Beretta 3901

Postby BrewGUN » Tue Aug 06, 2013 3:15 pm

Anyone have any personal experience with the beretta 3901. Lookin at a couple, look and doing like nice guns, felt one on Sunday. Just lookin for personal experiences. Personal not through the grapevine experience.
From what I've read they seem really nice. I like my mossy 935 but kinda big and heavy for divers and quick shooting sometimes. The only thing I would be missing would be the 3.5" option, but rarely shoot them anyways Exocet when Jehler works up a hot load to try out.
Sellin the 1187 frees up some coin for a usuable gun. I'll still keep the 935 for goose/turkey/backup. The 935 won't cycle 2.75" shells so it would be nice to be able to shoot clay targets without loading the 935 one at a time.

Don't own one, but hunted beside one a bunch. Good gun.

Either of you heard about shooting the light target loads? A few reviews say they've had a few issues while others say they shit the light stuff right out of the box and ignored the "heavy load break in" period.

Can't say I have. Dove hunting it does fine. Knowing the guy, he probably took it out of the box and went to shooting. I doubt he worried about a heavy load break in period.

Yep, I love mine. Profile of the 391 with the gas system of the 390. It doesn't get any better!

Old post but I have one. Hunted with it last season for the first time and it was awesome. Ran some light target loads through it before season and it never jammed. Can't wait to crack her out again this season.

I put quite a few target rounds through mine for my bachelor party pt 1, worked great. Took it out goose hunting with jehler and jgun and worked great, either that or Jgun was shooting across the spread and calling them his :lol:
I like the gun so far. Quite a bit lighter than my mossy 935, faster and feels smoother. I wish they offered the camo version in a 26" bbl for a bit less weight, but whatever.

I had one and loved the hell out of it. It was able to cycle my 3/4oz skeet loads reliably all day. But I traded it for an 11/87 trap grade.
