Beretta 1301 Tactical

[cmbarny2]

I got some goodness in the mail. The shotgun should be at my FFL in Tuesday.

I'm jealous. I ordered by QDC from Aridus last week and haven't gotten my shipping notification yet. I'm giddy waiting for it and can't wait to hear the "You spent how much?" when I bring this shotgun to my PD class in a couple weeks.

I’ve had the 2 Aridus items in your pic. for a year+ now on my game 1301T, solid choices IMO.

Just ordered the Mk7 from Steiner today due to their blowout pricing, will be interesting to see how it interfaces w/ my house 1301T w/ Adams Zhukov on it.

I have had one of the Steiner lights. I love the concept but due to the fact that there is no momentary on or pressure switch, it is a no go for me. It’s either on or off and you have to reach far forward to turn it on.

I have the same feelings...I am concerned about the ability to use the light quickly. I am kind of in a bind though and need a light for the gun rather quickly. I will use it as a possible stop gap measure until I find a better solution. I will get out to the desert this weekend and get a few hundred rounds through it.

Pretty much why I said no.

I love mine, but i bought it to use for vermin at home where light discipline doesnt much matter. Id never put it on a social tool.

Received and installed my blitzkrieg front sight. https://www.blitzkriegcomponents.com...s.asp?Cat=1826 I have not shot it yet with the sight but it looks good and is very easy to pick up when mounting the gun or swinging to change targets, etc.

It is a bit of a fiddly install and i used a Craftsman "Midget" wrench in 7/32 to do the job. I also used a little piece of magnetic tape to hold the nut on the wrench so I could get it started.

So far so good hopefully I will get to shoot the gun very soon for the maiden voyage of this front sight.

was this sighted in OK?

that front sight post is higher than the factory one..

the Blitzkrieg one is approximately .35
the Beretta one is about .25

I really want to make this purchase but need to know if you had any issues.

thanks!

Not Mobettadefense, but...

After seeing his install, I ordered one for my 1301T. It went on fine with a little fiddling, and looks good.

I pulled the RDS I usually use, and checked the irons at 25 yds. I needed to raise the rear sight several clicks to compensate for the new front, but after several slugs, all was well. RDS now back on, with the high-vis front sight (I went with the white chevron) as a backup.

Short version: All it takes is a few clicks up on the rear sight to accommodate the new front sight. All good.

Well I got my 1301 out to the desert this weekend and here are a couple of thoughts after 250 rounds of birdshot, buckshot and slugs...

First, it is very light and easy to maneuver.

Secondly, it shoots fast. I grew up on a Remington 1100 and in comparison this gun is amazingly fast.

Thirdly, the Aridus Industries parts are superb. They fit perfectly and look like they are part of the gun.

I will update when I get back home.
