History
First appearing in 2000, the Beretta 87 Target is based on the Beretta 87 Cheetah, which had already gained much respect for its accuracy.
Specifications
The Beretta 87 Target was designed as a competition and training pistol. Its accuracy is enhanced through its longer barrel and adjustable sights. It is also fitted with a weaver rail so that optics can be fitted.
Intended market
The Beretta 87 Target appeals to sports shooters for bullseye, practice and combat shooting.
Design advantages
Very reliable, light, accurate and affordable. One of very few .22 LR pistols that have a double-action trigger mechanism.
Limitations
The Beretta 87 Target lacks the high quality trigger pull found on more expensive .22 LR sports pistols.
