The heart of this 1301 Tactical is Beretta’s BLINK short-stroke gas system with a rotating bolt, paired to a full-length magazine tube and a front clamp for a 7+1 stated capacity. The action and controls are set up for confident handling, including an oversized cylindrical charging handle and an enlarged bolt release.
The 18.5 in Steelium steel barrel is marked 18.6 mm and is threaded for the Optima-Bore HP choke system. It arrives configured with a Patternmaster Code Black Duck extended ported choke for an extended constriction profile, and an additional Optima-Choke HP flush tube is included.
Sighting equipment is straightforward and durable: a receiver-top Picatinny rail carries an adjustable ghost-ring rear sight, while the front is a protected-post with wings. This setup provides clear alignment and resilience under hard use.
The stock is a fixed synthetic unit in light gray with a recoil pad and molded checkering, and includes length-of-pull spacer plates to fine-tune the 13.0 in LOP. The synthetic fore-end complements the receiver and stock for a uniform look and consistent grip.
Construction details include an alloy receiver with a light gray anodized finish and a uniform light gray treatment on metal and polymer components. The shotgun is Italian-made with CIP proof marks, an IT24 stamp, and a Beretta USA Corp., Gallatin TN importer mark.
