I love its clean modern lines without the fussy game scenes seen on most guns and the handling is great.
Quality control seems to be suffering. I had to send mine back to have the choke threads eased. Now the exterior is tarnished after four months.
Overall I really like the 686e. It has nice oiled wood and generally looks great. It is mechanically reliable with good strong ejectors and in 30in barrels it points and swings very well. The downside seems to be quality control. I have had a few niggly problems which have had to be rectified by the manufacturer which has slightly put me off. Not a bad gun but not as good as Beretta thinks it is. Don't just buy on Beretta's reputation - other makes should be looked at too!
