I went to my local Wal-mart to take a look at the $550 Beretta 390's I remember seeing there a while back. I tried the only 2 Wal-mart's around that carry guns and no Beretta. Did I miss the boat on ths incredible buy?

The only thing that has kept me from buying one is the gas piston. It is a pain to clean. Neglect it and you will regret it. I am used to a long recoil action gun that can, if need be, somewhat neglected and still be reliable.
The gas piston on the Beretta is an education in "do not neglect" or you will suffer.
My experience with the gas piston has been nothing like RetiredLawman's. These are the most reliable auto loading shotguns I have ever used. I have gone as much as ~750 rounds without cleaning on the A390, because I use it for clays, and there have been a couple of times that I just didn't have time between sessions.
