I had a Ithaca MX8 ,great guns. As far as lacking grace and beauty? I've never heard anyone say that about a Perazzi.

I've got an imported by Ithaca Perazzi Comp1 skeet gun with 27 9/16” bbls. that are Tula choked. Others comment on how wonderful they are on the skeet field. But, I enjoy shooting my Parker Reproduction Sporting Clays Classic better.

Horses for courses.... During the time my students were reffing many of the major Sporting clays events in the US I saw a large number of P guns on the courses. Shooters said they liked the "feel" of the P guns as opposed to the less svelte American produced guns. It should be noted that a goodly number of shooters were also shooting K guns and Kolar, as well. Two very different types of guns and then there were a few Blaser guns showing up.
These are all high end comp shotguns. Just for interest's sake check out the last Olympic trap videos. Mostly high half rib P guns. Go figure....

Last utube Olympic trap video I watched had 80% of the shooter's using a Perazzi.

I owned the Heidimarie Hiptmayer engraved and gold inlaid Mirage that was pictured in an early Gun Digest, foolishly sold it because it turned out to be a lefthanded gun stocked by her talented husband, Klaus. I shot it very well, but it was above my pay grade at the time. I wonder who owns that gun today? I would buy it back at five times what I sold it for.

I've owned an Ithaca imported MX8, and now own a Winchester imported one. Both great old guns. I've shot all the K guns, the Italian SC guns, and nothing handles like my MX8. As long as I'm able to shoot sporting clays I'll never sell it.

Personally, I think Perazzi guns look a helluva lot better than Kreighoff, and I like the handling better, too. I never cared for the Germanic, angular look, and Kreighoffs feel "dead" in my hands. Italian guns are much prettier and handle much better, IMO. |
