:help:I am wanting to change the bead on my Beretta A-390 Silver Mallard shotgun to a fiber optic bead. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best brand for my model gun that would not involve any gunsmithing?

Has anyone used that Burris speed bead on their shotgun? It is some type of holographic sight. I don't know if it fits my gun or not, but it looks neat.

I use the Hi-viz
Cheap and works.......

But I took the bead off my son's U391 and he shoots much better

Do you use the Hi-Viz that screws into the rib or the magnetic type?

Jo......I have a 390.....I changed mine out, just use a "good" small pair of pliers or channel locks it will unscrew. I use the Hi viz also. When you put a screw in type fiber optic back on use a small dab of fingernail poslish on the threads, works like lock tight but not as tight!

Thanks for the tip and to everyone else also for the help. I just ordered a Hi Viz from Mac's Prarie Wings. Maybe that will help me actuall kill something instead making a lot of noise to scare off the ducks!:D
