I was shooting trap this weekend (first time actually, lots of fun!) and the bead fell off of my Beretta AL 391 and disappeared. I've seen that replacement beads are sold by Midway etc., but I'm wondering if they are all standard sized threads. Or does Beretta have its own sized bead? I wish I'd known the darn things screw on - I would have been tightening it before heading out to shoot.

I didn't really notice any difference shooting without the bead though. I guess you're not supposed to be looking at the bead anyway, just the target!

EDIT -- nevermind. Beretta said they'd send me a new one at no cost. That's just darn good customer service on their part!
