Beretta 1301 Tactical

[DocGKR]

I have gotten rid of my 18" in favor of the 21"...

Doc - can you clarify what spurred that?

I would like to have the 1301 competition in 18" with bead rather than the tactical with ghost rings. Stick a long tube on for 3G or shorter tube for HD. It would be my do all SG.

One of my best friends wanted a 1301 and I had 3 of them; the one I used least often was the 18", so off it went...

I wonder if they are going with the large bolt release button? Has anyone here run the gun with the smaller TX4 button yet ?

I cleaned my 1301 tactical today and noticed this wear point on the under side of the mag tube it felt like something is cutting into it . Is this normal?

I hope not........

OK 1301 owners, I'm interested in getting a tactical 18.5", coming from an SLP for about the last ten years, benelli guy before that.
The only think giving me the slightest reservation is all the hype about the recoil, simply put is it even a concern I should have or
is it a non issue?, I'm not a small guy.

What recoil? The 1301 feels very soft shooting for me, especially compared to an 870 or Benelli M1/M2.

Figured as much, well I guess I'll be taking the plunge very soon.

Any ideas on light attachment methods? The other choice I was looking at is the Remmy R12
which has 2 pic rail attachment points built in but the beretta is slick, I'm using the factory
quad rail sleeve on my SLP that basically slips over the mag tube.
