The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol is a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun with a 19.1-inch barrel, 7-round capacity, and a black synthetic stock. At 7.1 lbs it's on the heavier side for a defensive shotgun, but that weight helps manage the recoil of 12 GA loads.

Features 

The semi-auto action cycles follow-up shots without any manual intervention, which is the main draw for defensive and competitive use. Ghost ring sights aid fast target acquisition in lower light. The synthetic stock holds up against moisture and rough handling without warping. The 19.1-inch barrel gives enough length for good patterns while staying manageable indoors.

• Hunting (upland game, waterfowl)

The A300 Ultima Patrol draws consistently favorable feedback from owners, with a few recurring caveats.

Reliability is the most frequent positive: the gun cycles a wide variety of 12 GA loads without issue, which matters when you're not hand-selecting ammunition for a defensive gun. Ergonomics also get good marks — the grip and adjustable stock fit a range of shooters comfortably, and most people don't report fatigue after extended range sessions.

Versatility comes up often too. Owners use it across home defense, competition, and hunting without major complaints, and the accessory ecosystem (lights, optics mounts, chokes) gives room to tailor the setup.

The sticking points: at 7.1 lbs, it's noticeably heavier than some competitors, and pricing lands toward the upper end of the semi-auto defensive shotgun market. Beretta customer service experiences are mixed — some owners report smooth warranty interactions, others describe frustrating waits for parts. Newer shooters occasionally need time to adjust to semi-auto operation compared to a pump, though that's a category-level consideration rather than a flaw specific to this gun.
