Built around Beretta's gas-operated B-Link system, this 1301 Tactical delivers fast cycling with 12 gauge loads in both 2 3/4 in and 3 in shells. The tubular magazine is set up with a barrel/magazine clamp and a 7-round capacity, pairing quick handling with practical capacity.
The 18.5 in steel barrel uses Beretta's Optima-Bore 18.6 mm profile and a fixed C choke, providing true Cylinder constriction for duty or defensive roles. Sighting is straightforward and durable with a ghost-ring rear and a protected front post.
Controls are designed for confident operation under stress, including an oversized charging handle and an enlarged bolt-release paddle. The receiver is anodized aluminum and includes an integral MIL-STD-1913 top rail.
Quality furniture upgrades enhance ergonomics: the Mesa Tactical Urbino pistol-grip stock offers an adjustable cheek riser and a short 12.5 in length of pull, while the Midwest Industries M-LOK handguard adds modern accessory mounting with an installed M-LOK hand stop. A loop-side Velcro panel on the receiver is installed for use with shell cards, providing fast access to spare ammunition.
Manufactured in Italy with CIP proof marks and an IT23 code, this shotgun bears the Beretta USA Corp., Gallatin TN import mark. Matching serial numbers on the receiver and bolt add an extra note of completeness for buyers who value component uniformity.
