning. Many thanks. 👏

[@jeremysmock4828]

Excellent video, as always, Johnny and Sasha!

[@ViniciusConsorte]

Wish i had money to get one of those DT11 or SO, down here in Brazil one would cost over 40k USD, a 694 already goes for 14k USD. Very nice video, wonderful skills at the factory, congrats to BERETTA ppl.

[@tgsoutdoors]

That is some import tax!!

[@danp6755]

Bloody epic lads!! Makes me appreciate my dt11 even more- think it’s time for a custom stock to dial it in properly though. Keep doing what you’re doing boys- best shotgun channel on the ‘tube by far 👌

[@davidgcalderone]

Truly AMAZING

[@phoenixrising4073]

This factory is a thing of dreams. As a craftsman myself, attaining this level of skill and perfection is something that takes TRUE dedication. I hope to some day achieve this level of greatness in my own way; truly an inspiration. Saluti

[@gregbeck906]

This was amazing! Thank you. I knew Beretta was a great gun company but that was only from word of mouth and now after watching this compared to other companies tour videos and then it all makes sense. 😅

[@aviobrain]

Bloody Marvelous!

[@chrisgraham9203]

Another absolutely well done and informative video. I am fortunate to live close to Dallas, TX, and can go to the Beretta gallery any time I want and see many of these masterpiece shotguns.

[@jc128744]

Beautiful, thank you

[@AJSpinDrift]

Fantastic video, well done. Great camera work and a fascinating and visually stimulating insight into one of the greatest gun makers on earth. A long time Beretta fan, I've always wanted to visit the factory, narrowly missing out on a chance just before lockdown. I hope I get the chance again.. especially if it involves wood selection and a fitting!

[@LdHrothgar]

The engraving room coverage was SO short... you're killing me, that and the action fitting are the most interesting bits.

[@walterwinstanley8502]

This is a truly wonderful video Johnny and hats off to you for your excellent presentation. I have always been a Browning/Miroku fan, but this has made me want to look at a DT11 and if it is as good as it seems to be, to consider a custom fitting.

[@ulfborjesson4026]

The work you do is absolutely stunning these days. My hat off to you and to Sascha. Having worked as. photographer and picture editor for around 30 years I must say I absolutely love the tone and essence of your work. Thank you.

[@tgsoutdoors]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@pricedives]

Such a well produced video. Bravo!

[@thorout8377]

Absolute stunning 😍 I so want one...

[@AmjadKhan-fn5ys]

Much appreciated! Thankyou for your support

[@angelgomez7917]

Great film!

[@jonpettet7085]

Can't wait for your next video, it's nice to these beautiful guns being made and the skills involved,think the dearest shot gun I've ever held is 800 pounds !,you need a competition for us to try these gun's on a range of your choice john, be good?
