The Beretta 1301 Tactical Pistol Grip is a 12 Gauge semi-auto shotgun (Beretta part no. J131M2CTP187F) built for shooters who need the fastest possible follow-up shots. Beretta’s B-LINK gas operating system, with its cross-tube piston, cycles up to 36 percent faster than competing actions, while a new Pro-Lifter carrier makes reloads smoother under pressure. An aggressively knurled forend and pistol grip stock keep the gun locked in your hands, and three sections of M-LOK give you room to mount a light or laser exactly where you want it. Whether you’re a home defender, a competitor, or a working professional, this FDE-finished 1301 is built to run.
