I have a Beretta 686 Whit Onyx that was kicking my tail....I bought a limbsaver and was able to shoot 150 rounds through it and had no soreness the next day. Not to mention, the it was cut to fit my gun perfectly. Without a doubt, I recommend the limbsaver. If u go to midwayusa.com, it is only $33 with shipping. That is a good 20 less than what you are going to pay for a Beretta gel pad. Hope this helps!
