Beretta A400 Xcel – Engineered for Speed, Built for Victory

The Beretta A400 Xcel is the gold standard in semi-automatic competition shotguns, combining advanced engineering, peak performance, and classic Italian style. Engineered specifically for competitive clay shooting, this shotgun delivers lightning-fast cycling, minimal recoil, and championship-winning reliability. Whether trap, skeet, or sporting clays, the A400 Xcel is your partner in the field.

With its unique Blue anodized receiver, Blink gas system, and Kick-Off recoil reduction, the A400 Xcel unites looks, comfort, and high-speed performance in a shotgun that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Blink Gas Operating System – Up to 36% Faster Cycling

The heart of the A400 Xcel is Beretta’s patented Blink gas system, which cycles four shots in under one second. That is an advantage in timed competition and high-volume shooting. Compared to traditional semi-auto systems, Blink is not only faster—it’s cleaner and more efficient, with less fouling and smoother cycling during heavy use.

Beretta’s unique Kick-Off system utilizes hydraulic dampeners in the stock to reduce felt recoil by up to 70%, keeping you on target longer and reducing fatigue. This makes the A400 Xcel perfect for extended shooting sessions, high-volume training, or competition days when comfort matters.beretta a400 xcel blue

With its wide rib, high visibility front sight, and adjustable balance system, the A400 Xcel is built for precision on the clays range. It’s available in several barrel lengths—26″, 28″, and 30″—to suit your discipline and shooting style.
