What is the round thin that comes with the Beretta pistols as pictured here?

    For Beretta I have no clue what it is or for but if the weapon where a Taurus it would be for the broken parts after the darn thing blew up!

    It is a eye cover for your eyeball. Beretta knows people that buy their pistols, can't shoot very good.

    So, they include a training tool to help customers shoot better.

    They may use that size case for more than one size pistol and that round container looking thing may just be a spacer to keep things from moving around and getting damaged.

    That's just a guess..[:o)]

    It may help if you took the "round thin" in question OUT OF the box,so we could actually SEE what you are talking about...
    Their looks to be a few "round thin" in there...[^]
    My guess is, a cheerios bowl..[8D]

    I think it's just a spacer to hold the handgun in place.

    They probably charge an extra 10.00 for the fancy spacer that does nothing.

    It's for creating a unique wax seal on correspondence with the company.

    If you have a question, you must write your question in fountain pen, on onion paper, and place it in a water marked envelope, which is wax sealed with that stamp. Then you must bury the envelope in an hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar under your aunts porch. Then you tune in to late night TV, where a comedian with many ex-wives will answer your question.

    Great. Should I wear a tinfoil helmet or will a tin foil skull cap suffice?

    Just because the cowpoke uses his spurs to stimulate the horse he is on to move faster doesn't mean that the collective population of horses have been insulted.

    which would be a valid analogy if this forum was bought and paid for by you and here for your service as a horse would be.

    seeing how you dont own us, or this board, using your spurs to urge us along so you can get you very NOT time sensitive answer immediately is insulting.

    write a post demanding an immediate answer to how much aspirin you should take if you're having chest pain and trying to get the discussion moving along is perfectly acceptable.

    According to the guys on Beretta Forum it is a spacer used in their pistol boxes.

    Not only for various size pistols in similar boxes but also to keep the boxes from crushing in on the pistols during transport/shipping of large numbers of them.

    This question came up last summer.

    A spacer huh; I was sure it was a RoundToit.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    Actually, it is a spacer of sorts. It is put in there to keep the boxes from being crushed, just like the little "table" looking thing that comes in most large pizza boxes.

    Well, when we have the right answer, it may not be thinking alike.....actually, i had asked a Beretta rep at it at the shot show a few years ago, and that is what she told me. Don't know how true it was, but that is what i was told.

    that what Obama had to do with his birth certificate and republicans had to do with their amendments to the health care bill [:o)]
    looks like a spacer to me or maybe a place to keep a trigger lock, ear protectors, the money you saved from buying at geico?

    Looks like it'd be a good cup to put small parts when completely taking apart the gun (springs and crap).

    It's a question generator.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
