The Beretta A400 Xplor Action is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun configured for left-handed shooters, with a gas-operated action, bronze-toned aluminum alloy receiver, and walnut stock with Xtra-Grain technology. At 6.70 lbs. with a 28" barrel and 3" chamber, it handles well for an all-day field gun. The left-hand configuration makes controls accessible without the awkward cross-body access common with right-hand designs.

Detailed Features 

The gas-operated system cycles a wide range of shells smoothly and reduces felt recoil compared to inertia systems. The Optima-Choke HP accepts interchangeable tubes (Cylindrical, Full, Modified) for pattern flexibility. The fiber optic front sight aids aiming in varied lighting. At 6.70 lbs., it's manageable through long field sessions.

The Beretta A400 Xplor LH is well-regarded by left-handed shooters who appreciate a purpose-built left-hand configuration rather than an adapted right-hand design. The ergonomics and comfortable handling are consistently cited, and the adjustable stock makes it fit a wider range of shooters.

The gas-operated recoil reduction system gets positive mentions for making extended shooting sessions more comfortable. Reliability across different loads and conditions is a common point of praise. The aesthetic, bronze receiver with walnut stock, gets good marks from owners.

Weight (6.70 lbs.) comes up occasionally as slightly heavier than expected after long hunts. Price is a recurring discussion point. Customer service experiences with Beretta have been variable, with some owners reporting smooth warranty interactions and others noting delays.
