Hi there,

Wondering which one would you choice and what are your thoughts are on them for 3gun, What if there is a good sale on the gen1, would you take it over the gen2? Can the gen1 be threaded for chokes?

Thx
 
I would take a gen2 for the improved button and chokes.
It would be great for 3 gun

I have a gen 2 1301 competition and it is very nice.
 
The 1301 Comp barrels use chokes. They also use the 3.5" receivers ie larger loading port to help speed up reloading. If you are gonna run it in 3gun, I would go Comp over Tac but that's just my preference.

What’s like shooting with only a front beed site in 3 fun?
 
Once you pattern your shotgun, no probs with a bead. Just point and shoot or lead the target. You can always mount a rail on the top of the receiver and mount a red dot. The comp has a mid-bead on the rail and it's not uncommon for it to work loose and fall off. Remove it, degrease with some rubbing alcohol and apply some loctite.

Unfortunately the barrels are not interchangeable with the Tactical model due to the receiver size difference. Maybe I just need to get a gen 2 Tac in FDE. lol

Lol, that’s the thing I can’t seem to find the comp gen2 on sale, but the tac is. I do prefer ghost sites over beed, and that also allows for adjustments of of POI.
 
The Gen 1 is just fine. Better than fine. I've had a chance to run every major semi, and the 1301 is hands down my favorite. That's even up against Benellis complete line of offerings. Does the 1301 have some quirks?? Sure. But thats half the fun of getting to know the platform. Grouping wise, it's tight as can be. Runs like a fair modified.

All that said, if you have a few extra hundred why not get the Gen 2. Just don't let the doodads fool ya ;)

Thanks, I was leaning towards a gen2, but now I have an m4 on the way. It’s funny how things work out sometimes:).
