BUT, if it has been identified as an issue, I would hope that Beretta would do something to change it.
I never carry it on my shoulder sideways like that (my 12 gauge has a sling anyway), so the safety has never come out of position on me. Getting a different spring kit may solve that issue as well. not wanting to do the metric to US conversion) and that solved the problem 100%. they changed loads to some with more 'oomph' (I didn't write down the load specs. Once we were in SA, we found that the local 'duck shells' wouldn't reliably cycle the gun. This MAY have been solved with a proper break-in period, but, not having the luxury of that much time, he sent it off to Seminole Gun Works and they worked on it. It worked well for him, but he had some issues with light loads not cycling well. They make systems that can install in the buttstock.Īs for the M2, my brother (left-handed) bought one before the Argentina trip. I know it sounds like overkill on a 20 gauge 391, but I was doing volume shooting in Argentina and wanted all the help I could get so I wouldn't get a messed up shoulder (recoil damage is a cumulative thing.) I love that system on that gun - it also helps follow-through immensely. I have the counterweight that goes in the buttstock of my 20 gauge 391, as well as a mercury-filled unit that replaces the magazine end cap. Graco makes an array of both mercury-filled and standard plain weight based recoil reducers.
