Special Features

• The B-Link gas-operated system cycles 36 percent faster than competing semi-auto actions and runs reliably across every load from light field shells to 3.5-inch steel, bismuth, and HP steel waterfowl rounds
• Kick-Off Mega and Kick-Off 3 hydraulic stock dampeners absorb force during firing, letting the shooter stay on target and maintain pace through high-volume decoying bird scenarios
• The soft comb on the stock further reduces pressure at the cheek during sustained shooting sessions
• Steelium Plus barrels are cold hammer forged from tri-alloy steel with a 320mm triple forcing cone, producing consistent, uniform shot patterns with both lead and steel ammunition
• Aqua Tech Shield coating protects the synthetic stock and receiver finish against moisture, mud, and temperature swings common in blind and marsh hunting conditions
• The extended charging handle and enlarged bolt release allow for fast, positive manipulation even with heavy gloves in cold weather
• An enlarged loading port speeds up loading during fast bird action without removing attention from the sky
• The reversible crossbolt safety accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters without modification

Practical Benefits

• The 3.5-inch chamber means you can run the full range of waterfowl ammunition without changing guns, from early-season teal loads to late-season long-range steel
• Five included extended chokes let you match your pattern to the distance of incoming birds, covering everything from close decoy shots to passing geese at range
• The Mossy Oak Original Bottomland pattern blends into flooded timber, marsh grass, and early-season fields across a wide variety of hunting environments
• The gas system handles mixed loads in the same hunt without adjustment, which keeps you focused on the birds rather than the gun
• Whether you hunt from a pit blind, a layout boat, or an open field, the A400 Xtreme Plus (J42XL18) adapts to the conditions and the load selection you need for that day
• If you are a serious waterfowl hunter who puts hundreds of shells downrange each season, the Kick-Off system and Steelium Plus barrel give you a gun you can shoot all day and clean in minutes

The Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus (J42XL18) in 12 gauge is a proven platform for the dedicated waterfowl hunter who needs a high-cycling, all-weather semi-automatic that performs from the first shell to the last.
