Overview
The Italian made 1996 Beretta ES 100 Pintail 12 Gauge 24" is a rugged, highly reliable semi-automatic shotgun known for its use of an inertia-driven system. Praised for handling harsh weather and cycling flawlessly with minimal maintenance, its fast-pointing shorter barrel makes it a favorite for upland hunting and dense brush. 

Key Specifications & Features

• Action: Inertia-driven system (offers quick cycling and requires less maintenance than traditional gas systems).
• Gauge: 12 Gauge (handles up to 3" shells).
• Barrel Length: 24" (often configured as an upland/brush or turkey gun).
• Chokes: Accepts Beretta Mobilchoke tubes.
• Weight: ~7 lbs (lighter than many gas-operated counterparts). 

Performance & Handling

• Reliability: Because it uses an inertia system, it operates very cleanly and cycles tens of thousands of rounds without fail, even in muddy or freezing conditions.
• Recoil: Felt recoil is very manageable—often praised as being noticeably softer shooting than many competing inertia guns of its era. 
• Handling: The 24" barrel variant is incredibly fast to the shoulder, making it ideal for quick target acquisition in thick cover, though it may feel slightly more "whippy" compared to longer 28" or 30" models.
• Durability: The stocks on the Pintail can take immense amounts of abuse, making it the ultimate "foul-weather" field gun. 

Pricing & Market Value
Used models in good condition currently fetch anywhere from $400 to $800, depending heavily on the stock condition (wood vs. synthetic) and whether it includes additional barrels (like a rifled slug barrel). Parts availability (like the occasionally needed recoil spring) is generally still well supported. [1, 2, 3]
