Picked up a beretta 3901 the other day with the factory sticker still on it..price was right, couldnt pass it up since I was sort of casually in the market for a plastic waterfowl shotgun. Apparently the 3901 is a newer model with rounded receiver that is internally identical to the 390. The question I have may or may not apply to a 391 as well, Im not sure.

Question I have for anyone who owns or is familiar with this gun. The safety button on the gun protrudes from BOTH sides of the trigger guard, both when it is on safe and on fire. On my gun, when it is on SAFE there is still a decent amount of the red “safe indicator” showing. I noticed it, and my brother immediately noticed it as well. (Yes, I confirmed numerous times the gun is actually safed.)

I know this safety button is reverseable, but have not fiddled with it yet. Im wondering if this issue is because someone re-assembled the button incorrectly, or if thats just the way the safety looks. Anyone familiar and able to comment?

Hmmm…in that case might take a paint pen to it, cant say I like seeing that red when its on safe.
