Beretta 1301 Tactical

[Paul Blackburn]

Well, it took me the better part of the weekend, but I went back through this entire thread from page 1. Reviewing the evolution of the 1301 was very interesting.

After reading all of this, I got to thinking about the factory forearm and a way to add rail space to that forearm. Has anyone used some JB weld in addition to a couple of screws to secure a piece of rail to the forearm?

I don’t really want to spend the extra $$ for the Zhukov mod if I don’t have to. This will be a work gun so having a good flashlight and a sling is a must.

I’m also torn about the 507 that came with this. I’m thinking I may want an enclosed emitter optic instead. Who’s used any of the Vortex optics on these? Anyone? I’ve got a Crossfire I took off my Stoeger sitting on my workbench.

This is great set up for a light and a sling!


As far as the 507 they hold up really well on shotguns and the circle dot is a real winner too.

The BAR11R D series are bolt on replacements for the factory rear sight.

Where do you get those and do they fit the 1301?

I copied Paul’s idea for the light mount. Imitation is the best form of flattery! The added benefit of this setup is the QD sling cup.

I had these on my 391 and I am not using any more, PM if interested (will separate):

Will that rear sight fit the 1301?

That is my understanding, I believe the upgrade would be that it is steel?
I drilled and tapped my 391 and used it in three gun a few times before I bought the 1301.

For those keeping score, 3 years ago I was literally one guy working out of 300 sqft in my parents garage with a single Tormach mill. That was the case until 2 years ago, when I moved into 700 sqft and added another mill. Since then I've expanded to 2,000 sqft with 3 mills and a lathe, and looking at ordering my 4th mill. I've also added 4 employees. Yeah, no kidding I didn't have the production capacity that companies that have been around for much longer have. But LTT knew that every step of the way. They also knew that my newest mill (VF-2SSYT if anyone is interested) was ordered back in November to help with the work load. It didn't get delivered until May. That's not something that pre-paying for a PO can solve, which was my exact answer. So, you know, let's not pretend like I haven't done everything in my power to responsibly grow and keep up. It doesn't happen overnight.

The good news is, now that the newest mill is running non-stop, production is kicking ass, and I'm doing what I always do- innovate and design kickass parts.

While I'm here, here's a charging handle that doesn't pull straight out of the bolt when it's not supposed to.

If you want to retain the OEM sights and have a useable co-witness optic get a Primary Arms MD25

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm really hoping for an MRDS mount but I can see how that would be a potentially adequate solution. I have a CROM and I'm going to hold back a while before making a change to see what comes out from Scalarworks.
