From the Archive: Beretta vs. Beretta

The piece from the Car and Driver archives is a classic comparison test that pits two Beretta handgun models against each other. The author, Bruce McCall, takes the firearms and puts them through a series of tests more commonly associated with automobiles, such as acceleration, braking, handling, and a "road course" evaluation. The article is a wildly entertaining read, with the author's dry, sardonic wit shining through. Beyond the entertainment value, the piece is a commentary on the ways we evaluate and compare vastly different types of products. It explores how the metrics and methods used for cars translate, or fail to translate, to firearms, revealing biases and assumptions. The article prompts the reader to consider the intriguing nature of this approach, leaving one to ponder whether it strikes a chord or appears as an odd curiosity. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a70723484/from-the-archive-beretta-vs-beretta/
