toby63 1,236 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ive a Beretta 391, ive had it for donkeys years and its been utterly reliable. Ive put 21g upto 32g through it without any problems at all. Used it out in the fields and at one point I was putting at least 500 cartridges through it every weekend on the clays. I clean its internals twice a year - nice & easy to do, and ive only ever had 2 "jams" when it didnt cycle the 2nd cartridge correctly and they were on cheapo 28g clay cartridges. 2 jams out of thousands cant be bad. Price wise, looking at what they sell for 2nd hand now, it looks like ive lost next to nothing in depreciation on it either - as I bought mine 2nd hand originally too. you only clean it twice a year ha.mine gets stripped weekly specialy if its rained hard while am out.

The only thing i notice when i strip it down is that the gas tophat piston thing gets coked up. Once ive cleaned it all out, it ends up ejecting spend cartridges for miles! Quote Link to post
