It will never cease to amaze me that Beretta is almost 500 years old and still shucking! They have designed some of the coolest and innovative firearms ever! Where would the gun world be without them? I dont dare know. Wonderful video, and thanks for sharing!

@thatoneguy454c Жыл бұрын

Shotguns are hands down awesome. They are so versatile and are very good at instilling confidence that they will get the job done. They are also extremely demoralizing if you are on the receiving end. You hear a thunderous boom as a fist-sized hole manifests itself in your buddies torso or worst case your own torso. Some people say that shotguns are not good weapons in the modern day, I say those people are idiots.

@stevem4783 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Especially in a home defense scenario, at 7-15m (where nearly all encounters happen,) the size of the damage is so much more effective and forgiving with a shotgun than a typical home defense weapon (say, 9mm handgun/carbine or a .300BLK AR.) I'd much rather fire one powerful shot that'll likely get the job done than try to keep 5-8 rounds center mass rapidly in a high-stress situation. If you're running a pump, the sound of the rack alone will probably make someone turn and run. If you have a semi, well...good luck to the intruder with those 56-ish pellets rapidly heading their way.

Shotguns are awesome in their role but I will take an AR if I can only have one choice.because of increased range of lethality a shotgun is good for 100yds realistically anything over that it’s pretty useless also capacity is a huge down side as well as ease of reloading.

Someone suggested the Beretta A300 patrol tactical and after watching your video I was sold! Went and purchased one. The price is good, it fits like a glove for me and I am really excited to try it out at the range. I also like how you provide how to break it down and clean. Thanks for your expertise.

For months I was set on a Mossberg 590A1 as my first shotgun and kind of ruled out semi-autos because of the higher cost but that was before I found the A300 Ultima Patrol, the 590A1s I was looking at and were available were already pushing $800 from where I'd be getting it from and sure it's still another $200 but I think it'll be worth it so I ordered one this morning.

I just bought the Patrol last week and sighted in the ghost sights out to 50yds on slugs and 15 on buckshot, they were dead on out of the box. I ordered the HOLOSUN 507C and sighted in the same way, dead center at 25 yds and 1 inch low at 50 yards out of the box no adj., this Patrol is excellent for HD and SHTF its lightweight, recoil is great compared to my 870/500 pumps and my remington 11 riot and with xtra velcro cards it is a serious weapon for any problem.

Love the channel! This review helped me make the decision to buy the A300 UP, when I opened the box, it didn't come with the choke tube, choke wrench, 2 additional pads, or the velcro. Just the shotgun itself. I called Beretta this morning and spoke with customer service. They confirmed that they aren't shipping any of that extra stuff anymore. Still excited for this gun but feel a bit nickel and dimed for having to buy their choke tube in addition to this shotgun. Customer service guy was really cool and apologetic. Not much he could do but did help me with a discount on the choke tube I ordered with him.
