Beretta Silver Pigeon PUMP

I just inherited one of these seldom seen firearms from my dad.

Considering it's a 50 year old gun, it's in pristine shape.

Sounds like it'll do alright for a trap gun until I save enough $$ for something better suited to busting clays. I'm going to pattern it and wring it out tonight.

I've run across a couple of these over the decades. IMO, a fine shotgun that just didn't sell well.

I did shoot one a bit, pointed like an 870.

HTH.....

This thread is worthless without pictures.

(I am sure there are many here that have not seen one of these, me included.)

Shot well on my first two rounds and then 2 shots into the 3rd round....CLICK.....CLICK....

The shell was engaging and the safety was in fact off, but the trigger would not click.

Short story - trip to the gunnysmith to troubleshoot. Photos coming.

Up to that point, I ran 12 straight. The gun shoots flat but I was able to adjust.
