ride4fun Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Looks quite smart i think. saves the problem of trying to pick up spent shells from all over the place, they just land by your feet. and obviously it looks a lot safer because you can open it. only problem i can see is it has a lot of moving parts and probly just more to go wrong. anyone got one? fired one? what you think?? ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 been out since 2009 - don't think it really took off with anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride4fun Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 just goes to show how unpopular it really is then, i only saw it at the newark show for the first time. oh well still, anyone had an experience with one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 one of the guys at the club i shoot at has one, have had a swing about with it and it feels very nice. action seemed very wide on it and the opening lever is a bit of a monstrocity on the side...........in my opinion. wouldn't buy one myself.

Cosd Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I actually don't see the point in it! A single barrel gun that only takes two shells and needs to be broken to load....... Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 chap at clay ground had one at Xmas,looks quite smart but shooting it is v.strange as it feels like lots of bits move,which they do as it is part of the recoil system.The cartridge on outside just looks in the way though,with bits likely to catch on clothing etc. Does it shoot straight..yes quite pointable...is it nice to shoot...No!Would I buy one...never.Its a fudge as it is a 2 shot trying to impart the low recoil of a semi but without the benefits of a semi ie..3 shots. Engineering wise quite clever,overall though flawed IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I have fired it, thought it was rubbish and a gimmick. Obviously quite well engineered, just why? why? why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I actually don't see the point in it! A single barrel gun that only takes two shells and needs to be broken to load....... Why? it was more of an olympic shotgun, trying to be techno away from the perazzi and k80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhawk Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 If i wanted a gun that would fire 2rounds i would buy an over&under . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 I actually don't see the point in it! A single barrel gun that only takes two shells and needs to be broken to load....... Why? The whole gun is meant to fill a niche that is for people who want to shoot single barrels at clay ranges where they want you to show your gun is broken and therefore safe. Turns out that the niche wasn't as big as beretta had hoped. Technically, I think the gun's got some pretty neat mechanics behind it anyway.

fieldingsteve Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Had one to demo at my local Clay ground. Even the guys in the shop agreed it was an expensive Gimik. Your cash, spend it how you will, but you won't find one in my cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I am a massive Beretta fan, and own 2 Berettas. I have owned loads more. I was mega excited at the prospect of a ground breaking new design of semi auto. Like others have mentioned when it came out my only question was - ***...? Great idea wonderful engineering and a pleasure to shoot, but a break barrel 2 shot semi...? IMO it was done 'because it could be' - bit like the Bugatti Veyron. I am a massive fan of Beretta semis and I wouldnt waste a minute thinking about buying one, there is no point to it in the real world.

RC45 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I actually don't see the point in it! A single barrel gun that only takes two shells and needs to be broken to load....... Why? Because some clubs and shoots like to see the barrels broken if the gun is not sleeved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 If one turned up on the rack at my local RFD I would give it a spin - I have personally always shot well/better with Semi autos - would be OK on my syndicates shoots (might get some good natured stick though!)

shaun4860 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I would like a shot of one but only chance i have had to actually pick one up, the first thing i noticed was the weight of the thing... you certainly couldnt carry it round all day.... heaviest gun ive ever picked up, although it was the trap version. shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
