Anyone have a Beretta 1301 Tactical that can give me some review of its performance. On the Fence between a Benelli M2 Or Beretta 1301. Tactical Versions
 
Don't have the Tactical model but I do have the Competition one (was planning on shooting 3G) and it's a dream to shoot. Well worth the money and cheaper than an M2 and eats everything so far.
 
if you do go for the 1301, be sure to get a 2018 model as they re-designed the bolt release button that was causing an issue for some people (and is talked about in some youtube vids)...also it is available in FDE and OD green now (so if you see one in those colours you can be sure it is a 2018)

Great. Ya I can see the newer style bolt release in the pic. It looks different than the older model. I hope they make them in black aswell
 
Have the tactical. And old style release, never had a problem if used properly it eats every thing and points so well

I bought the 1301 tactical for 3 Gun and it works like a dream. I have the older model but installed the bolt release shroud and haven't had an issue with it. Just don't use Score ammo it dirties up the action and causes issues after a few shells.

I have 1301 tac gen 2 and 1301 Comp pro.

Personally I prefer the ergonomics of the 1301.. M2 is well built... But something about loading and shooting 1301 is a lot nicer.

Mine is amazing. Super duper light and functioned perfectly right out of the box, no lube or anything. Cycled 7.5 shot low brass easily.

2018 is the year that Beretta had some issues with the bolt release lever(more an operator issue). It was changed the following generations.
 
Start at time stamp 2:08 for the explanation of lever function & issue in the 2018 model year in Canada.

 
I have 2 1301's I love them both much better than the m4. The egos are very good. There are a lot of accessories for them and they just enhance the gun. The A300 patrol is just as good and a solid second choice to save some money

I have the 1301 Competition as well. Love it for sporting clays and trap, but the bonus is its great on waterfowl. The reason I bring this up is the tactical version, while having the same action, has a shorter purpose built barrel. If you are buying the gun for strictly tactical use, have at it. But if you looking to enjoy it beyond the tactical realm, I'd look hard at the Competition.

Are the barrels not interchangeable? If so, why not have both? I don't even know the number of 870 barrels I have kicking around here.

The Comp models have a longer receiver than the Tactical, and unfortunately that prevents barrel swaps.

So, the measurement between chamber and mag ring is shorter on the Comp barrel then. Could that not be rectified by a spacer ring over the mag tube?

edit...nevermind...gas gun. Ports, pistons, springs all incompatible with each other no doubt. I was focused on the barrel fitment only.
