Also known as: DT11, Beretta DT-11
Overview
The Beretta DT11 is a premium 12 gauge over-and-under competition shotgun introduced in 2014 as the successor to the DT10 Trident. Built around a robust cross-bolt locking action with a receiver 3mm wider than its predecessor for added durability, it pairs Steelium Pro barrels with a long 480mm forcing cone and Beretta Optimachoke tubes to deliver consistent patterns with reduced recoil and muzzle rise. Configured for trap, skeet, and sporting clays disciplines, the DT11 is widely regarded as one of the finest competition over-unders in the world and is favoured at the highest levels of clay target shooting.
