Description
The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge 19.1in Gray is a purpose-built defensive semi-auto that dials back recoil without dialing back reliability. Chambered in 20 gauge, this patrol shotgun keeps the proven A300 gas system and adds enlarged controls, an open loading port, and a slimmed forend with aggressive texturing and M-LOK slots. The gray synthetic stock has a shortened length of pull and integrated QD sling attachments, making it ready for serious work right out of the box.

Key Features
- Enlarged Controls – The bolt release, bolt handle, and safety are all oversized for gloved or fumbled-hand operation. Why it matters: under stress, every fraction of a second counts and these controls let you run the gun without fine motor fiddling.
- Enhanced Loading Port – The port is opened up and beveled for quicker, more positive quad-loading. Why it matters: faster reloads mean more rounds on target when the fight is on.
- Slimmed Forend with M-LOK – The forend is contoured for a solid grip and includes multiple M-LOK slots for lights, lasers, or foregrips. Why it matters: you can mount the accessories you need without adding bulky rails or losing hand real estate.
- Shortened Length of Pull – The gray synthetic stock measures 13.75″ LOP with a slim profile and integrated QD cups. Why it matters: a shorter LOP improves mounting speed and maneuverability in tight spaces, especially for smaller shooters or heavy clothing.
- 20 Gauge Recoil Reduction – The A300 gas system tames 20 gauge loads even further, making it one of the softest-shooting defensive shotguns available. Why it matters: less recoil means faster follow-up shots and less flinch training, especially for newer shooters or those with smaller frames.
Who It’s For
The A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge is built for home defenders, patrol officers, and competition shooters who want a lighter-recoiling alternative to 12 gauge without sacrificing reliability or capacity. It’s also ideal for smaller-statured shooters, women, and anyone who needs to run a shotgun fast in confined spaces. If you train hard and expect your gear to keep up, this gun is for you.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Extremely soft recoil, enlarged controls for gloved use, M-LOK forend for lights/lasers, integrated QD sling mounts, reliable gas system with minimal cleaning needed, 20 gauge still delivers solid defensive performance with modern buckshot loads.
Cons: The 20 gauge shell selection for defense is smaller than 12 gauge – you’ll need to test a few loads to find what cycles best. Also, the gray synthetic stock may not match everyone’s aesthetic preference for all-black tactical gear.

FAQ
Is the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge reliable with light target loads?
Yes. The A300 gas system is designed to cycle a wide range of loads, including light 2-3/4″ target shells. We recommend a 50-round break-in with high-brass defensive loads first, then it will run most anything.
Can I mount a light on the A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge?
Absolutely. The slimmed forend has multiple M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, so you can mount a weapon light, laser, or foregrip directly without adapter rails.
What is the length of pull on the A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge?
Per Beretta specs, the LOP is 13.75″ on the gray synthetic stock. That’s shorter than most standard shotguns, making it easier to mount quickly and maneuver in tight spaces.
Does the A300 Ultima Patrol 20 Gauge come with choke tubes?
No. This model ships with a fixed cylinder bore choke, which is ideal for defensive buckshot and slug use. No choke tubes are included.
