I agree with these gentlemen. I have never used one but I do have two 686s and they funtion very well as trap guns. (One has a set of O/U barrels) They really get extended use. I have a buddy who collected them (Beretta SXSs) over the years and he loves them. If it fits and handles well, you shouldn't have any problems with it. I don't know how close you are to Jaqua's in Findley, Ohio, (some in Michigan travel down there on occasion) but they usually have Berettas in stock, so you might want to check on them if you can't find any in your area. Good luck.
