Maybe the most valuable guns are the friends we made along the way I fucking lied give me that gold 93R

[@darprdun8968]

Nah imma take my PX4

[@austin92789]

The history and craftsmanship in that room is just mind boggling.

[@bw1819]

I say a Beretta 92 raffica must be saved

[@bwerto2423]

So, it’s not a 1911. It’s an 1190.

[@kyleleah4830]

Did he really claim that barreta was the first one to make a semi auto pistol in 1915? 🤔

[@CSM_Gray]

I caught that too sounds like he thinks Italy is all that exists lol.

[@StagFabulous]

It's always impressive how dignified and personable all the Beretta personnel are in these videos. And I'm proud of James for all his restraint in interacting with them.

[@JLEEAIRBORNE14]

Holy crap. If the Beretta Museum caught on fire, the first thing you should be saving is Jarno. That kind of knowledge is priceless. Awesome video!

[@joestutzman4519]

Holy moly, that guy is an encyclopedia!!!

[@MDpolo]

@TFB TV I recently discovered that I own one of the very first 92 Beretta’s ever made. It was confirmed by Beretta USA. It’s been in my family since the early 1970s and does not have any markings whatsoever anywhere besides the name Beretta 9 mm. I just posted a video on it a couple days ago. I would love for Yarno to take a look at it. Thank you very much for the video what a gorgeous firearms.

[@onpsxmember]

Ah you already saw it.^^

[@timwilson7326]

Keep it!

[@Rahatlakhoom]

Thanking James for making that trip to Beretta. More history to this company than I imagined. Incredible! I have a new respect for their craft.

[@natekatchuk3858]

I mean it claims that it's the oldest company in the world

[@KainzMusic]

@@natekatchuk3858 They began in 1526 manufacturing barrels for the arquebus (a type of flintlock style long gun)

[@king_kiff3969]

you can tell this mans love for what he does, he completely forgets the camera and turns in awe to face his collection as he describes it lovingly.

[@Assdafflabaff]

Honk Honk, Brother.

[@perpetualdimwit]

This "gun librarian" is absolutely wonderful, so polite, so well informed, so interesting. He kept turning between the cameraman/camera and James. Very very polite.

[@LastResortGameNews]

These designs from the 1500's were not just cooked up overnight, years of development and test/trials to produce those wheelocks by hand tooling with paper drawings and raw materials gathered and refined in-house using only natural light sources . What an incredible feat.

[@sladeb6036]

Yes absolutely

[@Crangaso]

What other company in the world, let alone firearms engineering & manufacturing company can say Leonardo DaVinci was in the shop !?! Bravo Bra-F'n-vo

[@Stainless1911]

I love Italy... beautiful landscapes, cities, guns, cars, motorcycles and girls. Greetings form Germany.

[@TRu44-560]

Food, you forgot the food!!

[@Nydusurmainus]

"everything I know about forging I learned about lord of the rings", Jarno detects no joke

[@DarkysLPs]

As a guy in his 30s who shot multiple guns, when I get the chance to shoot a Beretta I always go for it. Never had any of their models jam on me, granted I only shot a few but it was always a good time.

[@hey1010101010929384]

^ poor maintenance and cheap aftermarket magazines. They caught a lawsuit for this

[@raidwolf4088]

Beretta needs to make officially licensed versions of the Resident Evil samurai edges.

[@andrewpinheiro7202]

Yarno is the man I really appreciate his passion for everything Beretta and him sharing his knowledge with us

[@Vox-Populi]

I encourage everyone in America to visit the NRA Museum in Virginia. Among other things, they have the original US Army trials Colt 1911.

[@VincitOmniaVeritas7]

Pfft… Show me the original 92F used in Diehard and Lethal Weapon and then we’ll talk…

[@OhioCruffler]

Wasn't it a 92SB?

[@starwarsroo2448]

Same gun wasn't it they used in Die Hard and Lethal Wepaon as Joel Silver made both and had the same Armourer

[@VincitOmniaVeritas7]

@@OhioCruffler it was a 92F, I misspelled it.

[@VincitOmniaVeritas7]

@@starwarsroo2448 ah, a fellow man of culture. According with IMFDB, yes, it was the exact same gun.

[@LaughingMan44]

Businesses like this that are family businesses are becoming more and more rare. They have a soul, and the history of Europe resonates through them. It's sad to see such companies disappearing or selling their souls.

[@Vox-Populi]

I scored a mint 1960 Beretta Silver Snipe 12GA O/U a few years ago for $500 from a local hardware store. It's so beautiful and cool.

[@joshmajor8662]

Awesome collection!!! It’s a shame you can’t understand a god damn thing he’s saying!!! 😢

[@michaeledwards8051]

YOU can't understand him. I understood him fine.

[@gracedagostino5231]

You just have to put in a little effort and listen carefully. Most people on these comments can understand him fine, but like I said, you have to listen carefully. Give him credit for speaking in English, as it's not his native language.

[@stephen_crumley]

One of my buddies has a 1977 Beretta Step Slide in 99% condition. It’s incredible

[@nicholasyacoub795]

I want to see this guy talk about all the Taurus and Girsan clones 😂

[@PrayingPanda]

And yet they refuse to make Revy's cutlasses!!!

[@johnsanko4136]

I'd be grabbing the golden Gaddafi 93r, but that's just me. The fact that the diamond 92 isn't just bedazzled and can fire without losing the rocks is insane.

[@mrbungle1]

Incredible history lesson.

[@wheelguns4wheelmen802]

Surprised Gaddafi's 93R didn't make the Top 5, as it has the historical value lacking in the two 92s Jarno chose. I'd especially choose that over the diamond 92. Also, the M38A would've been a solid pick.

[@chenderson7732]

What an incredible collection!! You can tell that he enjoyed giving us the tour and history of the guns as much as we did! Thank you for the awesome video👍🏻👍🏻

[@fn6266]

Serial numbers 1 and 2 of the M9 prototypes weren’t destroyed. They were reclaimed by Earth and now live on in every M9.

[@beefestrogen5276]

Ngl that diamond gripped Beretta 92 looks like ass. Diamonds on firearms are tacky as hell, let alone make it pretty much impossible to shoot without the slide yeeting thousands of dollars eventually.

[@TheBudgetGunCollector]

The most valuable beretta is the PT92

[@kaceesavage]

So cool. Crazy how old the company is.

[@Shimazusama]

The Euro trips have been some of the best stuff TFBtv has put out. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronmatson5502]

In my mind the gold plated guidafi gun is tops,THATS history right there baby.

[@Mrgunsngear]

🍺

[@zarkovecerkovic4825]

The most valuable Beretta 92 is the one used by Martin Riggs. Sold more 92s than the US Military ever purchased. 😆 🤣

[@michaelinsc9724]

Dudes has encyclopedic knowledge of Beretta! Awesome video. Thanks for making this.

[@Crangaso]

Ciao Bello

[@Landoftheignorant]

You know James was so bored trying to be a polite perfect gentlemen whilst looking at the flintlocks. You can see the energy shift when he gets to the 92 case haha

[@joewalker6931]

Every time I see a new TFB TV pop…. I get excited for the new CZ Pistol reveal….. not yet. Ugh!!!!’

[@Graves-81_69]

The 92 model started my passion for firearms back in the 80s that’s carried on to this day and is reflected in my collection. I would be in heaven at this facility

[@Everythingallthetime666]

I wonder, if this the head of historical department ever has a fight with the head of the research and development department, who would win? That's where my mind is going.

[@mannymoreno3328]

Wow I can’t believe these collection pieces are still around 500yrs later

[@romans6two338]

Listening and seeing the history of Beretta was incredible. Thank you gentlemen.

[@fabiolo2814]

Autentica eccellenza italiana 💖 🇮🇹

[@jimp7010]

Fascinating. By far, the greatest gun company ever.

[@rangersmith4652]

Thanks for the tour. I own a Beretta-labeled 3032 Tomcat and a Beretta-made Browning BDA. Both are among my personal favorites, beautiful pieces.

[@dak4465]

Where gaddafis gold beretta at????

[@FutureMaxx]

Does anyone know about parts interchangeability between the M9 series? ie. barrels, triggers, slides between M9/M9A1/M9A4 etc.?

[@SubsonicDreams]

Full size 92fs parts will work in all you listed there. Some newer parts are tweaked externally like tilted safety, extended release etc. But interchangeable. Yeah I dropped in a threaded barrel in my a1 and I could add any of those slides or a brigadier slide if I got tired of my old style one. And there's trigger stuff galore out there to choose from lol.

[@biggysground]

I was hoping James asked about the machine guns they make.

[@PetrosArgy]

Thank you again for representing us well and bringing back awesome content!

[@JayB-bq7hh]

I had a 92FS Centurion Italian model and loved it , but had to sell................ fit and finish was off the chain , USA models are not as good , sorry to say !! An awesome collection indeed !!!

[@geraldholt2755]

Interesting video, but can I suggest subtitles in the future? The gentleman's accent is so thick I had to rewind multiple times and Google's CC sucks. Thank you to the TFBTV and Beretta for the history!

[@crabblike]

I always appreciate the content that centers around my favorite firearm manufacturer and family-owned business. The Beretta legacy is one to be very proud of. Thanks James.

[@Tcgunner]

I like how James asked 3 times, has anyone fixed this gun!? Yarno says “it can be fired, absolutely it’s a real gun” 😅😅

[@Adrenachrome_Gumdrops]

Awesome 👏🏽

[@ronhicks8271]

Anyone else miss the old days? Like when James wasn’t a shill for certain companies? That being said I love my a300 patrol…

[@03Grunt-arrino]

So amazing to see. Have to add, again, how hilarious my paesono’s sound in English. So much incredible history in those cases!

[@vincentj3093]

WoW ! Just Amazing. Definitely the best video I’ve ever seen on firearms.

[@corey8420]

My most valuable one is the one my grandmother paid for when I became a cop in 1996. 96F

[@nonyabiz9487]

The thing I love the most about Italian firearms is not only the quality and timeless classics but also the beauty they put into them. I cant say I ever came across an Italian firearm that was ugly. Even the sub machine guns which are notorious for being utilitarian ugly are absolutely beautiful. I always thought the Beretta M-12 was the nicest looking sub machine gun ever made.

[@jakelarsen17]

Fantastic video. Gotta love Napoleon rocking the SBR before it was cool.

[@Crangaso]

Love the pimped out Diamond 🔫

[@axgreenious9400]

This is the best gun channel on KZbin. Mr. Reeves is an excellent host.

[@ohmylantajawnt]

How'd I not know that Beretta made the heater that took out uncle Mario? Pazzi, you scum 😢😢😢

[@Frank-pc2rs]

Around since Da Vinci. Absolutely awesome! 🇮🇹

[@jeffeey3117]

Beretta is a great shooting gun much better than glock or sig p320 the problem with beretta is not very corrosion proof. Yeah I know kee it oiled but they rust.

[@ltphoenix54c]

I personally just love hearing this guy speak 😂

[@Scruffyman81]

Three months later, that Lord of the Rings joke still falls flat. Great video! Big fan!

Wow, being so far on the cutting edge that Leonardo DiVinci shows up because he is interested in your work..

[@007bondson1]

Amazing. Pls do more beretta and I’ll buy the shortest shorts I can find

[@youngmacz9699]

Amazing video.

[@joe125ful]

22:21 Coolest Beretta ever!! Seriously put there soo many diamonds and it still looks great!

[@glockparaastra]

A 92 for $326K. Hopefully, I get 3 mags with it!

[@sladeb6036]

Having guns that are older than America seems pretty American to me.

[@clintjanes3784]

As much as i love this info, and this interview; this man has the most Italian hand movements I've ever seen.

[@gutblaster187]

When one watches videos like this, it becomes hard to sustain the attitude that guns are only tools.

[@randlecarr3257]

He never mentioned the boxy yeet jingler from Glock…

[@keithbrown9198]

You can actually see James drool a little at #5... LOLLL

[@2006Mercury]

Still not interested in Beretta unless it's a raffica frankly

[@alvolante4164]

Great idea to do the museum in small videos. Tired of so many loooooooong videos

Jarno speaks and looks like Antonio Banderas.

[@icejjfish2191]

YOOOOOO THATS THE HOUSE JAMES BOND SHOT MR WHITE IN

[@grosenj]

If you turn the subtitles on when Jarno speaks, the subtitles struggles for a while, then they just state "(musica)" and go dead.

[@grosenj]

When he talks about "reliability", the subtitles translates the word to "devil ability".

[@dustinmatthews387]

Gee...and I thought my wilson combat beretta centurion tactical was pretty 'shot caller big baller'! (Yes, I'm aware of Langdon tactical berettas as well as their fusion 92s.) Since decked out glocks claimed gucci, does that mean a fancy beretta should be...Balmain? "I see you got a gucci glock...well I gotta Balmain Beretta, beeotch!"🤣
