Yep, the bead is really a bunch of BS. These systems with the interchangeable colors and bead sizes are a bunch of BS too. Of course, I have one on every one of my clay guns and my SBE and Beretta 3901. I have never swapped out any of the fiber optic pins for a different color or a different size. They are the exact ones I put on when I installed them 5 or so years ago, and I don't know the color off the top of my mind. I know I had an option of red, yellow, or white. I know I didn't choose the white one, but I have no idea if I chose red or yellow.

I killed my first two pheasants with a Browning Auto-5 that had no bead on the barrel. We shot that thing for years and years without a bead, and we had no problem killing birds with it. I killed two doves with it this past fall, and I have no recollection of whether or not it now has a bead on it.
