About Beretta

Beretta is the oldest active firearms manufacturer in the world. The company traces its founding to 1526, when a document in Gardone Val Trompia recorded the sale of arquebus barrels by Bartolomeo Beretta — and the Beretta family has run the business without interruption ever since, through sixteen generations. Very few companies of any kind have survived that long. None of them make guns.

That continuity matters more than it sounds. Beretta has spent five hundred years refining the same disciplines: barrel steel, lockwork, balance, and the way a gun comes to the shoulder. It shows in a 686 that swings like it was fitted to you, in a 92 that runs when it's filthy, and in the fact that the M9 served as the standard sidearm of the United States armed forces for more than three decades after its adoption in 1985.

Beretta Shotguns

Shotguns are where Beretta's reputation was built, and the range covers everything from a first serious field gun to a competition piece you'll hand down.

Over/Under Shotguns — 686, 687, 690, 694

The 686 Silver Pigeon is arguably the most respected mid-priced over/under ever made — a gun that shows up at every sporting clays course and every dove field in America because it fits, it swings, and it lasts. Move up through the 687 Silver Pigeon III and 687 Diamond Pigeon for finer engraving and higher-grade wood, or step into the 694, Beretta's dedicated competition platform built for shooters who count every target. The Vittoria variants are stocked specifically for female shooters rather than simply shortened.

For traditionalists, the 486 Parallelo is a genuine round-action side-by-side — the classic English game gun profile, built in Italy.

Semi-Automatic Shotguns — A400 and A300

The A400 Xtreme is the waterfowl gun Beretta built to be abused: it cycles everything, it keeps running wet and dirty, and the Kick-Off recoil reduction system takes real punishment out of a long day of 3½-inch loads. The A400 Xcel is its competition sibling, tuned for clays. The A300 Ultima delivers the same Beretta gas system at a working-gun price, and the A300 Ultima Patrol brings it into the defensive world with a shorter barrel, ghost ring sights, and an enlarged loading port.

1301 Tactical

The 1301 Tactical is the fastest-cycling defensive shotgun on the market, and that isn't marketing — Beretta's BLINK gas system is rated at 36% faster cycling than competing designs, and split times are what convert people to it. The current 1301 Tactical C (Mod. 2) generation adds an M-LOK forend, a semi-flat tactical trigger, a redesigned Pro-Lifter, oversized controls, and a reversible safety. Available with pistol grip, fixed chisel stock, or side-folding chisel stock, in black, FDE, and OD green.

Beretta Pistols

The 92 Series

The 92 is one of the most recognizable handguns in the world and one of the most proven. The open-slide design that makes it distinctive also makes it exceptionally reliable in feeding and ejection, and the all-metal build gives it a recoil impulse that new shooters find genuinely easy to manage. The line now spans the classic 92FS, the decocker-only 92G, the modernized 92X and 92XI — including single-action-only competition configurations — and the 92GTS, the most recent evolution of the platform. The M9A1 and M9A4 carry the military lineage directly.

Carry and Concealment

The 80X Cheetah revives one of Beretta's most beloved designs in a modern, optic-ready .380 with a 13-round magazine — a genuinely soft-shooting carry gun with none of the snap most pocket .380s deliver. For deep concealment, the tip-up barrel 20X Bobcat (.22 LR) and 30X Tomcat (.32 ACP) let you load a chamber without racking a slide, which matters enormously for shooters with limited hand strength. Threaded-barrel versions are available for suppressor use.

Striker-Fired — APX

The APX and APX-A1 are Beretta's polymer striker-fired duty pistols, built around aggressive slide serrations, a modular chassis, and optics-ready slides.

Beretta Rifles

The BRX-1 is Beretta's straight-pull bolt action — a fast, ambidextrous hunting rifle with a switch-barrel design and a bolt throw that lets you stay on the scope through the cycle. The AX800 extends Beretta's semi-auto expertise into a modern sporting platform.

Why Buy Your Beretta from Osage County Guns

We stock Beretta in depth — shotguns, pistols, rifles, factory magazines, and parts — rather than carrying one or two SKUs and ordering the rest. Our listings carry real manufacturer specifications, not copied distributor boilerplate, so you know exactly what chamber, choke, thread pitch, and capacity you're buying before you order.

Every firearm ships to a licensed FFL of your choosing. If you're deciding between a 686 and a 687, an A400 Xtreme and an A300 Ultima, or a 1301 with a fixed versus folding stock, call us at 636-791-1655 — we shoot these guns, and we'd rather spend ten minutes getting you into the right one than process a return.

Beretta Frequently Asked Questions

How old is Beretta?

Beretta dates to 1526 and is the oldest active firearms manufacturer in the world. It has remained in the Beretta family for sixteen generations.

What is the difference between the 686 and 687 Silver Pigeon?

Both share the same proven Beretta over/under action. The 687 line steps up in engraving, wood grade, and finish detail over the 686. Mechanically they're closely related; the difference you're paying for is largely cosmetic refinement and hand-fitting.

What's the difference between the A400 and the A300?

The A400 is Beretta's flagship semi-auto with the more advanced gas system, Kick-Off recoil reduction on many models, and premium finishes. The A300 Ultima uses a proven Beretta gas action in a simpler, more affordable package. Both are excellent; the A400 does more, and the A300 costs less.

Is the Beretta 1301 Tactical worth it over a pump gun?

If speed matters, yes. Beretta rates the BLINK system at 36% faster cycling than competitors, and the 1301 has become the default choice in competitive shotgun sports for that reason. It also doesn't short-stroke under stress the way a pump can.

Do Beretta pistols come optic-ready?

Many current models do, including the 80X Cheetah, the 92X/92XI series in certain configurations, and the APX-A1. Check the individual product listing for optic-cut details and footprint.

Where are Beretta firearms made?

Beretta's historic home is Gardone Val Trompia in Italy's Brescia province, where the shotguns and many pistols are produced. Beretta also manufactures in the United States. Country of manufacture varies by model — check the individual product listing.
