Owners of the Beretta Silver Pigeon III describe it as a well-balanced field gun that transitions comfortably between hunting and light clays use. The 20 gauge chambering is popular with upland hunters who prefer the lighter weight, and the 30-inch barrel length suits those who shoot driven birds or sporting clays more than tight coverts.

The Silver Pigeon III sits in the middle of Beretta's 680-series lineup, and owners generally feel the engraving and wood grade represent a meaningful step up from the base Silver Pigeon I without crossing into the price territory of the higher-grade variants. Trigger pull quality is usually described as clean, though some shooters adjust the length of pull before putting it into regular use.

The "Used" designation appearing on some listings draws attention to the 687's reputation for durability. Buyers of used examples report that the guns show minimal wear at the lockup surfaces even after extended use, which reflects well on the 687's mechanical design. The common reservation is that wood-to-metal fit can loosen over time on heavily used guns.
