Beretta Gallatin Firearms?

[DaveTN]

I haven’t seen much about what Beretta is doing at Gallatin lately. What Beretta firearms are available that are made in, and marked, Gallatin?

The parking lot's always full of cars, but whatever goes on behind the gate seems to be kept on the down low.

I have one of their Tomcat 3032 acp Inox, have several loads to do testing with, just haven't taken time to test them. Rural King has 17 different Beretta models  but not the Tomcat, don't know what models are produced at Gallatin besides the Tomcat.

I haven't heard which models Beretta is making in Gallatin however they made 1000 92G Brigadier Volunteer State pistols.

I have heard they're having a hard time keeping people. Maybe the pay isn't what it should be. I don't know.

Hard to say. I went to a CMM class in Nashville with a lady from their plant in Maryland. She said it was a great place to work. But she was worried because there was talk of moving her job to Tennessee, and she wouldn’t be able to move because of her husbands job. I was getting a lot of calls from Head Hunters when they were hiring, but I didn’t pursue them because I didn’t want to drive to Gallatin and couldn’t move; so I have no idea how their pay was. I just figured for a company (private or otherwise) to be in business for over 500 years and be near the top of the heap; they have to be doing something right.

Well, when I was with Tammy Wynette, it paid $275/wk, so....

What's a "stare" pistol?

You know, it's one of them that the person you're aiming it at, stares into the end of the barrel before it goes bang...

Yes, but it doesn't prevent people from making fun at mine either.

Beretta USA has 15 job openings today, 10  of those are in Gallatin, including some fairly important seemingly responsible positions in engineering and QC.  That’s either a good thing if business is growing or a bad thing if they are having a problem keeping people.

So, after talking with a former employee that was a Marine... pay is $11/hr. You have the "possibility" of ramping up to $15, but no one seems to get there. He left after a month.

My guess is that like any machining facility, if you aren’t skilled trade you have a chance to get in there and become a Machinist or a CNC operator. Then if they won’t pay you someone will. It’s tough to even find people that will come to work everyday.

I’m sure they are hiring from the TN VocTech centers like everyone else, and will pay more for someone with some real experience.
