It is worth the investment if you end up with a gun that you shoot well and will shoot for a long time, which looks like what you have. I totally agree about the POW/half hand/Woodward grips, much easier to carry in coverts. The Beretta OUs really show their merit in the sub gauges - light, well balanced and reliable. And a fixed choke gun with SK and Mod is a very adaptable gun. Go forth and enjoy!

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
