Is there no way to snip the arms in half and jerryrig an extension, if you like them? Looks being secondary to performance and such... I went the Pilla route after a stint with a way cheaper alternative, but was lucky to have been offered some S/H lenses at Decathlon prices. Evens out the...

In that case, why choose? :cool:

How two of those are single-barrel is beyond me. Fair mix of Perazzi, DT's, and K-guns among the top shots I see, with some changing often enough to keep the trade in business :cool:

First of all: Congratulations on reviving a six year old thread! Second: If you want to test spread, use a pattern plate. There's a reason they exist, and they will do the job with lasting visuals that you can actually compare. A pond isn't the same thing. As you'll be shooting downwards to...

If memory serves, the DT11 has the longest forcing cones, with the 692 and 694 taking the middle spot, with 690 and 68X drawing the shortest stick.

Question to you and to @Jan Powell - If you have pulled the trigger, is there a way to mechanically avoid the shot going off before release, or would you just have to release the trigger and accept that the gun fires?

Very nice of you to write such a detailed review and report. Curious about the oiling steps you will have to do still, although I don't think you'll dodge VAT and import duties if it is shipped after the fact. If I am not mistaken any purchase made abroad (i.e. outside of your VAT zone) over a...

I've been told most of those ads are targeted based on the cookies various websites will leave on your device, so one wonders whether and how you have indicated a similar interest :) What would mystify me is the copper codex next to the 'object of interest'.

Have you tried Beretta's own e-store? They have it all and delivery is very quick in my experience (EU mainland though). They frequently set up a discount if you buy two or more.

Good looking gun and I like the idea of such a buttcap. Given the screws, I'd take it off to have a replacement made in the same color/material. No idea who to ask though.

Combining a day's shooting with working out your shoulders... and a proteine shake after shooting a slab :cool: I initially fancied a 725 PS but after shooting with one I considered it far too heavy for my liking. I now shoot a DT11 black that is a solid pound lighter. I think that I...

I'd say that (1) you really, really have to try before you buy. While a 725 PS would still be available if you end up wanting to change back, you will then have parted with a bunch of cash. (2) Other than scratching an itch, what issue do you think the CG would "cure" in terms of your shooting...

At sub-90 quid a go, for some brands such a purchase would be worth it for the multi-chokes alone :D

Now that would be a shooters' aid I'd pay for. No green light unless lead is perfect. Imagine the savings on cartridges! :D

I prefer the mid sized red fibre one on both my Beretta's (692 and DT11). Can't say I really notice the bead unless I consciously use it when comparing lead on repeated tries at a missed clay. I certainly don't find it obtrusive, but then I haven't tried much else on my own guns: had brief...
