Normal
My sister has one with the 6" barrel and the carbine kit. Initially I thought it was a waste of money because it seemed gimmicky but after shooting in pistol and carbine form I was really impressed. Comfortable to shoot, accurate, lightweight and a great option for a "survival rifle". Unfortunately when we checked to see if it was in the "recall", it was, so it has to go back to Beretta to be fixed. I may have to get one myself.
