Beretta Xtrema 2 A391 receiver LEFT HAND SAFETY
Beretta Xtrema 2 (A391) Complete Receiver, Left Hand Safety
So you’re a left-handed shooter tired of fighting a right-side safety button. This receiver fixes that. A genuine Beretta A391 Xtrema2 receiver, built with left hand safety configuration. This is a complete, serialized firearm.
This is the real Xtrema2 platform, released in 2005 to follow the original Xtrema. First, Beretta engineered this gun to fire everything from light 2-3/4 inch target loads through brutal 3-1/2 inch magnum shells, without any adjustment. Next, it uses a gas-operated system rather than inertia-driven cycling, specifically chosen for reliability across that wide shell range. Finally, the left hand safety configuration moves the safety button to the correct side for a left-handed shooter’s natural trigger hand position.
Is this Beretta Xtrema 2 A391 receiver LEFT HAND SAFETY a complete firearm?
Yes. So this matters before you order. This is a serialized Xtrema2 receiver, legally considered a firearm. Therefore, it ships only to your licensed FFL dealer, who handles the transfer. You cannot have this shipped directly to your home.
What makes this a left hand safety configuration?
Beretta Xtrema 2 A391 receiver LEFT HAND SAFETY Safety button placement, built for natural left-hand use. So the standard Xtrema2 places its round safety button at the front of the trigger guard, designed for right-handed operation. Therefore, a left hand safety version repositions or reconfigures that control for left-handed shooters, letting you disengage the safety naturally without breaking your grip or shifting your hand position.
Will standard Xtrema2 parts fit this receiver?
Beretta Xtrema 2 A391 receiver LEFT HAND SAFETY Most will, but always verify safety-related components specifically. So general parts like barrels, stocks, and forends typically interchange across standard and left-hand configured Xtrema2 receivers. However, the safety mechanism itself, along with any directly connected small parts, may differ between standard and left-hand versions. Therefore, confirm exact part compatibility before ordering safety-related components specifically.
What’s the difference between the Xtrema and Xtrema2?
Several refinements, including grip and trigger changes. So the Xtrema2’s pistol grip uses a more open radius than the original Xtrema, designed to fit better with a gloved hand. Also, Beretta reportedly improved the trigger mechanism on the Xtrema2 over the original. Therefore, a barrel built for the original Xtrema will not work on the Xtrema2, but a barrel built for the Xtrema2 will work on the original Xtrema.
Why does the Xtrema2 use an overbored barrel?
Reduced muzzle jump and better patterns. So the barrel is bored to 0.742 inches, wider than a standard 20 gauge, bore. Also, this overbore design is part of Beretta’s broader recoil-reduction approach on this platform, which the company states can reduce felt recoil at the shoulder by up to 44 percent when combined with the gun’s other recoil-mitigating features. Therefore, this receiver pairs with barrels engineered specifically around that wider bore dimension.

FAQ
Is this receiver a complete firearm requiring FFL transfer? Yes. This is a serialized receiver and must ship to a licensed FFL dealer for transfer.
Will a standard Xtrema2 barrel work with this left hand safety receiver? Generally yes, since barrel compatibility is tied to the Xtrema2 platform itself, not the safety configuration. Always verify with your specific barrel.
Can I use original Xtrema (not Xtrema2) barrels on this receiver? No. Barrels built for the original Xtrema do not work on the Xtrema2. However, Xtrema2 barrels are compatible with the original Xtrema.
What shell sizes can this gun handle? From 2-3/4 inch light target loads through 3-1/2 inch Super Magnum shells, without needing to adjust any settings.
Why would I want a left hand safety configuration? It repositions the safety control for natural use by left-handed shooters, avoiding the awkward reach required on a standard right-hand configured safety.

What’s the barrel bore diameter on Xtrema2-compatible barrels? 0.742 inches, an overbored design intended to reduce muzzle jump and improve shot patterns compared to a standard 12 gauge bore.
