You guys with issues have some bad luck !!!! I own multiple Beretta firearms and have yet to encounter an issue aside from regular wear.
- Original 391 extrema has god knows how many flats of shells through it and all it have had to do is replace the piston ring once. This is probably after some 50-60,000 rounds ( 70-80% being 3 1/2 magnum shells).
-A400 Extreme has probably a good 10,000 down the pipe, no issues.
- 1301 Tactical has a much lower round count (probably around 5k) but zero issues.
- Beretta 687 sporting is pushing well over 150k. I cracked a firing pin at around 75k . Gun was used heavily for skeet shooting, 5-600 shells a week.

What are you using 40 000ish 3.5" shells for? Im just curious is all
LOL, I had the same question.
For every "gun has a problem thread", a fanboy has to chime in with outlandish statements, its a normal part of the healing process for repairing the brands tarnished name.
No one in the thread said the 1301 is unreliable, I have owned Beretta duck guns and have liked them immensely.
The problem I have is a front sight installed incorrectly, a basic and important thing on a firearm, long before I want to test reliability I would like my point of aim to be true, not off the natural sight plane from an off centre mounted front sight.
Its just common sense to mount a front sight that is centered on the barrel, not a hard concept to get.
And then blind sided by an inept warranty department to boot, another critical issue for any Canadian owners/buyers of these products from Stoeger expecting to have any support after the sale.

There is no problem, and to put you in your place I loosened my front iron and adjusted it like yours.

And you're not "putting anyone in their place", just stick to posting in the political commentary and in the greeting section because you can't grasp the fact a front sight should be installed correctly.
Another one for the ignore list, thank you.

That gun has been across all of Canada and many US states waterfowl hunting. I have lent it out to numerous friends over its life and still do. I bought it new in 2004 when they came out. TBH its probably closer to 65-70% 3.5 not the initial 70-80% I stated.
