I remember seeing it in a beretta catalog a couple years ago and from looking up some info on it(including this forum), it seemed to be a cheaper benelli m1 and could use the same accessories. so I went to berettas site and its not on there anymore. did they stop making them? anyone know where I could grab one?
where to buy beretta 1201fp?

Not to gloat or anything, but I just picked up a like-new one from Williams' Arms in Port Perry. They told me that it was discontinued. I got it because I wanted to play around with the inertia-operated action...I hate cleaning gas-operated shotguns! It feeds all of the full-powered loads that I've tried in it, and is very accurate with Challenger or Tru-ball slugs, for a smoothbore. It's light and slender, and kicks like hell. With cheap slugs, it's going to be my practice gun in lieu of shooting expensive ammo in my #1 .375 H&H and my Ruger Magnum .416 Rigby. Felt recoil seems about the same in all three guns to me.
Find a Benelli M1S90 PG stock for it and you'll like it more.... Here's mine with a few other added parts from Dave's. This inertia stuff, genius system from a few simple parts. I like it a lot.
It does kick a bit, doesn't it? Takes a bit of getting used to though.
