Beretta 87 Target

Anyone have andy experience with one of these?  I am thinking of getting one.  Very good review in Nov. "Guns" magazine.  I have a Beretta 86 in .380 and I am impressed with its quality.

I've had the model 87 Cheetah for over 20 years.  Fantastic gun!!!!!!

Interestingly, when I first got the gun, I removed the spacer's in the two magazines.  This increased their capacity from 7 rounds to 10 rounds.  Those two magazines have been going strong for 20+ years in that configuration.

I'm sure the Target model is just as good as the original Cheetah, so you won't be disappointed.

I have never seen the Beretta Model 87 buy I do own a Beretta Model 89 accurized by Alex Hamilton in Texas that has helped me win four state 2700 champioships. After my first title I sold my hamerlli and never regretted it. the 89 was and still is an awesome target gun and I just love those wood grips. If too big you just take a file to them and work a little off at a time. Shoots almost thru the same hole at 25 yards with a ransom rest and 1/2" groups at 50 yards. My scores jumped 11 points the first time and it helped me go from expert to master in two matches.
