You can follow the links below to read the detailed three-part review of this gas-operated semi-automatic 12 gauge:<\/p> <p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-1301-tactical-peoples-shotgun-part-1\/\">Beretta 1301 Tactical: The People&#8217;s Shotgun, Part 1<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-1301-tactical-peoples-shotgun-part-2\/\">Beretta 1301 Tactical: The People&#8217;s Shotgun, Part 2<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-1301-tactical-update\/\">Beretta 1301 Tactical Update<\/a><\/strong><\/p> <p>Some of you might remember that I also had videos to go with those articles, but we actually had to take those down. It\u2019s kind of a complicated story, but the basic gist is that some of the topics I covered in those videos inadvertently raised questions about some very convoluted federal regulations involving imported firearms. So when we realized this, our attorneys decided we should play it safe and remove the videos rather than imply that we were offering any kind of legal advice.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6559\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1192\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301.jpg 1192w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301-600x316.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shooting-1301-350x184.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1192px) 100vw, 1192px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>So, with that out of the way, to get you up to speed on the 1301, it\u2019s an exceptional shotgun that\u2019s well-suited for a home-defense role and also a really fun range gun. It\u2019s lightweight, it has soft recoil, and best of all, it\u2019s super reliable. It\u2019s fed every kind of shell I\u2019ve put through it so far. Since the last review, I\u2019ve seen a few other 1301s at the range and in some classes, and their owners have been impressed with the reliability as well. Unlike a lot of semi-auto shotguns, this one seems to just work.<\/p> <p>The 1301 is perfectly adequate the way it comes from the factory, but if you plan to shoot it a lot and get really good with it, I think it could use a couple of tweaks for it to reach its full potential. Unfortunately, one of the problems I mentioned in my previous reviews is the lack of aftermarket accessories and modifications for this gun. But <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aridusindustries.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aridus Industries<\/a> is one small company that is doing more than anyone else to change that. Over the past year, they have sent me some of their products to review, and now that I\u2019ve had a chance to use them for a while, I wanted to show you guys what kind of improvements are available for the 1301.<\/p> <p>The first is this shrouded bolt latch. I actually covered this one in detail in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-1301-tactical-update\/\">third part of my review<\/a> last year. This is the one modification I would consider to be pretty much essential because it eliminates the only serious design flaw in the 1301. Basically, you press this latch to close the bolt, but with the factory latch, you can press the other end of it to unload the magazine tube. If you accidentally press it on that end when you\u2019re not actually trying to unload the gun, it ejects the shells onto the carrier and it won\u2019t feed until you clear the malfunction. So the Aridus shrouded latch basically disables that feature and makes it impossible to induce a malfunction that way. (If that&#8217;s confusing, it might make more sense if you watch the brief video embedded in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/beretta-1301-tactical-peoples-shotgun-part-2\/\">part 2<\/a> of last year&#8217;s review).<\/p><p><\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_6552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6552\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch.jpg\" alt=\"Aridus Industries Beretta 1301 shrouded latch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch-600x332.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch-1024x566.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch-768x424.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/aridus-latch-350x193.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aridus Industries shrouded bolt latch<\/figcaption><\/figure> <p>As an alternative, there is also a polymer shroud available from <a href=\"http:\/\/taudevgroup.com\/1301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tau Dev Group<\/a>.

It allows you to mount an Aimpoint Micro red dot optic and still have a full co-witness with the ghost ring iron sights. The 1301 comes with a serviceable polymer picatinny rail that works fine, but it forces you to mount the optics a bit high in relation to the iron sights and in relation to the comb height of the stock. So with the CROM, you can still use the irons and you can get a more consistent cheek weld on the stock. It\u2019s not something I\u2019d call a critical upgrade, but it\u2019s definitely nice to have if you want to run an Aimpoint on this shotgun. They also make one for Remington shotguns, and there may eventually be versions that will work with other types of red dot optics.<\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_6554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6554\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM.jpg\" alt=\"Aridus Beretta 1301 Co-Witness Ready Optic Mount (CROM)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/CROM-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Co-Witness Ready Optic Mount (CROM)<\/figcaption><\/figure> <p>This over here is the Aridus Quick Detach Shell Carrier. This is kind of the flagship Aridus product. What we\u2019ve got is basically an aluminum plate that mounts directly to the receiver and this polymer shell carrier locks into that plate. You just press this latch back here, and the shell carrier comes off and you can load more shells on the shotgun. Now, for most of us, this feature doesn\u2019t have much of a real-world application for a defensive shotgun, but it\u2019s really convenient to have on the range or in a shotgun class if you\u2019re running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/reload-defensive-shotgun\/\">some reload drills<\/a> and you don\u2019t want to have to stop every 30 seconds to refill your shell carrier.<\/p> <figure id=\"attachment_6555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6555\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier.jpg\" alt=\"Aridus QD Shell Carrier\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/shell-carrier-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aridus Quick-Detach Shell Carrier<\/figcaption><\/figure> <p>The other cool thing about this is the way it retains the shells in these loops. There\u2019s a little leaf spring inside each loop that holds the shells securely. So even if you want to carry your shells brass-down for easier reloading, you can shoot this gun all day and the recoil is not going to make the shells fall out, which is a common problem with other hard-sided shell carriers.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-5\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/springs-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>When people see this, the first thing they usually say is \u201cthat looks cool, what is that?\u201d and then the second thing they say is \u201cthat looks really heavy.\u201d Well, it\u2019s mostly aluminum and polymer, so it\u2019s actually not nearly as heavy as it looks. The whole thing without the shells weighs 7.8 ounces, which is about the same as the weight of 6-rounds of 00 buckshot. On a lightweight shotgun like the 1301, I don\u2019t think a fully loaded carrier noticeably detracts from the overall handling characteristics of the gun. The Aridus Quick Detach Shell Carrier is available for Remington and Mossberg shotguns, and the universal model I have on the Beretta here will fit on a variety of other shotguns.<\/p> <p>The last Aridus accessory is the one I\u2019m most excited about &#8212; the Magpul stock adapter. If you followed my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/category\/defensive-shotguns\/\">shotgun series<\/a> last year, you know I\u2019m a big fan of the Magpul shotgun stocks. Among other things, they let you have a really short length of pull, which is critical for effective recoil management in a 12 gauge. Currently, Magpul only makes their shotgun stocks for the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500 series, so Aridus came up with this little adapter that will allow you to attach the Mossberg Magpul stock to the Beretta 1301.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-6\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/stock-adapter-350x197.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>The Beretta factory stock is not bad. It\u2019s actually better than average for defensive shotguns, but the 13-inch length of pull is a little too long for the average person. Using the Magpul stock with all the spacers removed, the length of pull is now reduced by \u215d\u201d of an inch. Now, that doesn\u2019t sound like a lot, but when it comes to length of pull, every quarter inch is noticeable. For example, for me, when I would try to mount the 1301 from a high ready position with the factory stock, the rubber buttpad would get hung up on my shirt just about every time, so I had to actually adjust my technique to bring the shotgun out and away from my body so I could mount it. But with the Magpul stock, I can just bring it straight up and not worry it getting caught.<\/p> <p>I don&#8217;t typically go out of my way to highlight a specific company like this, but I\u2019m making an exception in the case of Aridus Industries, because, well, for a couple of reasons. First, they&#8217;re one of the only companies making stuff for what has become my favorite shotgun and if more people buy those products, they\u2019ll keep coming up with new ones I can try. But also, the firearms market is just flooded with low-quality parts and accessories designed by people who, frankly, barely know how to fire a gun, let alone how to actually make it better. So I wanted to bring attention to Aridus for making some well-thought-out high-quality products. If you&#8217;re looking for some ways to improve your already-excellent Beretta 1301 (or your Remington or Mossberg), take a look at Aridus Industries.<\/p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s back!
