Beretta AL391 Semi Auto

The Beretta AL391 is a semi-automatic shotgun. It is manufactured, marketed, and distributed by Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta, in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. The Beretta AL391 is mechanically similar to its predecessor, the AL390, but has a slimmer fore-end and a different shaped stock. It has an aluminum receiver, which reduces the weight of the gun. The magazine holds three rounds, providing a total capacity of four rounds, which can be reduced using a magazine plug. The gun has a magazine cut-off, which can be engaged to remove or replace a chambered shell without feeding a new round from the magazine. The AL391 has a self-compensating gas-driven recoil system. This lacks the mechanical simplicity of some other recoil systems. However, it provides the advantage of automatically adjusting for shot shells with different charges and therefore different amounts of recoil. It is designed to cycle the action reliably when using a wide variety of shells, while minimizing felt recoil.
