Also, does anyone know if there is a good reason to use the heavy duty magazine spring instead of the standard?

Thanks for the info. I've put off getting one of these back when they were on sale, and I've sort of wanted one continually since then. Gonna have to budget for one and pick one up I guess since it's 6-9 months later and the more I read about it on PF the more I want one.
I ran some high brass heavy field shot, and full power slugs through the 1301 today. Everything works well. Recoil was stout because the gun is so light and also because I may be a pussy.

With out the clamp, is there an easy way to mount a light without resorting to tape or replacing the forend?
I have been looking for a new HD shotty and was almost set on the M4. However, after extensive reading on this forum and the net, decided to go with the Beretta. I have ordered some nice accoutrements from Aridus Industries and just happen to have an Aimpoint H1 with no home to mount up. I am looking forward to having some fun the 1301 very soon. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread and especailly to the Beretta rep.
I will post some pictures when everything is up and running.

I gotta say that has been a LONG thread experience. I too have been interested in a good semiauto 12g, but had never found the ideal platform for me. With all the help/advice in this thread, I just might have to give the 1301 a try.

Several folks, including myself, are making good use of the Streamlight mount.

It's perfectly adequate for a home defense gun IMHO, or could serve as an interim solution while you work something else out.
