Beretta SV10 Perennia III

The receiver, while maintaining the traditional Beretta locking system with trapezoidal shoulders and double longitudinal locking lugs, is strongly characterized by the sideplates that stand out from the sides in an arrow-head shape. The locking shoulders of the monobloc and their corresponding seats on the receiver feature new and increased shapes that are not only better integrated into the design of the sideplates, but also improve the efficiency of the lock-up. The styling refinements continue into the shape of the stock inletting, which now moves well forward into the sides of the receiver, consolidating the rigidity of the assembly. In the new Perennia over-and-under, Beretta introduces a new patented extraction system that allows the selection between automatic ejection or simple mechanical extraction of the fired shell. The latter, “environmentally friendly” mode, allows the easy removal of the shells from their chambers. The selector is easily accessed by simply removing the fore-end. The newly designed extractors are precisely guided along the entire length of the barrel monobloc to ensure impeccable extraction and ejection of the shells. The large contact surface area of the extractors on the rim of the shell improves its retention and reliability. Well proportioned yet characterized by a significant size, the hinge pins, also thanks to a new special internal reinforcement shoulder, offer the maximum resistance to the stress of years of use. Positioned as close as possible to the lower barrel axis, the pins allow the compactness, elegance and strength of the receiver. The new profile Q-Stock features an exclusive attachment system to the receiver, patented by Beretta, which allows its disassembly in just a few seconds – for replacement, special work or access to the trigger mechanism – without having to remove the recoil pad. This new Q-Stock design no longer requires the traditional internal through-bolt since it attaches directly to the receiver, increasing the solidity of the receiver-stock assembly.
