The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus KO 12 Ga 28'' Semi-Auto Shotgun is a premium gas-operated waterfowl and field shotgun engineered for all-day comfort and reliable performance in demanding conditions.This model features a 28-inch Steelium Plus barrel with Optima Bore HP and an extended forcing cone. It delivers consistently tight, uniform shot patterns across a wide range of loads, from light target rounds to heavy 3½-inch magnum shells. The 7x7 stepped ventilated rib with a fiber optic front sight and steel mid-bead provides a quick, clear sight picture in low-light or adverse weather.Advanced Recoil ReductionThe standout Kick-Off (KO) Plus recoil reduction system combines hydraulic buffers in the stock with a B-Steady system and an Extralight recoil pad. It dramatically softens felt recoil and muzzle rise, making even heavy 3½" loads manageable for extended shooting sessions without fatigue. A soft comb insert further protects the shooter's cheek. Reviewers consistently praise it as one of the softest-shooting semi-autos available.Ergonomics and Handling
