I just assumed that gun was made for the European market and not readily available in the U.S. Dave has just turned our world upside down!

Nice gun Dave! I've thought about getting a dedicated single trigger target gun, but don't shoot enough clays yet to justify it. Happy for you!

Thanks Mark and DUKFVR. I had it out at the 5-stand today, and I really like how it shoots.

Super gun, Dave. How will you ever miss with that little beauty?

On a recoil pad that's too grippy, try a discretely-placed strip of black electrical tape. Size the tape strip to leave just as much "grippy-ness" as you like. On pads that are too slippery (Galco leather slip-ons, for instance), I use tan-colored 3M Nexcare Absolute Waterproof cushioned tape -- again, sized and placed for a "grip" that feels right. Looks like the pad on your new gun might be a little square edged at the heel, too -- might need a little heel taper or edge rounding to facilitate your mount. Get some of that sharp blue 100 grit sandpaper, tape it tight around a flat stick (paint stirring stick?), and use it like a file to shape the pad to your preference.

Cheers!
Tony

Thanks, Tony. I did just what you said last week in strategically adding a strip of electrical tape around the top and halfway down the sides of the pad. It works well! I also took some flat black paint and covered the shiny mid bead and the rear surface of the fiber optic front bead. Much better! I have no bead on my Beretta OU and shoot it well.

I shot probably 350-400 rounds through it without a hitch then last week I finally shot it at paper to check the barrel regulation and patterns. After about the 4th shot I couldn't open the gun to eject the empties. Finally I got it open by thumping it against my knee with considerable effort and out popped the hulls. The hulls looked OK with no primer drag marks and I was thinking, "Great, I'll probably have to send it in right away for repair." Then last Thursday I shot 75 rounds at 5-stand, and yesterday another 100+ at super sporting without a hint of trouble.

As I was reorganizing my shooting bag and leftover shells I spotted the round below. The bulge wraps all the way around the backside of the hull. It's a factory Herter's, 1 oz. 8's. The plastic leans away from the brass (steel) in the direction of the bulge. Mystery solved.

I believe I read somewhere that the quality of the Herter's shell slipped near the end of the run. Keep an eye on them.

Ditto. I have about 12 cases of Herters but have not noticed this so far. Haven’t really been looking tho.

Looking back I do remember a couple were a little tight going into the chamber. I should have examined them to see why, but I just assumed the brass was a little oversized. That and I’m used to shooting some less than perfect reloads now and then. Won’t make that mistake again.

(Note the handle change.)
