Built around Beretta's BLINK gas system with a rotating bolt, the 1301 Tactical delivers rapid follow-up shots and dependable operation with 2 3/4 and 3 inch 12 gauge shells. The system is engineered for speed and reliability, making it well-suited to demanding use.
The 18.5 inch hammer-forged, back-bored barrel is constructed from steel and finished matte to reduce glare. Back-boring supports consistent patterns, while the durable hammer-forged process enhances barrel life and precision.
Sight alignment is fast and clear with the protected front post featuring a white dot and an adjustable ghost-ring rear housed in winged protection. A receiver-top Picatinny rail provides a solid mounting platform for compatible sighting solutions.
Controls and ergonomics are optimized with an oversized cylindrical charging handle and an enlarged bolt-release for positive manipulation. The synthetic stock includes a fixed configuration with molded checkering, a rubber recoil pad, and a rear sling swivel, paired with a synthetic forend for secure purchase. The cross-bolt safety is positioned for straightforward operation, and the standard flush magazine tube provides a 5+1 capacity.
The lightweight aluminum alloy receiver keeps overall weight manageable while maintaining durability. The shotgun wears a uniform black finish and carries factory markings including "BERETTA – GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY," "BERETTA USA CORP. ACCK, MD," and the IT16 mark, underscoring its Italian manufacture and quality control lineage.
