Beretta 1301 Tactical

[Joe Mac]

I just got an Aridus CROM for a fairly new 1301, and installed it and a T1.

How about a pic? I got money burning a hole in my pocket...

Def looking fwd to when the 1301s are back in stock too!

Second range trip with my LTT 1301 with T-2. Federal slugs, three shots at 25 yds, resting on range table.
Attachment 63722


First trip, I was shooting some Remington "reduced recoil" slugs the range sold. Box said 1200fps. Today, I was using Federal "Power Shok" loads listed as 1610fps. Not a huge difference in POI at 25, but considerably more muzzle blast and recoil. As @GJM used the word, "concussion" is a much more accurate descriptor.

I'm liking this thing.

Gotta go to another range to pattern some buckshot. Current range doesn't allow use of shot, to preserve their target carriers.

You shall be pleased to know that Mr. Tom Givens has written about the 1301 in the early edition of next month's Rangemaster newsletter. Go read it if you haven't already.

Will be camping in the desert tonight, and have the 1301 full of Brenneke slugs. What is neat, is since I wear a Mastermind Velcro belt, I can just grab the spare slugs and slap them right on my belt.

General interest strategy questions. Thoughts on your choice of 1301 over Rattler? And slugs vs. buckshot around camp?

Thanks in advance.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and discussed it with Darryl Bolke multiple times. We have the Rattler in a pack and the 1301 in a case. My wife is the Rattler person and me the 1301. Darryl points out that carbines are good, but Brenneke slugs are definitive. I keep buckshot in my shotgun when inside in the lower 48, but slugs outside everywhere and even inside in Alaska.

Thank you very much. Sounds like flawless logic. And a formidable duo!!
