Brian-B690 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Hi everyone I’m thinking of buying a 694 but a shooting buddy of mine had a lesson with a very famous shooter, he was asked which is the better gun DT11 or 694 he said he would prefer the 694 but he also said that he has had at least 3 of his pupils guns 694 fail on them, so people have you had or heard of any problems with the 694 also repair times apparently GMK have been very slow to repair them over to you guys cheers in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I hope not as i bought a 694 last week. Have only put 60 carts through it so far. I would imagine the DT 11 is a better gun but at over twice the price of a 694 it ought to be. I handled a DT 11 but didn't like the feel of it. My 694 does feel nice so only time will tell.

Brian-B690 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Fingers crossed Samboy I hope everything is good on your gun because I really really want one I’ve even had the green light of her indoors to buy one, I’m just having a little panic over the reports of problems my current Beretta run’s like a Swiss watch so I expect the 694 to be the same it’s going to be a couple of months before I buy it so if you do have any problems please get back to me 👍cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcorbett Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I bought one about 18 months ago and apart from a minor ejector problem sort out quickly by GMK it has been lovely to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-B690 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi Jim I’m not really expecting any problems only for my friends instructor I wouldn’t even be questioning it I’ve not heard any bad reviews about the 694 from anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Nice! A step up from the 694 of course in money terms but a superior level of fit and finish. CG worked out how to entice Beretta owners to change years ago. I certainly won't be returning to Beretta and I doubt many other CG owners will.

I never got to try the 694 I’m sure it’s a great gun but the CG seduced me in 10 shots 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've just taken delivery of an Invictus 1 Allsport, tried the Ascent but couldn't get on with the raised rib. I've retained my DT10 just in case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
