Building on the success of the A300 Ultima sporting shotgun, the A300 Patrol brings enhanced durability, ergonomics, and versatility to the tactical shotgun market.

Key Features of the Beretta A300 Patrol
1. Gas-Operated Reliability
The A300 Patrol utilizes Beretta’s proven Blink gas-operated system, which reduces recoil significantly compared to traditional pump-action or inertia-driven shotguns. This system ensures smoother cycling, faster follow-up shots, and less shooter fatigue—critical factors in high-stress situations.
2. Enhanced Durability & Corrosion Resistance
- Cerakote Finish: The receiver and barrel are treated with a durable Cerakote coating, protecting against rust and wear.
- Chrome-Lined Barrel: The 18.5″ barrel (also available in 20″) is chrome-lined for increased longevity and easier cleaning.
- Aluminum Receiver: Lightweight yet rugged, the receiver is designed to withstand heavy use.
3. Optimized Ergonomics & Controls
- Textured Pistol Grip & Forend: Provides a secure hold in all conditions.
- Oversized Charging Handle & Bolt Release: Easy to manipulate, even with gloves.
- Ambidextrous Safety: Accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters.
4. Tactical-Ready Design
- M-LOK Compatible Forend: Allows for easy attachment of lights, lasers, and grips.
- Optic-Ready Picatinny Rail: Comes pre-installed for red dot or holographic sights.
- Extended Magazine Tube: Holds 7+1 rounds (2.75″ shells) for increased capacity.
5. Improved Recoil Management
The A300 Patrol features an enhanced recoil pad and the gas-operated system, making it one of the softest-shooting 12GA tactical shotguns available.
