I just had my Beretta A400 20 gauge 26" barrel delivered and thought actual weights and measures might be interesting instead of the "average" data sometimes cited on the internet.
On my postal scale the shotgun weighs 5 pounds 11.3 ounces.
It does indeed have a 14.25 inch Length of Pull. It seems to fit me, which is a surprise because I prefer 13.75". I doubt I will have the stock length cut. This compares to my old Beretta 686 over-and-under 20 gauge at six pounds 3 oz.
Unloaded, it balances right at the receiver/forearm join. I find that delightful as I dislike muzzle-heavy balance.
I haven't fired or even taken a pic yet, but I'll post it when I do.
I have managed to remove the bolt charging handle, de-grease it, then lubricate it, however. I'll de-grease the trigger next.
This will be used for both hunting and clay shooting.
