Description
Beretta took one of its most trusted gas-operated platforms and rebuilt it for the defensive role, and the result is one of the best values in tactical shotguns today. The A300 Ultima Patrol runs a gas system with a compensating exhaust valve and self-cleaning piston, which is a big part of why these guns cycle so smoothly and shrug off long range sessions without fuss. The 19.1 inch chrome-lined barrel keeps the whole package compact at around 38 inches overall, and the 3 inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to full-power buckshot and slugs. This version pairs a gray anodized receiver with black synthetic furniture for a look that stands apart from the standard black model.
Controls Built for Fast Hands
Everything you touch on the A300 Ultima Patrol has been enlarged where it counts. The oversized bolt handle and extended bolt release are easy to hit under stress or with gloves on, the loading port is opened up for quicker tube feeding, and the safety button is oversized and reversible for left-handed use. The stock is trimmed to a short 13 inch length of pull, which keeps the gun quick-swinging in tight spaces and comfortable for a wide range of body types, especially when you are wearing a vest or heavy jacket.
Accessory-Ready From the Factory
The extended magazine tube gives you 7+1 capacity and is locked down by a barrel clamp with integral M-Lok slots and a QD sling socket. Add the slim M-Lok forend, three QD sling points, and the installed 7-slot Picatinny rail up top, and you have plenty of real estate for a light, sling, and red dot without buying a single adapter. It also accepts many aftermarket rail and optic mounts made for the Beretta 1301 Tactical, so the upgrade path is wide open.
Why the A300 Ultima Patrol Earns Its Spot
At 7.1 pounds with an adjustable ghost ring rear sight and interchangeable front post, this is a shotgun that points naturally, soaks up recoil, and feeds reliably. For home defense, patrol duty, or shotgun classes, it delivers features that used to cost a lot more.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the A300 Ultima Patrol compare to the Beretta 1301 Tactical?
The 1301 uses Beretta's faster Blink gas system and costs noticeably more, while the A300 Ultima Patrol uses the proven A300 gas action with a self-cleaning piston. In practical terms, both cycle plenty fast for defensive use, and the A300 gives you the same 7+1 capacity, ghost ring sights, and M-Lok mounting at a friendlier price. It also accepts many 1301 Tactical aftermarket rails and optic mounts, so upgrade options carry over.
Can I mount a red dot and weapon light on the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol?
Yes, and you will not need any adapters to get started. It ships with a 7-slot Picatinny rail installed on the receiver for optics, plus three M-Lok slots on the forend and barrel clamp for a light. There are also three QD sockets built in for quickly attaching a sling.
Will the A300 Ultima Patrol cycle low-recoil buckshot reliably?
The gas system with its compensating exhaust valve is designed to run a wide range of loads, and owners report solid reliability with everything from light birdshot to full-power defensive ammo. As with any new semi-auto shotgun, it is smart to pattern and function-test your chosen defensive load before you count on it. The 3 inch chamber handles 2.75 and 3 inch shells.
Is the safety on this shotgun usable for left-handed shooters?
Yes. The crossbolt safety button is oversized for easy manipulation and is reversible, so it can be switched over for left-handed operation. Combined with the extended bolt release and enlarged loading port, the controls work well from either shoulder.
