Saw two for sale in Sevierville, a black and a grey one. Handed them for a bit and doomed myself to buy one. They were priced 999 for the black and 899 for the grey.

Seems to be a great price for the grey. Most online retailers have them for $950.00 - $1,000.00 and constantly out of stock. Haven't found a stocking dealer locally.

Looks like a great gun. I'm not interested only because I already own a 1201FP. It kicks like a mule because it is very light and it is inertia recoil, but it has also been 100% reliable and the light weight is a good thing for carrying.

I also have an AL390 and AL391 field guns. These are gas operated and soft shooters. Very reliable too.

Looking forward to testing one out. It checks all the boxes for me, now I just need to see one in the wild

I love Beretta shotguns. I have a couple 390s And an A400
I have the Benelli M4 but it's a lot heavier than this gun
I like the Patrol model a lot

Added a Magpul QD sling in Wolf Gray, Aimpoint Acro P2 and Reptilia mount.
Makes for a nice complement to my 1301 Tactical Marine

Great looking gun, congrats!
Was it at your LGS or online somewhere?

Online. No deals to be had on the tiger striped ones....not even Beretta employees could buy them

Got one in gray on order from Palmetto State Armory

Took delivery today. Won't get a chance to shoot it for a bit, but here's what I know so far:

The choke is indeed interchangeable, but mine only came with IC installed and no extras.

Won't have much use for the forward sling adapter, and am thinking of just taking it off and storing it. Looks like a weak link to me.

No user's manual included - you have to view or download if from Beretta.com. Maybe that's how things have been for a while with everybody, but it's new to me and I would rather get a physical copy with the gun.

Range report to follow.

So nize! Selling my body parts on the black market to buy one. Think I want the grey or black multicam.

I love tactical shotguns! I own the Beretta 1301 Tactical, Beretta A300 Ultima Tactical and I just added a Mossberg 940 Tactical. All three are great shotguns!

Great choice. We FINALLY had one of the Patrols come into the shop recently, after continually prodding and badgering our Beretta rep for them. Seems very well built, with only a minor fitting issue with the stock to the receiver that I would chalk up to the mad rush of getting these out into dealers' hands. Feels a LOT like the more expensive 1301 Tactical; if this had been available when I bought my 1301 I'm not so sure that I would've went with the pricier Beretta. Although it should be noted that after discounting inflation, supply chain excuses and pandemics, once upon a time not that long ago the 1301 Tactical used to price out for less than what the supposedly lesser Patrol now is offered up for.

Still, given the current company that these tactical A300s compete with, it does seem like it's a darn good bargain.

Is taking everything apart to clean this gas system really necessary every time, or can one just spray some scrubber from the receiver end and follow with a bore snake every couple hundred rounds? I mean, it is described as a self cleaning piston after all.

I ask because while it isn't too bad to field strip, there are some aspects that are fiddly. Not Ruger MKII level, but getting there.

Ordered one through Sportsman’s Whse, should get it 5/10, unless that date gets bumped.

I just had the opportunity to shoot one of these last Friday. Beretta had a booth at Reed’s Gun Fair in MN. Was a blast shooting at silhouettes and clays. Very smooth, well balanced and love the controls. It’s definitely been added to the list!

We had one of the A300 Patrols in black at the shop very briefly last week. I'm not a huge shotgun guy, but I really like the Berettas so I bought a 1301 Comp a couple years back. Although the A300 patrol was a good looking gun I didn't see the need to get one since I already had the 1301, but now that I see the tiger stripe one I might need to add it to the collection. PGT's shotgun is sexy

Any modification needed for that that Reptila mount or does it just replace the rail section?

swaps right on; designed for this platform and Beretta showed it on their SHOT Show demo guns

Looks super clean. I really like the ACRO and Steiner MPS on shotguns.
Vang Comp makes a mount for these optics for the 870 but it is not nearly as clean looking.
