Beretta A400 Xplor Action 20ga Shotgun w/ Kick-Off – J40AY28

We bought this for my wife to use when we shoot trap and sporting clays together. The 12 guage she was using was using just beat her up too much even with light loads. The A400 is the first shotgun that she's held where she said, "I like it and want it." I don't know how Beretta does it but this gun stays really clean even after a few hundred plus rounds. Recoil is non existent with the kick off. I want one now too. 12 guage of course. I love the way it shoulders and points. I started to pattern it. The mod choke using 7/8 ounce ultra clays was disappointing at its best. I ran out of time so didn't get to try the other chokes or different brands of ammo. I'll report back after further testing. Once the xplor was broken in it cycled perfectly with light loads. It looks great and just feels right.

Got this gun in a 20ga. – between being a 20ga and having the kick-off pad, you might think you were using someone else’s shoulder to shoot it. Shot 200 rounds after an initial cleaning, and not one problem.

I have used this gun for two seasons now. It is an amazing gun. the recoil is so minimal it's crazy. super light weight and a dream to carry all day for pheasants. best gun I've ever owned.

I'm a little disappointed with this gun. I shot 250 rounds of 1300 fps 7/8 shot thru this and it jammed frequently. I found some heavier 1oz shot and put thru 2 boxes of that. Still jamming a couple of time. Went back to 7/8, jammed like crazy. Went back to bass pro, they sent it back to Beretta. It came back with no explanation but i could see they machined the gas vent a little. The charging handle had also scored up the bronze finish already. After two weeks i got the gun back from Beretta. (Bass Pro in Auburn, NY did a nice job taking care of this for me) I used it for sporting clays. About half way (25 shots) the jamming commenced again. Usually the shell didn't eject and the second shell is also trying to get into the breech. I've probably stripped this gun 6 times, fully cleaned and lubed it extensively. It shoot nice. I adjusted the stock to suit me. I like a 60/40 pattern. Its an effective clay gun. Slightly whippy. The recoil on the 7/8 is nice. When using the heavier rounds it still kicks due to its light weight. I am hoping that the jamming stops. I plan to try another few rounds of clays, more heavier shells before giving in. I have other Beretta's they all work nice...except this one!

I bought the 20G A400 after my shoulder surgery, this gun is a smooth as silk, love using it for hunting and clay. The one thing I hate is cycling, it jams quite often . It does fine with with most 1 oz shots.

I already own the A400 extreme plus and love it. I bought this one because my 12 year old daughter is getting into bird hunting with me. I wanted to buy a gun I know will last her for years and won’t beat her up. First time out she hit 17-25 clays and didn’t make her shoulder sore at all and didn’t fatigue her too much because it weighs very little, about 5 pounds. I took it out myself on opening day of forest grouse and Packed it around all day and enjoyed the lightness of it. Very little recoil because of the kick-off system. This will be a great addition to my shotgun collection

I purchased this gun in 12 and 20 gauge and could not be happier I own many Beretta auto's, ranging from the SL2, A 303, A351 and now the A400's. They are all " my favorite gun". You just cant find a better shooting, reliable automatic.

After weeks of searching, I found this on line & it shipped quick to my local store. Bought this for a clay gun for my family. Fit & Finish are perfect. Runs perfect.

Great gun! Had an issue with shipping that was on UPS and the AK store that shipped it was very helpful wish I could say the same for the online customer service. But the gun itself is great!
