The Beretta 1301 Tactical is a formidable entry in the realm of defensive shotguns, engineered for those who demand reliability and precision under pressure. With an overall length of just 37.8 inches, this semi-automatic gas-operated powerhouse boasts an impressive barrel length of 18 inches, ensuring optimal balance between maneuverability and accuracy.
Crafted with a robust receiver made from 7075-T6 aluminum, the shotgun's durability is matched by its lightweight construction at only 6.8 pounds unloaded. This makes it exceptionally manageable during rapid engagements or prolonged use. The black synthetic finish provides not only a sleek appearance but also resilience against harsh environmental conditions.
Designed with right-side ejection and equipped with a crossbolt oversized reversible safety mechanism, the firearm offers intuitive handling that caters to both left-handed and right-handed shooters alike. Its magazine holds up to seven rounds of powerful 12-gauge ammunition chambered for three-inch shells—ideal for defense scenarios where stopping power is paramount.
A standout feature includes its side-folding stock which aids in compact storage while maintaining readiness for immediate deployment when necessary. The length of pull measures at a comfortable thirteen inches, enhanced by a half-inch Microcore recoil pad that mitigates felt recoil without compromising control.
The trigger system on this model delivers consistent performance through its semi-flat tactical design—a testament to Beretta’s commitment to providing firearms capable of meeting any challenge head-on in high-stakes environments.
