I wasn't so much into guns then. And I wouldn't own a pistol for a dozen years. Young skull-fulla-mush in college.
Despite all this youth and inexperience, and what I picked up in the Corps via osmosis, I had Distinct Opinions on what gun I wanted if I was to choose a pistol for my very own.
I'd like to think in my abject ignorance I was still semi-rational. I'd have chosen a revolver. Because: simple. I knew I had zero training in automatics and there are just so many controls to keep track of in a high stress situation. These were my thoughts.
So I did not want a Beretta back when Die Hard came out. No offense, Beretta. It's not you, it's me.
