Description

There is a reason the 1301 keeps coming up whenever people talk about serious defensive shotguns. Beretta built its reputation on this platform with military and law enforcement contracts around the world, and the Tactical Mod 2 is the most refined version yet. This one wears a Flat Dark Earth synthetic pistol grip stock, an 18.5 inch cold hammer forged barrel, and a 7+1 extended magazine tube, so you get real capacity without the gun feeling like a boat oar. Overall length sits right around 37.8 inches and it weighs in the neighborhood of 6.7 pounds, which makes it quick to move through a hallway or run on a stage.

What the Mod 2 Update Brings to the 1301 Tactical

The heart of the gun is the B-LINK gas system, which Beretta claims cycles up to 36 percent faster than competing autoloaders. In practice that means soft, flat shooting and follow-up shots that come back on target in a hurry. The Mod 2 refresh added the stuff owners had been asking for: an updated forend with aggressive knurling and three M-LOK sections for a weapon light, a redesigned Pro-Lifter that takes the thumb pinch out of fast reloads, and a semi-flat tactical trigger with a crisp break and short reset. Controls are oversized across the board, from the charging handle to the bolt release to the reversible safety, so everything works with gloves on or under stress.

Sights, Chokes, and Setup on the 1301 Mod 2 FDE

Aiming is handled by a ghost ring rear and blade front, and there is a Picatinny rail on the receiver if you want to drop a red dot on it. The Optima Bore HP barrel takes interchangeable OCHP chokes and ships with a flush-mount tube installed, so you can tighten or open your patterns depending on the load you settle on. Between the capacity, the FDE finish, and the pistol grip setup, this configuration is a strong pick for home defense, duty use, or anyone who wants a semi-auto scattergun that needs nothing added before its first range trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Mod 2 different from the original 1301 Tactical?

The Mod 2 addresses the most common requests from earlier 1301 owners. It adds a knurled forend with three M-LOK sections, a redesigned Pro-Lifter that eliminates thumb pinch during reloads, a semi-flat tactical trigger with a shorter reset, a reversible safety, and a threaded barrel that accepts interchangeable OCHP chokes instead of a fixed bore.

Can I mount a red dot on the Beretta 1301 Tactical Mod 2?

Yes. The receiver comes with a Picatinny rail on top, so mounting a red dot is simple and requires no gunsmithing. The factory ghost ring rear and blade front sights are sturdy and work well on their own if you prefer irons.

Will the 1301 Tactical Mod 2 cycle low-recoil defensive loads?

The B-LINK gas system has a strong track record of running a wide range of ammunition, from light target loads up to 3 inch magnums. Most reduced-recoil buckshot and slug loads cycle without issue, though it is always smart to pattern and function test your chosen defensive load before relying on it.

Does this FDE model come with a pistol grip stock?

Yes, this configuration ships with a Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock with an integrated pistol grip. Combined with the 7+1 extended magazine tube and 18.5 inch barrel, it is set up from the factory for defensive and duty-style use.
