The Beretta 1301 Tactical is a premier semi-automatic shotgun designed for law enforcement and home-defense applications. This model boasts enhanced features such as enlarged controls for superior handling, including an oversized charging handle, a highly textured bolt release, and a large reversible safety button. It is equipped with Beretta's advanced BLINK gas operating system, which features a cross tube gas piston enabling 36% faster cycling compared to competitors. The shotgun’s cold hammer-forged, back-bored barrel is engineered to minimize recoil and muzzle flip, enhancing shooting stability and accuracy. Additionally, the 1301 Tactical includes a robust ghost-ring sight system with an interchangeable front sight, allowing for adaptability in various conditions, and a versatile choke system with an OptimaBore HP Improved Cylinder. The factory 7+1 capacity magazine tube accommodates 2.75" shells, though shell length may affect capacity. The stock is adjustable for length-of-pull with spacers, and both drop and cast can be adjusted. For customization, the receiver features an aircraft-grade aluminum MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail for easy optic installation. Aggressive checkering on the forend ensures a secure grip, even when wearing gloves.
