Beretta makes a good gun, I can't shoot them. They don't fit me at all. A couple of my buddies own them and love them. Which ever gun feels the best to you[28 or 30] is the one you should grab. They take a little getting used to because they are lighter than the 12. If you have a trap range or your own thrower start with some straight aways to get used to the feel of the gun. Be as smooth as you can and keep it moving. Unlike the 12 that moves itself on crossers the 28 is way to easy to stop. It won't take you long, took me about 100 shell to get the feel. But I came from shooting 20s. I shoot mostly AAs, but Estates are good shells and cheaper, not that any thing for a 28 is cheap. That's why I reload. Make sure you purchase some extra chokes. I have 2 skeet, 2 IC, 2 MOD and 2 full. I stick with the IC/IC set most of the time, but there are times you may need more or less. All my upland hunting is done over pointing dogs so my shots are close. Enjoy the new gun, let me know how you like it and buy that wife a bunch of roses.
