Advise WTB Beretta Silver Pigeon

[abococo]

I want to purchase a 686 Silver Pigeon 1 Field Model wth less than 800 rounds through it. Some folks say it is good others say it jams. Please advise.

I'm not understanding how an over/under jams?

The Beretta 68x line is an excellent line of shotguns, very few issues if any.

If it's in good shape and the price is right for you, plus it FITS you, go ahead and buy it.

Me too, I've never had one of mine jam...

Count me in as number three.

I've had my russian over-unders and sxs (baikal) fail to extract/eject on cheap ammo, but never the beretta.

Nailed it!

With 800 shells fired, that gun has not even been broken in yet. IF, the gun in question is having issues extracting shells or ejecting spent shells, the ejectors can easily be removed & cleaned.

My SP1 failed to eject the bottom barrel from time to time. I finally removed the ejector and did some stoning to it to get it to work. It's 100% now and my favorite O/U. If it fits you and you are getting a good deal, buy it..

Jams? Are you shoving 20 gauge into a 12 gauge?

My SP1 failed to feed once. It wasn't that I forgot to put a shell in the tube.. Definitely the guns fault.

Kidding aside.. my SP1 has been a great gun and never had a problem with it. If you arent comfortable with the auto safety feature it can be disabled (or you could go sporting) but for me disengaging the safety as part of my mount quickly became second nature.

It is a fantastic shotgun, a guy I shoot often with let me borrow his because I was looking at buying one myself. Did 1 round of trap with it and scored 23, shoots like a dream.

This reminds me I need to go get my FSC and buy this shotgun.
