Built on the 686 Silver Pigeon I platform, this Sporting model is a break-action over/under with a 2-round capacity and 3" chambers. The barrels are marked "SPORTING" and include an "EXCELSIOR H.S. STEEL" marking, along with a visible bore marking of "18.6" and a "KG 1.390" marking.
The receiver wears a silver/coin finish with floral scroll engraving and is marked "BERETTA" and "686 SILVER PIGEON I." Italian proof/inspection marks are present on the gun, though they are not fully legible.
This shotgun uses a tang-mounted safety/selector with a red indicator dot, paired with a single trigger. It is set up with a ventilated top rib and an interchangeable choke system, and it ships with both extended and flush chokes for a practical spread of constriction options.
The walnut stock features a neutral grip with a slight right-hand cast off, along with a recoil pad. Length of pull is listed at 14.5, which is a common sporting fit and works well with the included stock configuration.
