Beretta 1301 Comp: Ready to Go for 3-Gun Matches, Practical Shooting

The Beretta 1301 Comp semiauto shotgun is designed to win tactical competitions right out of the box. Combining the technology of Beretta’s best sporting shotguns with the requirements of the most demanding tactical shooters, it cycles faster than the competition, handles like a dream, and has oversized controls for super-easy operation. It is available in two barrel lengths (21″ and 24”) and its receiver is drilled and tapped for rail mounts so that it can be equipped with optics or tactical aiming devices without any gunsmithing. And thanks to its Optimabore HP interchangeable choke system, it can also be adapted for other uses and will always perform like a Beretta.

Lightning-Fast Shooting, Easy Operation

The 1301 Comp features Beretta’s proprietary Blink gas-operating system, which enables it to shoot 4 shots in less than 1 second–that is, 36% faster than any other brand. But even with this tremendous advantage, Beretta’s engineers did not stop there. The controls are supersized so that 1301 can be operated quickly and easily when seconds count: the cocking handle, bolt-release lever as well as loading and ejection ports are oversized for simple and intuitive use under the heat of competition.

Ultra-Durable Steelium Barrel

The barrel of the 1301 Comp is made of Steelium, Beretta’s own steel blend designed to give premium performance even after tens of thousands of rounds. It features a stepped, wide sporting rib that minimizes mirage, and it has both a mid-bead and front fiberoptic sight for instinctive pointing under most lighting conditions. And thanks to the Optimabore HP choke system, 1301 offers unmatched ballistic performance, with constant patterns regardless of load used.

Best-in-Class Tactical Stock

Having worked with military and police forces all around the world, Beretta offers you decades of experience building firearms that meet the strictest demands of professional shooters. 1301 embodies this experience, with its short stock with aggressive non-slip checkering for positive handling under the stress of competition. Also, the length of pull is user-adjustable so that this shotgun will give you the best fit and the most natural pointing regardless of your shooting style, the thickness of clothing, or body size.

Also available is the 1301 Tactical, a dedicated home-defense and law-enforcement version of the 1301 Comp.
