Description
The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 12 Gauge 5+1 Gray Synthetic is a gas-operated semiautomatic defensive shotgun built on the proven A300 platform. It uses a self-cleaning piston and compensating exhaust valve for reliable cycling with a wide range of 12-gauge loads, from light target shells to heavy defense rounds. The gray synthetic stock, ghost-ring sights, and MIL-STD Picatinny rail make it ready for close-quarters security and home defense right out of the box.

Key Features
- Gas-Operating System with Self-Cleaning Piston — This keeps carbon and fouling away from the action, so the shotgun runs cleaner longer. You spend less time scrubbing and more time training.
- Enlarged Controls & Enhanced Loading Port — The bolt release, charging handle, and safety are oversized for gloved hands or stress reloads. The beveled loading port shaves seconds off reloads — critical when every round counts.
- MIL-STD Picatinny Rail & M-LOK Forend — Mount a red dot, light, or laser without adapters. The barrel clamp also has M-LOK slots, so you can set up a forward grip or sling mount exactly where you need it.
- Ghost-Ring Sights — The rear aperture and front post give a fast, precise sight picture in low light or close quarters. They’re fully adjustable for windage and elevation, so you can zero your shotgun to match your ammo.
- Fixed Synthetic Stock — The gray synthetic stock is tough, weather-resistant, and has a soft rubber buttpad to reduce felt recoil. Fixed length of pull means no wobble or loose parts — just solid, repeatable shouldering.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the family defender who wants a reliable, easy-to-operate firearm for home protection. It’s also a great choice for the new shooter stepping up from a pump action, because the gas system tames recoil and the oversized controls make manipulation simple. If you’re a three-gun competitor or patrol officer, the A300 Ultima Patrol gives you a ready-to-run platform without the price tag of a custom build.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Beretta’s proven gas system runs clean and cycles light target loads reliably — great for practice and training new shooters.
- Pro: M-LOK and Picatinny rails let you attach lights, lasers, and optics without gunsmithing.
- Con: The fixed stock does not adjust for length of pull, so it may not fit very small or very large shooters perfectly. A spacer kit would be a welcome addition for family use.

FAQ
Does the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol come with a choke tube?
Yes, it ships with a flush-modified Beretta Mobil choke tube installed. You can swap it for other Beretta Mobil chokes (cylinder, improved cylinder, full) for different shot patterns or loads.
Can I mount a red dot sight on this shotgun?
Absolutely. The receiver has a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail, so any red dot or holographic sight with a Picatinny clamp will mount directly. No adapter plates needed.
What is the magazine capacity of the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol?
It holds 5 rounds in the tube magazine plus 1 in the chamber, for a total capacity of 6 rounds of 2.75-inch shells. Use 3-inch shells and capacity drops slightly due to shell length.
Is this shotgun suitable for left-handed shooters?
Yes, the safety and bolt release are ambidextrous-friendly. The charging handle is on the right side, but Beretta offers left-handed versions if you prefer a left-side handle. The stock is symmetrical, so it works for both hands.
Trust Beretta’s reputation: Over 80% of law enforcement agencies worldwide use Beretta firearms for duty and training (per Beretta 2023 corporate data). The A300 Ultima Patrol brings that same reliability to your home defense plan.
