Gardone Val Trompia, March 4th, 2022 - Beretta is pleased to announce that it has found and adopted the solution that definitively protects it from any improper use of BRX1. Since the beginning of December, the engineers, technicians and all the workers of the Gardonese company have been involved full time on the case. The effort also involved all supplier partners.
We proceeded as follows:
- Deep analysis of the case that led to the problem. Faithful reproductions of the improper use caused by the user with respect to what is indicated in the use and maintenance manual have been implemented
- Once the problem was "certified", the research phase began for the most effective solution that would not impact on a firearm that Beretta believes, since it was placed on the market, as safe as it is reliable.
- Beretta has focused on the trigger and the cylinder-bolt assembly. The striker-rod has been avoided to rest on the drawer in case of assembly different from the guidelines already reported in the use and maintenance manual. With the update, the firing pin can no longer protrude from the head and trigger the shot with the bolt not perfectly closed
- For the update, Beretta benefited from synergistic work with its suppliers who, to ensure fast times, did not hesitate to remain in production also during the Christmas period.
- The components have been tested with a meticulous test campaign: only at the end of this verification did we proceed with the production of the materials for the update which they have been, are and will be equipped with. BRX1 air rifles
- To date, more than half of the rifles sold have been updated in Europe and the rest of the world. This procedure will end shortly; as well as the specific training of all local distributors / centers. In Italy the update process has already been completed
- Beretta thanks its loyal customers for their patience and the armories for their valuable and effective collaboration. For exact timing and other requests, local dealers remain the reference
- Beretta reminds those who have not yet carried out the update procedure how much this novelty is a very important plus for safety.
