Now, I oughta be jealous of David because he got to test a primo Model 87 Target with no backlash, and I got stuck with one that seemed to backlash from Terni to Brescia. I should grind my teeth because my 0.35 inches group was only the best three shots, and his 0.35 inches group was for all five. However, I’m about 20 years older than David and can forgive him his sharper eyes and steadier hand. Moreover, that old thing about nature compensating seemed to be in play here … because my test Model 87 Target did not malfunction once. My friends and I all liked the way this little pistol was set up, and a bunch of us have put a bunch of ammo through it. Not enough bricks to build a house, but enough bricks of .22 ammo to know that Beretta Model 87 Target serial number C403120 is an extraordinarily reliable little pistol.

There is no reason this otherwise excellent little sporting .22 should not be coming out of the factory with a better trigger. There was even a very tiny contact point where the toe of the trigger touched the bottom edge of the trigger guard. Not enough to palpably drag, but enough to have left a tiny drag line on the finish inside the guard. Maybe my trigger finger is just getting numb. That minor drag point didn’t get in the way of shooting, but it shouldn’t have been there.
