Description
The GG&G Beretta 1301 TAC side saddle puts backup ammo exactly where you need it. The 15-degree angle isn't just marketing talk—it works with the natural motion of your hand when reloading, whether you're topping off the mag tube or feeding the chamber. You can run shells base-up or base-down depending on your style.
Solid Rubber Design That Actually Stays Put
This is where the GG&G design separates itself from cheaper alternatives. Most side saddles use hollow rubber tube retainers that compress and distort from heat and shell pressure over time, causing rounds to gradually work loose. GG&G went with a solid rubber retainer instead, precision-molded to a specific durometer rating so it holds its shape for years. The difference matters when you're counting on gear to work under pressure.
No-Fuss Installation
The entire build mounts solidly using two points on the receiver. Hardware passes through the trigger group pin hole, and a GG&G-supplied steel end plate mounts between the back of the receiver and stock. That's it. No permanent modifications, no dremel work, no guessing if you did it right. The non-marring backing plate protects your receiver's finish from scratches.
Built for Real Use
The saddle is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with Type III hard anodized black per military spec. Ergonomic lightning cuts reduce weight without compromise. All edges are rounded for safety. It's made in the USA and backed by GG&G's lifetime warranty—if it fails due to manufacturing or material defect, they'll repair or replace it for free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install this side saddle myself without gunsmithing experience?
Absolutely. The mounting uses two points on the receiver—one through the existing trigger group pin hole and another using a GG&G-supplied steel end plate that slides between your receiver and stock. No permanent modifications needed. Most people describe installation as straightforward.
Will this work with the Mesa Tactical Urbino buttstock?
The standard version of this side saddle does not fit properly with the Mesa Tactical Urbino Stock installed. However, GG&G makes a separate sling-attachment version that is compatible with that setup if you need the combination.
What makes the solid rubber retainer better than other side saddles?
Hollow rubber tube retainers used on other saddles compress and distort from heat and repeated shell pressure over time, eventually causing rounds to loosen. GG&G's solid rubber retainer is precision-molded to a specific durometer reading, so it maintains its shape and keeps shells secure for years of use.
Can I run shells base-up or base-down in this holder?
Yes. The design allows you to orient shells either way depending on your preferred reloading technique, whether you're bottom-loading the magazine tube or top-feeding the chamber.
