Thank you very much for this fantastic video about Perazzi High Tech. I am writing to you from Barcelona, Spain. Just a few days ago I bought a Perazzi High Tech in Armeria Mur (Mollet del Vallés, Spain) and now I have to travel to the Perazzi factory in Italy to have my measurements taken in order to have a stock head for me. Your video has confirmed that I have made the right decision. Thank you very much again.
and about time too, you have been singing the praises of Perazzi for a while , I have shot all makes of shotgun in my 40 plus years of shooting both clay and rough , though I cannot bring myself to own a Beretta , I now have 2 perazzi's , a M X 8 Protrap and a M X 2000 sporter . you will not be disappointed with your choice and keep us all posted on all the 'straights' you will be carding
Another great review Lloyd! The detachable trigger group is available with leaf or coil springs. I have the 31.5 inch High Tech classic with detachable trigger group, coils and barrel selector. Awesome choice on a new gun by the way!
Welcome to the P Gun Club! You did right! Been shooting one for 41 years! You can't go wrong. Oh and believe me I tried many others ... they were disappointment. And the reason why V springs are so much better is V spring picks up energy when it's released and that coil spring loses energy. That's why perazzi triggers are so great! Inertia triggers only way to go.
V springs can be prone to cracking as they have a single bend which is stressed on compression, coil springs are less prone to this due to their geometry e.g. a helix. I need to disagree however as springs store potential by the deformation of an elastic object, regardless of the form, the energy is released when you allow the object to return to it's normal state. It is not possible to generate or gain energy during the release.
@@kylemelcher894 you're right it's just a rumor. No truth to it. I've shot hundreds of thousands of rounds with v Springs never had one crack yet. But I've seen coil spring failures a bunch of times. Ask the best bespoke gunsmith you can find and they will tell you advantage V Springs every time.
So, I have spent some time thinking about this, then I did some research and I am sorry to say I can't find any source to verify or refute this. I even chatted with Bloke On The Range about this and we agree. Hooke's law F=kx and the derived formulae for calculating spring energy are clear and I cant see any verifiable data re spring rate based on spring form. The spring is acting on the hammer once released from it's deformed state, and the mass of the hammers remains constant. Even if the V spring generates more force I cant see this significantly impacting the acceleration of the hammer from it's resting state. That said as I say I cant find anywhere an actual analysis or proof of comparative lock times based on spring types in firearms. Tim, is your assertion based on actual testing? if so can we see the evidence?
Now that's going to be a challenge given we are in lockdown. I could get the Mrs to throw plates across the kitchen but they wouldn't be terribly challenging targets and the neighbours are sure to complain...
@@lloydyp You most certainly did in this video :-D Congrats! Will look forward to Your review and general impression of it, once You make the transition and get used to it.
Have been thinking on going to a Perazzi from my K-80 but there are so many models to choose from . a long time ago I had a comp1 and went to the K-80 , is there a list showing the different models and also price ranges?
Well if you would all like to club together and buy me one I'll be happy to review it. I asked zoli and Edgar bros for test guns 2 years ago. I'm still waiting.
Hi ! Just a slightly silly question. I only shoot and compete for two years. I dont have big exp but my results is not bad (85-90/100). I using Guerini Invictus Ascent with 81cm bore. I love this gun but I'm thinking about it i change. Perazzi high tech or K80. What you think? Worth it to switch? Can help in development when i buy expensive gun?
Honestly if you are hitting 90% with an Invictus, changing will not make you hit any more. You can't buy points. If you want a K or P gun get one, but be aware that no gun is a magic wand to suddenly turn you into George Digweed.
@@lloydyp no problem I'll have a look at the other reviews just I have the opportunity to buy a mx8 that hasn't fired a slab of cartridges it's spent most of it's time in a locker
@@borjastick I've tried out a couple different ones at my club and I gave them back to the owners. The owners have since gotten rid of them. In my region Ontario they've been out for a long time. I try a lot of guns and many people at my club ask for my advice because of over 40 years experience. I've literally shot dozens of different shotguns.

This must truly be a case of infatuation over logic! You're moving from a Krieghoff (Parcours? K-80 Sporting?) to a Perazzi High Tech which does not have three features commonly found on high-end sporting guns: an adjustable comb, barrel selector, and removable choke tubes. If I found myself in the market for a higher-end shotgun, the lack of those three features would stop me at Perazzi's door. I'm not arguing, Lloyd, because I have two friends who share a similar passion for Perazzi. I'm somewhat mystified, all I can say in closing is that the fit must be wonderful.
Chris Ohland He ordered the S model. It comes with a selectable trigger. He went to the factory and had it fitted, no need for an adjustable stock. He ordered the barrel wo choke tubes , personal preference. I own a MX 2000 with all the features you spoke of. Bespoke gun.
What Mike said, it does have a barrel selector, it doesn't need to be adjustable if it's custom built to my spec, and I never change my chokes, so why do I need a multichoke?
I was just responding to your question :) didnt intend to sound combative. I am not a "twiddler", once a gun works for me I leave it alone, including chokes. I've had the same chokes in my K gun for 2 years straight, apart from taking them out to clean them. I shoot Skeet, Sporting, 5 stand, DTL, ABT ("Wobble trap" for americans I think?) with the same gun, cartridge and choke.
I haven't looked it up but clearly these are not inexpensive guns and yet the forend wood sits proud of the receiver as does the stock. That just looks sloppy to me. Monoblock construction...cost cutting? Welds in a critical area? Pass.
@@wholeNwon very difficult to form a precise opinion without using the item you were criticizing. In other words don't knock it till you try it. Regardless of final result. Within your mind.
@@timeverett7828 My eyes. I can SEE that the wood fit is less than I expect for MY money. At a relatively high price, I would prefer to avoid monoblock construction. Buy what YOU like and I'll do the same.

Looking forward to the Perazzi video allready. 👍

Congrats! Really interested to follow along as you get your new Perazzi

@@lloydyp. I hadn’t actually. Doesn’t seem like the notifications were coming through but I’ve watched them now. Stunning gun. Well done

Don’t they wear a little faster than coil springs though? I’ve found that rumor in many places online

Faster lock times...Advantage V Springs.

Thanks for the review Lloyd. Lets see a video of you shooting your HT mate
Now that's going to be a challenge given we are in lockdown. I could get the Mrs to throw plates across the kitchen but they wouldn't be terribly challenging targets and the neighbours are sure to complain...
Right decision I think, you clearly loved them from day one!
:)
Sad to hear that you abandon Krieghoff, but I am sure you will be happy with a Perazzi both are absolute wonderful guns thou...
Thanks David.
I knew it! I could see that cheeky look on your face! :-D
lol my wife says I have a cheeky face :)
@@lloydyp You most certainly did in this video :-D Congrats! Will look forward to Your review and general impression of it, once You make the transition and get used to it.
Krieghoff German super engineer Gun and Perazzi is one off the best guns on the market.
Don't forget Beretta and Benelli good guns to .
I've owned all of them, unlikely to forget :)
Nice Review Lloyd, any progress on a Zoli Z sporting clay's review ?
Nowt yet, not heard a sausage from Edgar Brothers.
Love everything about it...apart form the name a gun that good should not be called Hi-Tech
I know what you mean.
Nice video, 👍
TY
Have been thinking on going to a Perazzi from my K-80 but there are so many models to choose from . a long time ago I had a comp1 and went to the K-80 , is there a list showing the different models and also price ranges?
Yes, on the perazzi website.
hi Lloyd . . . agree with Longhunter. Many are eager to see a review from you on the Zoli Z-Sport, and how it might compare to Perazzi HT. Thank you.
Well if you would all like to club together and buy me one I'll be happy to review it. I asked zoli and Edgar bros for test guns 2 years ago. I'm still waiting.
Love your video's Lloyd...I'm an Aussie and looking to buy my first Trap Gun...can you get your hands on a Miroku MK10 to review cheers.
MK10 isn't sold in the UK I'm afraid.
That’s killer 🔥What made you go 30” instead of 32” ?
I didn't, the gun I have ordered is a 32"

What about the beretta DT11 black in your before entry.... no review yet?
For the second time Mitch, it's here: ua-cam.com/video/L_Errt4FGk0/v-deo.html
Have you ordered the standard or S?
S :)
What is the difference in the high tech vs say an mx2000?
ua-cam.com/play/PLaCk7LkHdXm3kHwLh3xXOXXX7uVVfCAOH.html
I've discussed this in other videos.
Hi lloyd I'm just wondering is there much of a difference between the hi tech and the older model mx8
Yes, the guns handle very differently. I discuss the differences at length in several of my videos.
@@lloydyp no problem I'll have a look at the other reviews just I have the opportunity to buy a mx8 that hasn't fired a slab of cartridges it's spent most of it's time in a locker
@@derekwolohan4644 in short the MX8 handles faster, it's assuming it's a sporter.
@@lloydyp no it's a trap fixed 3/4 and full with 31" barrels
And will you be using it for trap? I have specifically reviewed the MX8 Pro trap.
Can you review the new Benelli 828U Sporter please Lloyd?
Sure, I just need to get GMK to send me one ;)
Not worth your time to review that one.
@@timeverett7828 How do you know, I've not seen a British review of it yet.

Merci pour votre produit de marque de fabrique de chasse.
Nice one,you will go for multi chokes or fixed ones( wick chokes?)
Thank you!
Fixed.
What chokes?
Thank you !
3/8ths and 5/8ths
Thank you very much !for your answers, most appreciate !
Mate do you own all these shotguns? What a great f....g life.
Well, I haven't had a Perazzi yet, should have it by Christmas.
What is cost of pirazzi high-tech 12ga
Watch the video.

Price of gun?
Off the shelf in the UK £10500 or thereabouts.
Lovely looking gun that is ruined by the "PERAZZI HIGH TECH" all over it.
Doesnt bother me.

Nice guns but I hate the forend the way it slopes back yukkkkkk looks awfull .
We'll have to agree to disagree there since mine has that same fore end.
I don't know why but I can't see past how horrible that top lever looks in the thumbnail.
Great video as always nonetheless mate
I like the 2 tone finish.
