Lloyd, I know this is obviously an older review/video, but truly worthy for shooters to watch and learn. The DT10 is an exceptional gun for the money. I owned 2 over the years, both a trap model and sporting model. Wished I still had them both. Like you mentioned, these are money well spent on a second hand version, as you will NOT lose on them. They are really built well, and keep in mind, they have detachable triggers, which also break crisp and pulls are consistently great without creep. I found them to be very light recoiling, and have superb dynamics to boot. Good job sir, keep up the great work. Your fan from USA. Rob G. in Missouri

[@lloydyp]

Thanks for watching Rob, the DT10 is still a top performer if you can find one for the right money in good condition.

[@RobGreenside]

Lloyd- super video my friend. I just picked up, this past Aug., a very nice DT10XTrap, with 32" barrels. I love it. I originally owned a sporter and trap model many years ago- and missed having a DT10, until watching your review a few times earlier this spring. I had the sear springs replaced, and found an extra trigger at another shoot this year too. Wonderful review- and you are spot on about these guns being true workhorses, and true value for the money. Thanks again Lloyd- all the best to you and your bride my friend. Regards from Missouri, USA.

Great quality review nice to see someone that that knows quality the gun feels like it is alive when the shooter mounts the gun to the shoulder

[@lloydyp]

Thanks Tom.

[@downesy32]

I baught a Beretta DT10 X trap last year. Best decision I ever made. Beautiful gun and it shoots beautifully...

[@lloydyp]

Nice one, how are you getting on with it?

[@finallevel29]

Always look forward to your honest and enjoyable videos Mr P. Keep em coming!

[@lloydyp]

Cheers man.

[@aisystemsnetau]

Great review reminds me of the exact same one I owned many years ago. Wish I had to opportunity to keep it. It was a stand out firearm at the clubs, turned plenty of heads.

[@lloydyp]

We all have 1 gun we wish we had never sold.

[@blackadder1966]

When I used to shoot at Bywell my dream gun was a Dt10, I had a 682 Gold E. My one and only trip back to England included an afternoon with mates at Bywell on the skeet layout. The 1st 25 i was using a kreighoff and didn't like the high rib and shot a 21 or 22. Then switched to another mates Dt10 and shot a 75 straight. Lots of water under the bridge and looking to get back into clays and upgrade from my browning Gp if all goes to plan. Unless buy a car or another 9mm! Ps Australia

[@roystinton5283]

Thanks it was a 694 new or the Dt10 I tried both and took the dt10home with me thanks again for the info .

Hey Roy, still enjoying the DT10?

[@roystinton5283]

@@davedunn7759 hi Dave I am still shooting well with the dt10 and I love it it is so well balanced.I tried a DT11 but it didn’t feel as good as the dt10 regards Roy.

[@blackadder1966]

Just found out my club as a DT10 club gun, so going to give it ago in 2 days, if I like I'll probably hunt down a Dt11 or wait for an Sl2. Twenty years ago the dt10 was a dream gun (i had a 682 gold e)

[@paulwilson7234]

Another enjoyable video , with good advice about the D T 10 .

[@lloydyp]

Cheers Paul.

[@clumhain]

good stuff Lloyd as usual.

[@lloydyp]

Thank you.

[@richardcranston1833]

Cheers Lloyd great review torn between a Ceasar Invictus or a DT

[@lloydyp]

Mmm, hell of a choice. Shoot them both and buy the one that fits you better.

[@richardcranston1833]

@@lloydyp cheers only been shooting a short time. Have a 725 as my first but there's something I like about Ceasar's.

[@Vusseyv881]

That gun is now nearer £4K than £3k they seem to have gone up. Nice review that. I am picking up a sportier, as I’m getting a lot more bang for buck over a new 694. Cheers

[@saadzia6007]

Thank you for sharing this with us. Next review should be Baikal MP 155 Sami auto if available in UK. The shotguns you are mainly reviewing are either not available or very very expensive in my area. Thanks in adv

[@lloydyp]

That's not available in the UK either.

[@saadzia6007]

@@lloydyp Thanks for prompt reply.

[@ralphsmith242]

There's something about the DT-10 that I don't understand. What's the difference between the DT10 trap and the DT10 x-trap? What does the X before the 'trap' mean? Is it just the rib?

[@charlesdouglas2877]

Nice - What carts are you using Lloyd as there doesn't seem to be much recoil.

[@lloydyp]

3 years ago, I havent got a clue but most likely superfast.

[@1valg]

That is a beautiful gun. Very nice piece of wood! Great and informative review as always,but I think it would be more enjoyable with the background music at a lower level, when You are shooting :-)

[@lloydyp]

I'll bear that in mind

[@PHYISH12]

I’ve been offered a dt 10 30” sporter, it’s been shortened to 29” with Teague chokes fitted, any opinions on this causing problems and de valuing the gun. Like you said in review they look and handle well, thanks for the reviews 👍

[@lloydyp]

It all depends on how well the work has been done. I've seen guns that look like they left the factory after custom work, and others that look like a yokel with an angle grinder set about them. You would need to inspect and test before committing.

[@PHYISH12]

@@lloydyp Ok thanks Lloyd much appreciated, I’m going to do 100 clays tomorrow so we’ll see, and I’ll check the pattern. Thanks again love the reviews 👍🏻

[@lloydyp]

[@mariojurisic538]

Second hand DT 10 sporting or new 694 sporting? What would you choose?

[@lloydyp]

If I could find a nice one, dt10. If you want warranty, 694.

[@mariojurisic538]

Tanx man you are the best. DT 10 then😊

[@golffish7599]

Damn i need to stop watching your reviews,looking for first proper clay gun...mk38,Dt10 decisions, decisions, great reviews Lloyd

[@lloydyp]

The MK38 is another classic dude, there are many excellent shooters out there who stick to miroku, and do very, very well with them. Try both, and buy the one that makes you smile.

[@stephenmac3105]

Nice job

[@lloydyp]

cheers

[@consumertester5665]

What does ‘struck off’ actually mean?

[@lloydyp]

Striking off is the final stage of barrel finishing where they are tapered and smoothed.

[@page11racing89]

Hi, Lloyd do you still have the DT10? I have a set of barrels for one.

[@lloydyp]

Lol I have never owned a DT10, I’ve reviewed over a hundred guns in the channel, I didn’t buy them all.

[@page11racing89]

@@lloydyp I did think that might be the case, thank you for the reply.

[@robedwards8239]

Hi Lloyd just want to say thanks for the review as I've just brought a dt10 as my first ever shotgun after your review 👍👍

[@mariojurisic538]

Would you buy second hand dt10 or new 692?

[@lloydyp]

Yes. Any day of the week.

[@clumhain]

Lloyd ever sen a beretta ugb semi? just met one this weekend, a wierd break open semi auto side load. Would make a good review!

[@lloydyp]

Yeah I know a few guys who have one, they are pretty rare in the UK however so difficult to get hold of one for review.

[@chrissprings4988]

Hi Lloyd, Do you think the x-trap would work for skeet. I like the trap comb and slightly raised rib of the x trap. thanks. CS

[@lloydyp]

You can shoot whatever you want with whatever you want. But the X trap is pretty heavy in the barrels. Just as long as you are aware of that.

[@lloydyp]

Have you tried or looked at a DT11 ACS?

[@chrissprings4988]

@@lloydyp . No I havent. I think the DT11 would put me in the doghouse with my wife. The DT10 won't break my budget. I currently shoot a K32 and a Browning XS pro comp

[@lloydyp]

Browning pro master?

[@chrissprings4988]

@@lloydyp No It's a Browning XS pro comp. It's basically a Browning xs skeet that's tricked out. ( adjustable comb, gracoil and barrel weights).

[@derekwolohan5606]

would there be much difference in the beretta dt10 x trap to the likes of the miroku mk38 trap or even the mk60 handling wise

[@lloydyp]

Yeah, they feel quite different to shoot. The Beretta as a completely different action profile to the superposed based guns, if you shoot them back to back you will understand. IMO the Beretta is nicer to shoot in the way it handles recoil, but this is subjective.

[@derekwolohan5606]

Lloyd Pattison I've been looking at both I've had a few shots from a dt10 sporter lovely handling gun with great triggers I'm currently using a 30" browning 325 sporter lovely gun but very barrel heavy I'm thinking of upgrading to something on the lines of the mk38 or dt10 so I'm trying to get as much info as I can

[@derekwolohan5606]

Lloyd Pattison cheers for that I'll try get to shoot as many as I can before I make up my mind. I'll Look forward to your next reviews thanks again

@@derekwolohan5606 get it properly fitted Derek, weighting up the stock will totally change that feel for you. I had no idea untill i had my cynergy fitted properly by a pro.
