Thank you for all the feedback, I did not expect less from the Council of Wise Men!
I should share with you what happened when I shot it for the first time last week;
It had been some time since I had done any shooting with my Idal (16ga.) because I was
getting a pounding that left me with a big headache. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed
with a rather odd condition called Idiopathic Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis -I
know, it took me some time to learn the name- and although I am really well, I am more
sensitive to recoil. Considering the weight of the Beretta it was with some trepidation that I faced my trial.
Fittingly I used some Italian shells (CIP specs) with 24grams of shot (app. 7/8oz).
I did not feel the first shot and I dusted the clay pigeon! No recoil! I was really astounded!
I suppose I mounted it properlyly and she fits me.
Your comments on this will also be appreciated.
Sorry, rather long winded of me.
Regards and thank you All again.
