Our Assessment: At its core, the Model 1301 Tactical is built around Beretta’s proven Blink gas-operating system, which allows it to cycle faster than other semi-automatic shotguns, a critical advantage in high-stress situations where rapid follow-up shots may be necessary. This system also helps in reducing felt recoil, making the shotgun more manageable and comfortable to shoot, especially important in tactical settings. The shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge, the most popular and versatile shotgun caliber, suitable for a wide range of ammunition types.
The design of the 1301 Tactical is focused on ease of use and quick handling. It features a relatively short barrel 18.6 inches, which, combined with an overall compact design, makes it highly maneuverable in confined spaces, a desirable trait for home defense or close-quarters tactical operations. Additionally, the shotgun comes equipped with a range of tactical features, including a ghost ring sight for rapid target acquisition, a picatinny rail for mounting optics, and an oversized charging handle and bolt release for easier operation under stress or when wearing gloves.
In summary, the Beretta Model 1301 Tactical 12GA stands out as a top-tier option for those seeking a reliable, fast-operating, and user-friendly semi-automatic shotgun. Whether for law enforcement, home defense, or tactical shooting enthusiasts, the 1301 Tactical offers the performance, durability, and quality expected from a brand like Beretta, making it a valued addition to any shooter’s arsenal.
