Beretta 1301 Tactical

[Phaedrus]

Thanks. Before reading your post, I panic-emailed GGG to make sure.

I did, too, but got no response. Luckily it worked out.

Primary Arms has black 1301s in stock.


Edit: NVM, they were there a few hours ago.

I got my GGG mount in yesterday. I’ll be using it in a class in a few weeks to see how it holds up.

Beretta now offers their 1301 Comp Pro style lifter to owners of the Tactical model 1301’s. I recently installed one on my 1301 T, Gen 2. Here’s a link to Beretta’s website offering:

And here’s the YouTube link to the video I made:

Interesting. Is there any downside to this from a reliability standpoint or anything like that?

I wish I knew for certain. More testing at the range will be necessary at a minimum. I’ll be also doing a lot of port loading practice and speed drills, also drills to the first shot from cruiser ready. I’ll definitely be looking for any reliability issues. Hopefully Beretta did their homework on it too, and offer it after verifying its functional reliability.

This is very interesting to me as I'm not a big fan of how pinchy it can be to load in the stock form. Looking forward to reviews.


ETA: I assume this eliminates the ability to ghost load huh?

The standard lifter received very little dressing of the tip. It's pretty easy to smooth the edges around the end and blend everything so it doesn't bite. Only takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Well worth it.

I've got some goodies to install.



I am waiting for some more things to come in. I plan on making installation videos for YouTube.

I picked up the rear sling mount as well, as that's where I prefer affixing the rear of a sling on my shotguns and until now there wasn't a good option for it on the 1301. I really dig it thus far.

I'm very leery of front mounts that get in between the mag tube and the extension/cap, as they reduce the thread engagement available to the extension/cap. As such, I'm sticking with the Nordic extension/sling mount/pic rail/clamp system on mine for now.

I've got this lifter in a box waiting to be installed. I hadn't read anywhere that it would work other than Beretta's website. I gather that you simply disassemble the trigger assembly, swap the lifter, and reassemble?

Also, you answered my question about dumping the mag tube with the new lifter. It might sound weird but I wish you could just pull up to dump the whole tube instead of unloading shells one by one.
