Xscream

The DT10 is a great shotgun - I've owned one for many years. As some have hinted at, Berettas don't always fit folks out of the box (but really, what shotgun does unless you are dumb lucky). As much as I loved by 682E, the DT10 is a step up in my eyes.

I too have never had an issue with the a shell getting caught - however, I did send my whole gun to Jeff for the lifter, opening the loading port, etc. A friend tried to duplicate my gun by purchasing parts and installing himself and I can tell you his gun is not the same. I'm not sure exactly all got done to my gun, but there are some little tweaks (cleaning up of edges, fitting, etc.) that were done while my gun was down there that you won't get if you just purchase a lifter and throw it into a receiver that you opened up. While I don't think you need yet another recommendation for Jeff - he's got it from me.

Surprised no one has suggested G-Code XST series. I have been running ALS holsters a long time, and while I like them, the retention release on the XST is straight down making the draw more natural. This assumes you want some form of active retention and not just friction.

This may be a stupid question, but were the tabs on the lifter where the pin goes through the firing group square? I've seen two or three lifters come back from the welder with a slight bend, causing the lifter to not be centered in the port. It is not significant, but just enough to alter where the shell is placed when the bolt slides forward.

I had the same issue with mine and sent it back to Remington to fix - they took care of the issue (tapped one size larger) for all the screws.

There are some .40 limited available in my town. If anyone is still waiting, PM me and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the FFL.

Excited to see the revival of a national three gun match in Minnesota! Jay and Jomar always put together a great matches.

They let me keep them.

To help those wondering, I was told they had a batch of guns go out configured for international shipments, however, they were for domestic sale. That is where the confusion came in and why some folks got 126s in place of 140s. If you got 126s, call STI. My replacement mags arrived in 3 days.

Update: Great chat with the folks at STI. It appears that it was an error in shipment. If anyone got the 126mm by mistake, give them a call. STI customer service.

Has STI responded to you?

I picked up my DVC 9mm today - everything looks great, except for the mags being too short. When the DVC launched STI advertised 2 - 140mm mags. If you have looked at their site recently they changed the spec to "two magazines". Sure enough mine came with 2 - 126mm mags. Did anyone get 140's? Crappy that I pre-ordered, was delivered 4 months late and get screwed on the mags.

Thank you for the update Dustin, understanding that you are doing this on your own time. The little bit of info you provided is more than enough to keep me happy.

I want to echo the prior comments, for 1,500 you can get a quality OU. Citoris or a 686 can be found in the price range and can accommodate a left hand cast.

I wonder if beretta knows that someone stole thier name.
