If the Perazzi feels good shoots well go for it. There's something about a Perazzi that is hard to explain, must be in the Italian styling. I had a MX 3 for years very pointable, and only 27 3/4" barrels! The crispest triggers, and a unusually flat comb.

Apprentice Gunsmith....you dark horse you
Well i am glad that my Perazzi cost 3.5k then,so what are the other issues?
Seen as Perazzis are all effectively a custom gun how do you compare it with a mass produced one?
Talking of quality the new Berettas are cack at least 50% of the people that i know have had problems with them,mine went back twice!
I have loads of guns and shoot most of them pretty well the cheapest an Mk38 trap...but it just doesn't feel the same.

So if I've understood correctly the consensus is that he should either definitely buy the Perazzi or definitely not buy the Perazzi, and either way he should either use grease or never use grease (but oil).
Sound about right ?

Do Beretta actually make all their own guns? I spoke with someone at Lonato who suggested to me that only the really expensive Berettas were made in Beretta's factories the rest were farmed out to other companies under the Beretta name.

I will put a bit more meat on the bones. He was a Zoli dealer who had taken a client around the Zoli factory to show how the guns are produced... at which point he said there would be little point in the person he took to Zoli going to Beretta because guns such as the DT11 and 690 range of guns are not made there

There are 83 new Perazzis for sale on GT and 142 used, quite obviously not one of them is a custom gun.
I fully understand that certain products in any walk of life can have a particular mystique which generates something close to obsession and often causes people to pay over the odds to have one. My only point about Perazzis is that when you look closely it's hard to see where all the money went.

Some really interesting thots being put up here. I certainly don't get too excited by the opinions of others and pretty much let my own experiences guide me. Since the early 90's the only Perazzi experience I regret is selling one in particular.
I'm sure that's just me and YMMV substantially. But I really don't care.oke:

So you can choose Length,Bore size,Rib width,Rib height,Choking Fixed 0-10 or Multichoke,Spring type,Removable trigger or not,Stock dimensions as requested or go to the factory and have one custom made,type of forend and probably a few others including colouring.Trip to the factory seeming to be quite popular.
And "quite obviously not one of them is a custom gun" thats quite a statement

Presumably he means that if you buy one of the guns from GT it won't be custom to the buyer.
Custom essentially means the dimensions are either wholly or nearly all selected by someone at their factory, I have shouldered at least a dozen of theses and shot most too, they all felt great, kinda like when you shoulder anything from the top brands. Custom doesn't mean they are completely weird or unshootable by others; but for the cast the best one I ever picked up was a left hander a mate bought last year, he unfortunately eventually sold it as he shoots semi automatics and Miroku's better for some reason.

Are you paid a lot of money by Lamber?
While it's true that using a gun that fits will enable you to hit more.
A perazzi or Beretta DT11 or the like will still be being "run in" and will unless abused it will last a lifetime. Whereas a comp shooter would prob be placing a gun of the underbolted stub pin design in a skip or it will need serious refurb after 2 years. As for fit. The higher grade guns can be made to fit any shap or size at initial purchase or adapted in a cost effective manner (cost of work relative to gun value & length of ownership) due to the ready avilability of interchangeable stocks.
Thats not to A lamber aren't good value, they are. But they either fit or don't and if they fit and you don"t shoot large amounts then they are fine.

DT11 must be one of the most altered and re-developed guns ever made. The very first ones had unpopular stock designs and are so much heavier and less well balanced than the latest models, albeit the new ones are expensive and have to have things like carbon ribs to make up for the initial barrel weight. So I wonder if to get the best one you’re buying the early gun, with the cost of fixes added on. Seems a mash up, albeit perhaps with a nice gun at the end of it.
That's not right, if you shoot skeet most Olympic shooter use 29", I have Mx2000 in 29",for many it's a problem to handle the 30 inch 76cm, if your not a pro, but in America
you are allowed to have the stock up not by the side like in Europe, maybee, that's a difference, some things are easy sellable in Europe but not in the US, thank you for a great app, kindest regards Claus Nielsen
