Over the last few years, the Beretta 1301 has become the go-to tactical shotgun on the market, with its sights set on the throne to replace the coveted Benelli M4. The 1301 from Beretta offers excellent performance, reliability, and the fastest operating system on the market, known as the B-Link Gas System. This shotgun offers the complete package and can handle whatever you throw at it. Beretta is proud to introduce the next evolution of the 1301–the 1301 Tactical Mod 2.

The Mod 2 seeks to refine the 1301 Tactical even more with thoughtful design choices that enhance the end-user experience when operating the shotgun. The new 1301 features an improved forend with aggressive knurling to promote a firm grip of the support hand and M-Lok slots for mounting accessories. The Pro-Lifter and beveled loading port aid in quick and efficient reloads. A new semi-flat face trigger offers a clean and crisp break with a short tactile reset. The B-Link Gas System combined with the rotating bolt ensures a fast, efficient, and reliable shotgun under the most adverse conditions. The new 1301 will be available in Black, FDE, OD Green, and Gray with a 7+1 capacity.
