A300 Ultima Patrol

So, I can't say much on account of NDAs and stuff, but I cleared this with Beretta before posting. They're coming out with a new semi-auto tactical shotgun at SHOT, one that we along with several other end-users had some input upon. The sharp-eyed among you will notice a few differences from what you've seen before, and perhaps may garner some clues from what they asked me to hide as well as what they allowed me to show. The gun shot and ran well, and Logan (their PM for shotguns) won the end-of-class shoot-off with it, against some very skilled shooters. The fact that Beretta is sending their people to classes is a very encouraging sign in and of itself. Keep an eye on their social media around SHOT for some more info.

I know I'm heavily biased here, but this one is 100% going to cost me money. I ran an earlier prototype at FPF's Shotgun Skills course, and that just cemented it. I don't buy every gun I've worked on, but this one I'll probably buy 2.

This one could be hiding behind the redacted box but that can't be right.

My guess is a more affordable tactical shotgun from Beretta.

I think it was in the TFB TV video with Beretta's GM this possibility was mentioned. Something like an A300 tactical.

What a tease!!! That pic is like trying to watch scrambled porn as a kid in the 80’s. What is it?!?!? A pump gun? Any clues?

My guess:

1) New top mount for optics

2) New handguard to allow light and sling mounts. That sling is attached to something, and it isn't the barrel clamp.

An inertia action sourced from Turkey?

Front sight looks different than my 1301T G2.5...the protective wings are shaped slightly different and I don't see the nut that secures the sight post.

My guess:

1) New top mount for optics

2) New handguard to allow light and sling mounts. That sling is attached to something, and it isn't the barrel clamp.

Based on how twisted up the sling is, I’d say some sort of QD attachment?

We don't do that here. We leave inertia to our sister companies.
