Reviews & Ratings for Beretta OptimaChoke HP DLC Extended 12GA Choke Tube — 1 review — Page 1

These chokes won't perform any differently than your standard Optima HPs, but they look cool and the DLC coating is as durable as advertised. After 3 years of regular use, my factory Beretta chokes have developed small chips in the color-coded (aluminum?) bands that identify the constriction. This is caused by repeated contact with the top of my shoe when resting the gun. From what I've seen thus far, the DLC chokes don't have this issue. I also notice that the slick coating keeps the choke interiors much cleaner than the standard stainless steel. Almost no carbon build up at the bottom edge. As an added bonus, the DLC line of chokes offers a Light Modified construction while the standard line does not.
