Who is running the Beretta 1301?

Not much info other than it is a speed gun.

I just got one and have some stuff about it on my YouTube channel. So far, excellent shotgun.

I've got a 1301 Comp with a 21" barrel.

What do I love about it?
1) Eats EVERY kind of ammo I have fed it from cheap low brass target/game rounds to low recoil buckshot to standard recoil buckshot. Never a hiccup, not once. Just spits out empty hulls as fast as I can pull the trigger.
2) Great ergonomics - Large cocking handle, large bolt release, large safety button.
3) The safety is in the CORRECT location - at the front of the trigger guard where your trigger finger will naturally be prior to shooting (may not work out as well for you if you are used to the Rem 870, or other guns where the safety is at the rear of the trigger guard).
4) Easy to increase magazine capacity with Nordic Components extension (I went for the +2, but a +3 would just slightly overhang the end of the barrel).
5) Shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger - sometimes seems even faster.
6) Very mild recoil.
7) Easy to adjust length of pull with spacers provided with the gun.
8) Quick and easy sighting with the mid-length bead combined with fiberoptic front sight.
9) Easy to clean and maintain.

Things I don't absolutely love about it:

1) Haven't found anything yet.

Here's mine. Extra shells are in a card from SKD Tactical. Velcro'd to the side of the receiver.

Very informative video there Superset!

How does this (mainly the weight balance) compare to the M2?

[SuperSet]

Hey man,
Weight between Benelli M2 and Beretta 1301 is very similar. I'm guessing somewhere around 7 lbs. Both are fast handling compared to my FN SLP (heavy but absolute beast of a shotgun).

We need to squad up one day so I can ruin your day by shooting your stuff

Cool video, How does the Recoil compare to..... let us say a M2 or Versamax?
