Description
The Beretta A400 Xplor Action LH Bronze gives left-handed shooters a true mirror-image version of one of Beretta’s most popular field guns. Ejection, safety and stock are set up for lefties, and the gun pairs bronze metalwork with X-Tra Grain enhanced walnut for a classic look. This listing is Beretta model J40AW18L, UPC 082442733302 (Sports South item 97879).
Beretta A400 Xplor Action LH Bronze Overview
Most left-handed shooters make do with right-handed shotguns that throw empties across their face. On a dedicated left handed shotgun like this one, the ejection port is on the left side, so hulls fly away from you and your partner’s position is easier to manage in a blind. The A400 Xplor Action is designed as a lightweight, do-everything 12 gauge for upland, waterfowl over decoys and clays.
Blink Technology and the A400 Action
Beretta’s Blink technology lets the A400 cycle up to four shots in under a second, making it one of the fastest semi-auto actions available. The self-regulating gas system handles a wide range of 2-3/4 and 3 inch loads, from light target shells to heavy field loads, while spreading recoil for a softer feel.
Wood and Metal Details
With its bronze receiver and figured stock, this is a true walnut field shotgun. X-Tra Grain is Beretta’s process for enhancing the figure and durability of the walnut, so the stock looks richer than standard field wood. The bronze finish complements the wood and stands out from typical black field guns. A bead front sight and a two-position crossbolt safety keep things simple, and the Optima-Choke HP system gives you a range of constrictions for different game.

Before You Buy the Beretta A400 Xplor Action LH Bronze
Gas guns need routine cleaning of the piston and gas ports, especially after shooting dirty or heavy loads. Walnut and bronze look great but deserve a wipe-down after wet hunts. Spare parts and accessories for left-hand models are less common than for right-hand guns, so plan ahead if you want an extended choke set or a different stock. For migratory birds, install the magazine plug to limit capacity to three shells.
Fit and Handling
Because the stock is built for the left shoulder, the cast and comb line up with a lefty’s dominant eye without awkward adjustments. The gun mounts quickly and swings smoothly thanks to the balance of the 28-inch barrel, a length that suits both upland walks and clay courses. If you need to fine-tune fit, Beretta’s stock shim system can adjust drop and cast. Many owners say the Beretta A400 Xplor Action LH Bronze is the first shotgun that has felt natural to them, which pays off in faster, more confident shots.
Who It Is For
Left-handed upland hunters, duck hunters over decoys and clay shooters who want one attractive, fast-cycling 12 gauge will appreciate the Beretta A400 Xplor Action LH Bronze. It also makes a meaningful gift for a lefty who has spent years shooting a right-handed gun.
