Beretta 1301 Tactical

I didn’t know about that one. Do you have a link? I do have a titanium charging handle for my Benelli M1 made by Freedom Fighter tactical that I’m happy with. I was hoping FF would hake one for the 1301, but I’m happy with my Briley.

Here’s a link to the Freedom Fighter Tactical Benelli charging handle. It’d be nice if they made them for the 1301, but I’m good with the Briley.

Off topic but the FF is titanium and only comes in a titanium finish. I was able to blacken the titanium using a process I found online. It requires heating the ti till it’s glowing red, then dipping it in WD40. After several heating and dunking cycles, it’s not quite black, but a nice shade of dark charcoal gray.

I have one of these. I had the Briley on the gun for about 11 seconds before taking it off and throwing it in the parts bin.

I used a mild acid to darken mine.

Did you order the Master Class directly or is there a US source?

I was just thinking though. The Briley is 2 pieces… a steel rod with an aluminum handle threaded on. If someone wanted to get fancy, they could machine a piece of aluminum any way they wanted and thread it on to Briley’s rod… or figure a way to remove the plastic on the factory rod and customize that!?!?! Just a thought…

May I ask why?
I hurried to get the Briley after seeing a picture of the stock lever broken off (plastic part). The Briley is 2-piece, but seems solid, and I rather like the concave surface to hook a finger in.
Titanium is cool, and with the current exchange rate, the MCCG part is only about $50 before shipping.
Please share what you immediately disliked about the Briley, and what you like about the Ti part.

Directly from Master Class.

It was smaller in diameter than the stock charging handle. It felt like a downgrade from the OEM part. The Master Class charging handle feels like an upgrade.
