I started off shooting with an early DT11 Sporter, although barrel heavy I really loved that gun, shot well with it and kept it a few years. Then got the opportunity to purchase the exclusive 10th anniversary edition, it was at this point the wheels came off the Beretta band wagon. Pre covid beretta were and still are some of the best made guns out there. From my experience Post COVID guns the quality most certainly took a dive. Finish issues, top levers locking up, loose forends, rattling drop out triggers, overly tight actions making the gun almost impossible to open, and then there’s the dealing with GMK throughout the whole debacle. I had in total 5 DT11’s over 12 months, with 3 being direct from Italy, the final 2 being DT11EELL, which were absolutely stunning but full of issues. Even the one in this vid looked tight to open. I genuinely hope they’ve sorted out the issues and are back to making great guns as I’m a genuine fan of the DT11. Look at the last of the DT11 Golds, as for me these were brilliant and pre covid. I’m also surprised they haven’t included the DLC chokes for the DT11 DLC? I mean why wouldn’t they? Ah right, upgrades and extra cash 😂 naught beretta. Carbon fibre rib? Let’s see how that ones lasts, if it’s anything like the original black I’m guessing just outside of the 3 year warranty period if you’re lucky. Nice bit of kit, shoot well. Nice vid JC, good to see you back doing these types of vids. Always a pleasure to see you with ed solomons ( cracking lad he is) as for the other Ed 😒. For the minute I’ll think be sticking with the K80 😉. Keep up the good work fella! 🙏🇬🇧❤️

This is not a criticism directed only at Beretta, however... These prices simply cannot be justified. If you were a shooter of the level that would buy a DT11 you likely already have a very good shotgun. What is the motivation for the non-sponsored shooter to pay rack rate $13,000+ USD to move (I won't say upgrade because that's a matter of opinion depending on what you're already shooting) to this DT? I feel that the age of the price is no object mindset has come and gone and manufacturers need to start thinking about both performance AND value.
@WarlordEnthusiast7 ай бұрын
The DT series feels like more of a show gun, something you purchase because you have the money to buy the best of whatever you want. The market is still huge and growing for ultra premium everything. You can easily get a good O/U that can compete with a DT11 for half the price or less, but at the end of the day it won't be a DT11.

Beretta also makes the A300 sporting which costs $1100 and it's a great value. The DT11 is a flagship clays gun. It's gonna be expensive. My complaint, which wasn't mentioned in the video, is that the move to DLC coating is because the EU now, as of 2024, prohibits the chrome electroplating processes that Beretta legacy guns all used for their famous heavy-lined chrome bores. Those pros shooting 30k rds/year will never wear out those chrome bores in their lifetimes. The DLC? It's hard, but it is not as durable as the legacy heavy chrome. A pro shooting regimen will eventually wear through the DLC in the bore. But, they're getting their guns fully overhauled every few years anyhow, so does that matter? Arguably no, but it's annoying that the customer isn't given the choice any longer.

The DT-11 is a proven gun, but it's always interesting to hear guys like Matarese (who, recently switched to a SL2) extoll the virtues of the gun and then in a subsequent interview on another channel talk about how he never liked the width of the DT11 action, etc. While I appreciate their input as bona fide champions, it's always important to remember that job #1 is to sell guns. I don't think anyone at my level can go wrong with either, just interesting, nonetheless.

For the money you pay for this, it should come with a nicer case (as do, for example, Ceasar Guerinis). I can't imagine anyone who lays out 12k or more for this isn't going to immediately buy a better case. Otherwise, I lust after this as I shuffle around with my humble, though beloved SP1.

I’m not convinced about the DLC coating though as that’s what Blaser F3 has and I ruined mine by cleaning it regularly. It faded badly over a few years. I was using paper kitchen roll and would swap to cloth if I had DLC again. BTW I can’t see this available as a 32” yet

JC, what's the weight difference with the carbon rib and trigger set, on say the 30"? Also what difference does it make to the balance point of carbon vs steel? I do appreciate you can use B-fast barrel weights as well as stock weights, but that would negate going carbon to start with! I appreciate you showed balance, but does this mean there's less weight in the butt to balance the lighter rib? Lovely gun, and I like the zombie green. I do like the L with engraving more though 🥰 Side question; why do you not do a balance test with cartridges in? This surely is more practical for testing balance for shooting?
