Beretta 1301 Tactical Enhanced Gen 2 12 Ga Semi-Auto Shotgun – 18.5" BLINK Gas System, 7+1, Vortex Razor Red-Dot Included
The Beretta 1301 Tactical Enhanced Gen 2 pairs combat-proven engineering with modern upgrades that matter to serious shooters. Its BLINK short-stroke gas piston cycles fast and clean, the extended 7-round magazine sits flush with the 18.5-inch muzzle, and factory ghost-ring sights are topped with an installed Vortex Razor 3 MOA red-dot. Light, maneuverable, and ready out of the box, this recent-production Italian 12 gauge is configured for dependable defensive use.

The BLINK annular-piston gas system drives exceptionally fast follow-up shots while remaining soft-shooting with either 2 3/4-inch or 3-inch shells. Its short-stroke design keeps fouling forward of the action and promotes reliable cycling across a wide load range.
An 18.5-inch chrome-lined, cold-hammer-forged steel barrel is back-bored to Beretta’s Optima-Bore HP dimensions and finished with a true cylinder (CYL) bore. The flush-fit magazine extension yields a full 7+1 capacity without protruding past the muzzle.
Controls are oversized for confident manipulation under stress: an enlarged, spiral-fluted charging handle, an extended bolt-release paddle, and a reversible cross-bolt safety. The 13-inch length of pull polymer stock wears a Beretta recoil pad that tames 12-gauge recoil without adding bulk.
The lightweight aluminum-alloy receiver features a matte-black finish, integral Picatinny rail, and factory drilling for side-saddle accessories. A polymer M-LOK forend with a QD-sling-socket barrel clamp supports lights or accessories without extra weight.
CIP “S” proofs and the Italian “IT24” date code confirm 2024 manufacture, and Beretta part number J131TT18N identifies this as the latest Enhanced Gen 2 release.
