The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I is one of the more frequently cited mid-tier over/unders in owner conversations, and 20 gauge buyers in particular appreciate the lighter weight relative to 12 gauge variants. The walnut and silver combination draws consistent praise for its classic appearance, and most owners describe the fit and finish as well above average for the price tier.

On the range, the 686 Silver Pigeon I is regularly described as a smooth handler for sporting clays and upland work. The trigger is one of the more discussed features, with most owners rating it positively compared to competing over/unders at a similar price, though some prefer a crisper break.

Long-term, owners tend to view the 686 as a keeper rather than a starter gun. The main criticism is the price relative to Turkish-made competitors, but most who own one consider the Beretta name and parts availability worth the difference.
