The Beretta 1301 Tactical C Mod.2 12 Gauge Shotgun (Beretta part no. J131M2CTP187GR) is a purpose-built defensive and competition platform with an 18.5-inch barrel, a pistol-grip stock, and a 7+1 capacity. Made by Beretta, it runs Beretta’s B-Link gas operating system paired with a rotating bolt for fast, reliable cycling under hard use. An oversized, reversible crossbolt safety and a semi-flat tactical trigger with a crisp break and minimal reset keep the gun fast to run and easy to control for both left- and right-handed shooters. Three sections of M-Lok rail on the forend give plenty of room to mount a light or laser, and an aggressively knurled grip surface keeps hands locked on under recoil. Whether it is running a duty loadout, a 3-gun stage, or a home-defense role, this 1301 is built to perform.
