The tactical shotgun remains one of the most practical platforms for responsible home defense: fast follow-up shots, proven terminal performance, and intuitive handling under stress. A modern semi-auto built for duty applications must combine reliability, ergonomics, and accessory readiness to perform when it matters most.

Design and Build

The BERETTA 1301 is a 12 Gauge semi-auto in the Semi Auto category built around a robust 18.50″ black steel barrel and a black aluminum receiver with an integrated Picatinny rail. Chambering for 3″ shells and a 7+1 capacity make it a capable defensive platform that balances maneuverability and stopping power. Price is $2197.99.

Key Features

B-LINK gas-system and rotating bolt

Beretta’s B-LINK gas-system paired with a rotating bolt is engineered for reliable cycling across a wide range of 12 gauge loads. Expect softer felt recoil and dependable extraction in rapid-fire drills — a clear advantage when time is critical.

Ergonomics and controls

The upgraded forend features aggressive knurling and three M-LOK sections for lights, grips, or rail segments. A chisel black synthetic stock and a semi-flat tactical-style trigger deliver a consistent index and crisp trigger break. The Pro-Lifter system provides a mechanical assist for faster magazine-style reloads.

Accessory readiness

The Picatinny rail supports optics and back-up iron sights; note that optic, shell carrier, and match saver are not included with the firearm. The M-LOK sections keep the platform modular without adding bulk.

Performance and Application

As a 12 gauge, the BERETTA 1301 offers versatile ballistic options for home defense, from reduced-recoil defensive loads to standard 00 buck for maximum stopping power. The 18.50″ barrel keeps the shotgun compact enough for hallways while retaining consistent patterns and effective range for close-quarters scenarios.

Practical Considerations

The BERETTA 1301 is a purpose-built tactical platform: reliable gas operation, ergonomic controls, Pro-Lifter assisted reloads, and M-LOK attachment points. At $2197.99 it sits in the premium tier for duty-grade shotguns. Check current availability on our shop page before ordering.
