Beretta Silver Pigeon 1

[Varminator]

G'day fella's,

I've been toying with the idea of buying a Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 for a while now, so thought I'd see if anyone owns one and if so what are the good and bad points of them.

Thanks V

Only bad point is the price tag. I can't fault mine. I have the sporting version.

Yeah not cheap - but hopefully worth the $$$ Going shopping Wednesday to have a look and if its what I'm after I will buy it.

You wont regret it. My only gripe, is that I keep shooting it so much that I've worn the gold plating off the trigger in under a year!

My brother was using a few different guns over the last few rounds of Sim Field at the FGA, ended up hot gunning with mine last round. Went and bought himself the same gun last week. Not sure his Mrs is real pleased with me at this point in time!!!!

Previous to using mine he was set on buying a Miroku Mk70, a good gun, but the Beretta is slimmer in the midsection and points a bit better when coming from a rifle background.

Thanks for that mate, I think ya have to go to Melbourne for that service - I've used a friends Silver Pigeon a while back and shot real well with it, hence the decision to go that way (seemed to fit me well) it's all standard with no mods etc so hopefully buying the same will work?

The Beretta 686 SP is an excellent firearm and could easily last a life time. I strongly encourage people to go do the free fitting, it is a great experience and the guys down there really know what they are talking about.

The Silver Pigeon is a great gun. Have some fun with it.
