Beretta question

Khegglie
An oldtimer back for a bit...glad to see the Captain & Nunn are still with us...Guys, I need help with a shotgun question:

I have a Beretta O/U that I have had for twelve yrs plus (prior to youngest son birth)given to me by family friend. There is no serial # that I can detect...or I totally missed it...my strong point is rifles not shotguns.I have no idea how old it is...it is in very good shape. It is a 20 gauge, 3 inch chamber. It has the following markings on the barrel.

High strength Chromium Molybdenum steel
BL-3
P. Beretta Gardone VT
Gardone Sporting Arms Teaneck NJ

Being as my youngest son has developed an instant bond with my 20 gauge 870...I have been using the Beretta to shoot claybirds with him and get ready for the upcoming season.
I would like to hunt with him and not have to use two types of shells.

My question is: Can I shoot steel through this shotgun without bulging the barrels or otherwise injuring an heirloom...

any info greatly appreciated...


Thanks swede

    I'm thinking of purchasing a Beretta 92A1 or Beretta M9A1. Theres a price dif. but I don't see the dif nor do most friends of mine. The only dif I can possibly think of is the protective coating that the M9A1 mags have...is that the only dif? Both have the rail, same weight, mag cap. is dif 17(92A1) vs 15(M9A1). Please help as my purchase will happen quite soon. Thanks for any help offered!

    Not directly applicable to your question, but....

    I have had a 92FS (9mm) that I have shot close to 7,000 rounds through (take it up to John Benner's TDI of Ohio for tactical courses for several years).

    www.tdiohio.com

    It fits me, has NEVER stove piped or jammed, has excellent accuracy for tactical/combat work, etc. etc.

    I say again, it FITS my hand well. That has led to very satisfactory plinking, tactical course work, and practice sessions. The .40 would just be a different caliber...all else being equal.

    SEMPER FI<BR>
