What is the difference between Beretta Steelium Plus and Steelium Pro barrels on the Beretta DT11?

The main difference between Steelium Plus and Steelium Pro barrels is the length of the forcing cone and so the level of performance optimisation.

• Steelium Plus barrels feature an extended forcing cone to improve shot consistency and reduce recoil
• Steelium Pro barrels, designed specifically for the Beretta DT11, go further – extending the forcing cone up to 450mm on 32″ barrels. This results in greater pattern density, reduced pellet deformation & smoother recoil.
