On the occasion of the company's 500th anniversary, it's worth taking a wider look at how big Beretta truly is. Beretta Holding’s portfolio is so great, both in numbers and marquee value, the list speaks for itself. When it comes to introducing new or upgraded models and innovative solutions to changing tastes, these well-known affiliates are as proactive as any across the industry. Naturally their lineups change, but a shared continuity is obvious. Here’s a sampling from current catalogs:
Handguns—Beretta micros weighing under 16 ounces include the Bobcat and Tomcat families, variably offered in .22 LR, .25 ACP and .32 ACP with seven- or eight-round magazines. Handling the middle ground, the PX4 Storm series offers subcompact, compact and full-size variants known for reliability and ergonomics and for serving working pros with interchangeable parts. The top-tier duty gun newcomer, the Model 92G Elite Combat LTT, boasts a fiber-optic front sight, DLC-coated sear and hammer and 18+4-round magazine extensions. Affordable and reliable striker-fired designs abound in Beretta’s APX line, most of which are made in Gallatin, Tenn.
Shotguns—For budget-minded defenders, the U.S.-made Beretta A300 Ultima merges features like seven-shell capacity from a one-piece magazine tube, shrouded rear ghost-ring/front fiber-optic sights and a seven-slot accessory rail. The deluxe Benelli M4 EXT, with U.S.-made parts like its seven-round magazine and telescoping buttstock, qualifies for import under reformed regs.
Another for the watch list is the M4 A.I. Drone Guardian, bearing an extended-forcing-cone barrel designed to boost the ballistic reach of high-performance tungsten shot charges. Trap and skeet fans have seen recent championships dominated by Beretta’s DT-11s, but may be curious about the pricier, new, ultra-adjustable SL2, which some expect to be a force on the world stage. A bookend on the hunting side could be the AX800, which Beretta calls “the most advanced waterfowl shotgun we’ve ever built.” Let’s see how it fares alongside duck-blind MVPs like the Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 and Beretta’s A400 Xtreme.
On the double gun front, claybusters and hunters can appreciate upgrades to the classic 687 Silver Pigeon I, now with a double-forcing-cone Steelium barrel that throws dense patterns with all loads.
Rifles—Beretta’s Euro-style BRX straight-pull runs fast and shoots straight, according to a test report in NRA’s American Hunter. Owners can reset length-of-pull and change the grip on its ambidextrous stock. The Franchi MULE is a tough-looking carbine in the scout/ranch style that’s geared for marathon carry and bug-out versatility. A long-range-precision heavyweight at 12.5 pounds, the chassis-based Sako TRG 22 A1 is engineered for rock-solid accuracy in ugly conditions. Sako also offers its 90 series, the latest hunting-rifle lineup from the Finnish brand, while sister company Tikka has its T3x Ace Target, which won American Rifleman’s 2026 Golden Bullseye Award for Rifle of the Year.
