The heart of the 1301 Tactical is Beretta’s BLINK gas system, which uses a short-stroke piston and self-cleaning design to achieve exceptionally fast cycling. Paired with a factory one-piece 7-shot magazine tube that sits flush with the 18.5" muzzle, the shotgun arrives ready for defensive or competition roles without additional extensions.
The barrel is back-bored and fitted with a fixed Cylinder choke that patterns well with a variety of shot types. Ghost-ring sights ride on a MIL-STD-1913 rail for quick target acquisition and easy optic mounting, while a protected post front sight resists impact.
This example is outfitted with a Magpul MOE M-LOK forend and Magpul SGA-pattern buttstock—both lightweight polymer upgrades that add M-LOK accessory slots, integrated QD sling cups, and adjustable length of pull. A GG&G-style barrel clamp provides an additional QD sling cup and short accessory rail, keeping the setup streamlined and mission-ready.
Controls are enlarged for gloved use: the spiral-grooved charging handle, oversized bolt-release paddle, and cross-bolt safety promote intuitive operation. The hard-anodized 7075-T6 aluminum receiver keeps weight down while delivering strength, and CIP proof code “IT23” confirms 2023 proof and origin in Italy.
