One aspect about the Beretta 1301 that I love is it's deceptively small size. When many people first see a 1301, they initially think it's an SBS (Short Barreled Shotgun) because it looks so short. Beretta has managed to make the barrel on the 1301 look shorter then it actually is. Add this to it's light weight and features, and you've got an Awesome shotgun.

@kwb377 2 роки тому
The reason the 1301 "looks" shorter when compared to other shotguns is it's shorter LOP, not any type of "smoke and mirrors" magic on the visual aspect of the barrel.
@notabot855 2 роки тому
@@kwb377 well and also the much longer foregrip/rail that covers that barrel, the m4 has a very short LOP also however doesn't get confused as a SBS compared to the beretta
@atadbitnefarious1387 2 роки тому
It looks like it has a shorter receiver than most shotguns, which probably helps. If you ever see an 18 inch double or single barrel, they look almost *too* short. But that's just because they have very short receivers which lends themselves to a short overall length.

The BLink action has been around for awhile, actually. I’ve used a beretta a40 for duck hunting-the a400 is the second iteration of the BLink I think- and I’ve dropped it in the mud way too many times and I’ve never had a malfunction. It’s a phenomenal system and it’s super easy to work on/clean. It’s comparable to a short stroke piston or a gas tappet system in terms of both disassembly and operation. It’s one of my favorites and I think it’s a real contender against the benelli
@grantaspenwall6805 Рік тому
Only time I ever had an issue with my A-400 was the first couple hundred rounds due to cycling issues, but it was the water foul model that could shoot 3 1/2" shells and I was using it to shoot sporting clays. Long story short the issue was due to light loads in a gun that wasn't broken in yet and since then I have never had an issue with it and love my A-400.

I had been looking for an M4 for about a year, and six months ago I finally gave up and “settled” on a 1301. Mine came from the factory with the extended magazine and QD clamp at the front. I was a little disappointed that I was having to settle until about 2 seconds into shooting it and realized just how fantastic it is. I recently (Friday) found an M4 at my usual gun shop for sale, and really didn’t have any buyers remorse. Really impressed with just how good this thing is.

@@wcsdiaries I haven't put them through enough torture to be able to declare a winner with reliability, they've both been essentially flawless. During the first 100 or so rounds with the m4 I ran some light Target loads as fast as I could, and it choked a couple times, but it's run everything else flawlessly. The 1301 has run everything, even light rounds during the break in period. I have full confidence in both. I do find the 1301 is easier to operate with it's superior controls - @garand was absolutely correct regarding the controls. There's nothing wrong with the m4's controls, the 1301's are just better. If better controls make the shooter more reliable, then I suppose the 1301 is arguably more reliable? I think if I'm in my home, I choose the 1301 and if I'm outdoors I grab the m4. Also, the mlok hand guard on my 1301 makes mounting accessories much easier than on the m4. Hopefully this helps.

Great vid and super informative. I have the 1301 LE model, one m4 and another 1014. The 1301 out the box is awesome. It light, maneuverable and very nice and easy to deploy. I’m running it with a Holosun 510 green version and this thing is on point and the time on target is quick and very accurate at 50 yards shooting slugs. It’s been my experience that it heats up faster than the Benellis. Overall the 1301 is a great blaster, don’t know it combat pedigree. The benelli is combat proven and a superb weapon system that will serve you for many years. My 26 years in the Marine Corps has engraved the 1014 in my heart. Still the 1301 is no slouch.

@TROOPERfarcry 2 роки тому
Here's why you care about that bolt being faster: because it's *lighter.* And the reason why you care about it being lighter is because it will cycle grossly weak 12 gauge shots that the M4 won't. It also translates into a touch less kick against you, because the mass of the bolt is a contributing factor on a shot-to-shot basis. Also, we're not humping these on a 5-mike through dusty environments. The M4 may be battle-proven -- I'm not arguing that -- I'm arguing that in the conditions we're going to be using our shotguns, the extra 'beef' of an M4 is a detriment, not a benefit. To that end, the 1301 is winning competitions, and the M4 is rarely even used. But if you examine what wins a competition, you'll see that it has a lot do with what wins a gun-fight: _it's the _*_first_*_ to put metal on target._ ... and that's where the 1301 outshines the M4, as proven by competitions.

@shawnmorgan7834 2 роки тому
I was under the impression that what made the m4 so cool was it’s self regulating gas system that allows it to even shoot underpowered less lethal rounds without having to change how it’s gassed. I agree that the lighter carrier helps the beretta, but I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue for the m4
@Kahamuj 2 роки тому
So basically if I want a comp shotgun, go 1301. If I want a reliable combat shotgun, go M4. Got it. And the M4 can shoot lighter loads, as well. I have both and have had no issues.

This video is spot on. I have the 1301 comp. 21 inch barrel. I prefer that because I can load 1 extra round for competition. I also prefer beads as opposed to rifle sights on my shotguns. Also makes a Burris fast fire easier to use due to beads being out of the way where sights block everything. My buddy has the M4. Mine cost 1350. His. 2150. Recoil is harder on mine to be sure but not a huge factor in any 3 gun match that I've noticed except at the end of the day, I'm rubbing my shoulder a bit more than Scott. I smoke him in reloads though. I prefer my butt stock to his pistol grip version for comp, but I use both just fine. Both have their charms. Both have their cursed. Neither one has anything I would pass on the gun over. I like em both!

I’ve been using Beretta competition guns for years, 1301FP, 390’s and the A400. They all have been wonderful high mileage guns. My A390st has fired at least a house worth of ammo through it without any parts breakage. Everything from lightweight bird shot to slugs. No issues. Has killed everything from clay through deer. If the new 1301 is anywhere near as durable it will give the Benelli a run for its money.

Everybody complained about the first gen bolt release but I actually like it because I can unload the magazine at lightning speed.

I only shoot clays though, maybe if you're running and gunning and crawling around, then it could be a problem.

I'm a novice gun enthusiast and I recently purchased my first shotgun. I went with the Beretta 1301 tactical. The thing that most impressed me that I find is not noted in many of the reviews of this weapon I found online is the perfect weight balance that you get between the rear stock and front end of the gun. The M4, aside from it being heavier, felt top heavy toward the barrel in my hands. I think the even weight balance makes the recoil to weight ration so impressive for the Beretta 1304. It feels balanced in the hands while aiming as well. Reminds me of a mid engine Porsche. Just perfectly engineered without unnecessary bells and whistles.

Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 I'm in high-level protection, and the 1301 offers an extremely rare opportunity own a phenomenal weapon at a fantastic low price: it could be priced a lot closer to the Benelli M4 (also owned by Baretta).. it's faster than the M4 (you can't out-run it), fasts reloads are a LOT easier than the M4 (especially as you avoid the M4 issue of getting your thumb busted), has Barreta quality, handles all loads effortlessly and is significantly cheaper. It's more streamlined shape allows for more snag-free deployment. The M4 however, is sexier. Thanks for the great video..
