Description
Beretta took the A300 gas system that has cycled countless rounds in duck blinds and on clay courses, then rebuilt it for the job of protecting your home. The result is the A300 Ultima Patrol, a 12 gauge semi-auto that gives you a lot of the 1301 Tactical experience without the 1301 price tag. The gas operation soaks up recoil noticeably better than inertia-driven guns, which means faster follow-up shots and a shoulder that does not hate you after a long range session.
What Makes the A300 Ultima Patrol Ready to Work
The 19.1 inch barrel wears a ghost ring rear sight paired with a fiber optic front post, so you get quick target acquisition in low light without needing to add anything. If you do want a red dot, the factory-installed 7-slot Picatinny rail has you covered, and the receiver accepts 1301 Tactical aftermarket rail and optic mounts too. The extended magazine tube holds seven 2.75 inch shells, and the 3 inch chamber gives you flexibility on ammo. A barrel clamp with integrated M-LOK slots and a QD socket keeps that tube locked down, and the slimmed forend adds three more M-LOK points at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for a light exactly where your support hand can reach it.
Controls Built for Stress, Not Just the Bench
Beretta enlarged the bolt handle, bolt release, and safety button, and the safety is reversible for lefties. The loading port is opened up and beveled so you can stuff shells fast without pinched fingers. The compact 13 inch length of pull keeps the gun maneuverable in hallways and works well with body armor or heavy clothing, and aggressive texturing on the synthetic furniture keeps everything planted even with sweaty or gloved hands.
A Defensive Shotgun That Earns Its Spot
At 7.1 pounds, the Ultima Patrol handles quickly, cycles defensive loads with the kind of consistency Beretta gas guns are known for, and needs nothing more than a sling and light to be truly set up. The barrel is threaded for chokes with an improved cylinder installed from the factory, so patterning your preferred buckshot is straightforward. This is one of the strongest values in the tactical shotgun market, plain and simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the A300 Ultima Patrol and the Beretta 1301 Tactical?
The biggest difference is internal. The 1301 uses Beretta's BLINK gas and rotating bolt system, which cycles a bit faster with fewer parts, while the A300 Ultima Patrol runs the time-tested A300 gas action. Externally they share a very similar tactical feature set, including enlarged controls, ghost ring sights, and M-LOK points, and the Ultima Patrol is even compatible with 1301 Tactical aftermarket rails and optic mounts. For most people, the A300 delivers the majority of the 1301 experience at a friendlier price.
Can I mount a red dot on the A300 Ultima Patrol?
Yes. It ships with a 7-slot Picatinny rail already installed on the receiver, so most shotgun-sized red dots bolt right on. It also accepts aftermarket rail and optic mounts made for the 1301 Tactical if you want a lower or different mounting solution.
Does the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol accept choke tubes?
It does. The 19.1 inch barrel is threaded for Beretta's Mobil choke system and comes with an Improved Cylinder choke installed from the factory. That makes it easy to pattern different buckshot loads or tighten things up for other uses.
How many rounds does the A300 Ultima Patrol hold?
The extended magazine tube holds seven 2.75 inch shells, plus one in the chamber for 7+1 total. The tube is secured by a barrel clamp with built-in M-LOK slots and a QD sling socket. The chamber accepts up to 3 inch shells, though capacity in the tube drops slightly with the longer rounds.
