The Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol 12 gauge with 5+1 capacity is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun made for defensive and patrol roles (brand part no. J32CT511). Beretta gives it a 19.1-inch barrel with an Improved Cylinder choke and a 3-inch chamber. Ghost ring sights, a synthetic stock and an optic-ready receiver keep the layout quick to aim and easy to adapt. The five-round tube plus one in the chamber is the shorter-tube configuration, which keeps the gun compact and light in the hands. It is a practical choice for home defense, training classes and general-purpose use.
