Bought a 680 new over 40 years ago, still got it, used for game and clays, faultless. We reckon over 100k shells, still tight in the action. The DT 10 I had was a bit special too, gone but not forgotten. Beretta, boringly brilliant.
The Gun Shop I am a upland hunter that has used a semi out my whole life. I want an over under that I can use to shoot trap as well as in the field. I am in the US. What style of gun would you recommend or that?
Recently bought 2 S/H Beretta's, both mid 1980's , very little use and in great condition. One is a 686 special o/u and the other is a 626E sbs and both 20 bore. Lovely guns and don't think I will be selling them anytime soon.Didn't realise the 686 was re-named the Silver Pigeon in the 1990's. Everyday is a school day.
Just got myself silver pigeon 1 for my second gun !! Had lanber and had it for 21 years and is just starting to loosen up a touch now when open but shut its tight as a drum !! So im getting the pigeon all fitted up to me and i am hoping it will be the last gun i have to buy !! I was considering going another cheaper branded gun but then decided no i want a beretta !!! I love the look of them as well !! Nice without being stupid !!! I love the look of a good older looking gun that just gets the job done without any fuss !! Anyhow thats my thoughts !!
1 to note, Your Views on the SV10 Perennia and prevail range as they were that step in evolution that lead to the 690 range. I’d call it beretta’s version of the lost link. 👍🏻
Very nice video very informative but it would be nice if u could also mention price range of different models and is there any contact details to get touch with you guys
Thanks for making these vids guys! Just starting out in the clay shooting world and this helped me massively to choose my first sporting! :-) Keep up the great work...
Same here... have the 690 Sporting, and it shoots absolutely lights out. And you guys are spot on about Beretta's choice of furniture... for a $2700 gun, it is pretty boring. But, it fits me like a glove and I love it. And Great videos, guys... You definitely have a much deeper shotgun "culture" than we do across the pond, and I love getting your opinions & hearing your views. Keep up the great work!
thank you very much for your new answer. I just starting shooting clays in Club and I want to buy my first shotgun and the Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 1 it's like me, bisades here in Mexico we don't have variety of guns.
Great presentation.....Like the green shirts! What brand are those? Look soft and comfy and ideal for outdoor sports but smart at the same time. Where can I get one?
Like just about everyone else, as you said, I have one, too. But when I go into the field, I reach for one of the SXS's. I'd probably make an exception for a 20 or 28 ga. O/U, but I don't own one. Otherwise they are just too bulky for my taste. The SXS just feels right...more appropriate. You didn't show one but Beretta does still make them, don't they?
I wouldn`t like to drag a 686 through a days walked up,but I have done so with a 687S 20 bore,with ease a pocket full of cartridges weighs nothing as well.
@@tgsoutdoors Is there really a difference between them. Embellishments aside the guns seem identical. From your other video you mentioned actually slightly preferring the handling on a 686 sporting vs a 692?
3k for a shotgun... a bit ridiculous I think. im new to this type of firearm. what are you getting with these that you don't get with a shotgun in the 800 dollar range?
Same thing with a £120.000 gun to a £90 gun. Or a rolex to a timex or a Rolls Royce to a Rover, it does exactly the same thing , it's a buckshot gun at the end of the day , it's about how small your dick is and how much you want to compensate it for at the end of the day,. 😊
@@stephenizzy1 when you take clay shooting seriously you'll see why those guns cost a lot. Same if you're hunting and you want a beautiful and quality gun that you can use for the rest of your life and pass on to who comes after you. This is no cheap walmart pump action shotgun. People that own luxury items, whether it's a watch, a gun, or anything else are happy with their purchase. The small dick thing is just an excuse for those that can't afford to spend the money they'd like on things, and it actually shows an obsession towards other mens' genitals which is quite curious ;)
Nice video guys. Thank you so much for it. I'd like to ask you regarding 692 and DT 11 barrel. Are they made from the same steel material or they are different? I know that boreings are different, but what about steel alloy (steel type) of the barrel?
What type of shotgun would you recommend for someone what is going to do a bit of all types of shooting from shooting a few rabbits pigeons and crows then the next day a few clay pigeons
Hi John That was fast , i understand that you might not have a dt11 in your shop but you have shocked the pants off me as i was saving up for the dt11 acs black edition i loved the look of it too. i was hell bent to get one and now your comments on the has made me think , why is nobody buying them ?? they use them on the Olympics , 8k is a lot for a bad gun ? i might get George Digweed gun ???? looking for top, trap , skeet , clay gun any ideas ???
I think you are looking along the right lines. Perazzi would be the perfect gun. For the money you could buy a stunning used gun or get a Custom gun made to your specifications. Worth doing, and you will never regret having the softness that comes with perazzi because the shootabilty is top notch, and made to your own personal balance, size and pattern makes for something truly special.
Guys looking for a new quail gun in 20 gauge and between the 686 and 690. I’ve heard the 690 has ejector issues, has this been resolved and should I lean to the 690 over the silver pigeon?
I've always liked the Beretta shotguns, but as a company I've been losing respect for them. It's my understanding that some of the Sako 85 rifles suffer from ejection problems, and Beretta has been refusing to make the situation right with their customers.
Filmed from a mile away, one cannot see the gun. And what the hell are you talking about? Vertical owned? Turbocharged? How are we supposed to follow what you are talking about when you wave the gun around, opening and closing them, and then laying them down?
Could have been more informative, but the audio sucks and both of you keep interrupting each other. For the love of God invest in a good lapel microphone and take turns talking.
686 with a blindfold and you can’t tell the difference against a $5,000 gun. But yup, dull probably because of their middle of the road perfection. Buy one and have a stock made to fit you and you’ll have a $5,000-$8,000 gun for $4,000 at most unless you go crazy with your wood.
I think you hit the really important point....FIT. My belief is that that vast majority of shooters don't even realize that their guns fit them poorly...sometimes very poorly. I see them contort themselves over stocks that are too short and too straight. Before they buy a new gun they should try shouldering something from early in the last century when even non-bespoke guns were provided with stocks that had more drop at heel and comb.
I have a really cheap shoulder and many shotguns fit me very to exceptionally well. Rifles however are a different matter. I prefer a double Monte Carlo in left hand action with a right hand comb so often as not a well fit rifle stock costs as much or more then the rifle. ☹️

I'm new to these shotguns and am fascinated with this channel. Great presentation and information!
Fantastic channel and a very helpful review of Beretta, thank you!
I use the 391 TEKNYS Gold 32” Vandalia 1 of 300 semiauto. Love it! The 692 Trap is next on the list.
Now featuring pluckium barrels with quack-o-ma chokes. Calls the ducks in and plucks the birds feathers for you!
Very nice video very informative but it would be nice if u could also mention price range of different models and is there any contact details to get touch with you guys
I have a few models of Beretta SGs but I love my S58s Trap the most and use it as much as possible.
Thanks for making these vids guys! Just starting out in the clay shooting world and this helped me massively to choose my first sporting! :-) Keep up the great work...
In Australia the 686 Silver Pigeon is the only Beretta gun which has a gold trigger. Not sure if this applies elsewhere.
Great videos as ever. I really wanted to go for the 692 black but could take the chance with that carbon rib. Time will tell. Opted for the 690...

@@alanward4506 Right. I use a J.P Sauer 20b SxS from 1928...light, quick and a joy to shoot.
Very good vid chaps.
Very informative video lads, thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure glyn
Regards
TGS
When you do all the gun videos could you please say the price of the guns
Same by the date I couldn’t hear your opinion about the SL 3 series...aka their copy of another Italian builder.
thank you for your answer.
I think use only the Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 1, not the Sporting, not the Trap and not the E.
It will be well?
Perhaps not for high level, but it will certainly hit every target, it just may not be the easiest to do it with
@@tgsoutdoors Is there really a difference between them. Embellishments aside the guns seem identical. From your other video you mentioned actually slightly preferring the handling on a 686 sporting vs a 692?
Im in love with this berettas
Do a video of the options for left eye dominant shooters ! What options do we have. These berettas are canted for right handers
There is beretta o/u for lefties too
Could you do more videos like this😂so interesting
Keep up the good videos recently!

How about Caesar Gurinis's line next guys? I love those guns.
Now live, hope you enjoyed it
which guns do you guys use personally? @@tgsoutdoors
BigOneSCO a fairly large selection!
could you make a video where you describe few models and why do you like them?
@@tgsoutdoors

As far as we are aware both have steelium barrels so should be the same
Can you please do a review on the Beretta Ultralight Gold (Unless I've just missed it on your posts).
I`ve got two a 687 EL and a SP1 De luxe,the wood on the SP is far better than the EL.
in Norway the silver pigeon 1 is half the price of the 690 field 3. Is the field 3 worth it?
First gun ive ever shot and what got me into shooting was the silver pigeon
Thanks for the great videos. What are your thoughts on Beretta’s 486 parallelo?
Lovely Guns!
Trying to track down the model and value of my 0u 12 gauge.
Bo4324
What type of shotgun would you recommend for someone what is going to do a bit of all types of shooting from shooting a few rabbits pigeons and crows then the next day a few clay pigeons
What’s your thoughts on the silver hawk?
so you mention the VW golf. Im after a Ford Ranger type of gun, elegant but will still go anywhere and do everything I ask of it!
Could you guys do a videos on a a391 urika please?
The Gun Shop is the ar391 much different to the normal a391?
Can you do one on a benelli montefeltro
What about the s56e
what do you think if I use a Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 for shooting clays?
It will do the job well. If you like it

There would be a good comparison video. The 690's are good guns but for a 20 bore i would be for the 686.
brx 1 ?

please mention price ...................
Luckily we didn’t, because they would be well out of date now.
@@tgsoutdoors great video tho
Ps I have a Beretta 92fs inox
super!
No model 409 side by side? 🙄
Young whipper snappers have no idea these days.
Please give ur opinios on baretta s55
Filmed from a mile away, one cannot see the gun. And what the hell are you talking about? Vertical owned? Turbocharged? How are we supposed to follow what you are talking about when you wave the gun around, opening and closing them, and then laying them down?
Can you guys please do a review of the new SL3
Can you lend me £18000 to buy one in
The Gun Shop - Touché
I will see if i can get close to one at some point, they are stunning!!
The Gun Shop that would be amazing. I'm very curious what frame they are built off of i.e 690, jubilee, S.O
Umair Khan a new action based on a reworked s3 from what I understand
Where are you based
They are near Southampton

Makes me cringe every time you slam those guns shut? ?????
