May 13, 2026 — Beretta is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its refreshed Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I lineup with the introduction of updated 28-gauge and .410 bore field models, alongside the first-ever sub-gauge sporting configurations in the Silver Pigeon I family.

Following the 2025 refresh of the iconic Silver Pigeon I platform, which introduced a redesigned top lever and refined engraving updates, Beretta now extends those enhancements across its sub-gauge offerings. The new 28-gauge and .410 bore field models transition into the updated Silver Pigeon I design, while new Sporting variants give clay target shooters access to the same trusted Beretta over-and-under in lighter recoiling sub-gauge options.

“The 686 Silver Pigeon I has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted over-and-under shotguns in the world by combining timeless Italian craftsmanship with proven field performance,” said Caleb McMillen, Sr. Product Manager of Beretta USA. “With this latest expansion, we are completing the transition of the refreshed Silver Pigeon I family while introducing new sporting options that give sub-gauge shooters even more versatility on the range.”

Built on Beretta’s legendary low-profile 680-series action, the refreshed sub-gauge field and sporting models retain the premium features that define the Silver Pigeon I line, including:

  • Cold hammer-forged Steelium® barrels
  • Enhanced floral receiver engraving
  • Select European walnut stock and forend
  • Redesigned top lever geometry for smoother operation
  • Beretta interchangeable choke system

The refreshed Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I 28-gauge and .410 bore field models and new sub-gauge sporting variants are available now through authorized Beretta dealers nationwide and online.
