I've shot probably a half-dozen BHPs, and that many Beretta clones. Two of the Beretta-clones were actual Berettas, the other 4 were Taurus. All but one of the BHPs shot better than all of the Beretta/Taurus clones(smaller groups, no failures to feed). The one that didn't still shot better than MOST of them(it was a little loose, so accuracy suffered, but lead-pipe reliable). The Taurus clones shot better than the Berettas. ALL Taurus pistols shot MUCH tighter than the Berettas, and I recall two failures to feed with them. One of the Berettas was useless unless fed ball. The other one had to be returned to the shop when it quit on us. I never really got the full story on the final problem.
I'll take a BHP in rough condition over a new or nearly new Beretta in a shooting situation. The italians are VERY fortunate that they're better at making racing tires than they appear to be at making automatic pistols.
