Customer Reviews for Beretta 1301 Tactical 12 GA 18.5"

Top quality. You will not be sorry if you buy this! Done right!

Great gun, 1st generation without screw-in chokes, but works great for intended use.

Great shotgun. Fires anything I have put through it without any issues. Very satisfied with purchase.

Shipped as ordered. No surprises.

A GEN1 1301 Tactical. No issues with order or shipping. Pick up was easy. My fault not a GEN2 but this will work just fine. Buds has had everything I have needed. Thanks!

A great shotgun. With the $11 bolt shroud from Beretta to fix the “fatal flaw” in the bolt latch, the shotgun ran flawlessly and is pleasant to shoot.

I got this after handling one at a local gun store. They wanted 1,100.00. I got a great price from Buds and am ecstatic at the way this shoots. I have run 200 rounds through this some double 00, some slugs and 4 shot. great shotgun.

Nice shotgun man does it ever recycle rapidly, blam-blam-blam-blam-blam... Squeeze, and one goes. A well built, tough 12 gauge.

The smoothest shooting shotgun I've ever shot. Reliable and very lightweight.

GREAT SHOTGUN VERY GOOD QUALITY. This is my first transaction with buds, and I'm very pleased with how fast and easy everything was. will highly recommend.

This is my third beretta shotgun! Super light weight and runs well! Very high quality.

This shotgun is a straight beast, digesting everything I fed it. From light field loads to 00 buck to slugs. If your in the market for a robust tool to use as a part of your home security plan this fits in perfectly. With the recent price drop this is a no brainier.

I was a Bennelli fan for years but this shotgun is simply best of the best.

I love my 1301 tactical! I picked it up from my FFL and went straight to the range with it. Right out of the box it ate through 100 rounds of that cheap federal low brass with 0 issues. It looks and feels amazing, reliable and ready to be ran hard and used and always ready to cycle more. Also there are more and more companies making aftermarket parts for this gun. Benelli has to be losing sales now that the 1301 is getting more recognition and it's half the price.

I can always count on Bud's to find the gun I am looking for at the best price. This Beretta arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Picked one of these up at the giveaway price recently. The only reason I'm giving it five stares is there isn't six. I've been searching for a good Simi auto tactical shotgun for several years now, and this is the one. I picked up a box of 1 1/8 ounce federal bulk pack at Walmart, then picked up the 1301 from my local FFL. Pulled the gun out of the box and put five rounds down with no issue. Took it home, and took it apart, fondeled all of the internals, and DID NOT clean or oil it. I the went outside on this drizzly and cold morning, and put another 45 rounds of low brass federal down range, not one issue. I even held the gun at my waist, out from my body, and fired 5, no issue. The thing weighs less than my AR-15, and even though it's Hollow black plastic furniture it's not the same black plastic Furniture you found them cheaper shotguns it just feels better. Oh and the trigger feels like a rifle trigger. I can't wait too put some slugs through it. I was going to put the Mesa tactical urbino stock on it, because I had that on a 9:30 and I love that stock, but im not sure now. This stock feels really good. I'm going to put the Nordic Components magazine extension on it, aka 1301 police model. Right now I love it, if it keeps working, and doesn't brake too often I don't see that changing.

Great shotgun, great price and top notch service from Bud's Nothing more to say.

Tried many semi-auto defensive shotguns over the past several years, and found all of them wanting. The Beretta 1301 T is, in my opinion, the best of them. Easy to operate, so far perfectly reliable, simple to maintain and seems of very high quality. Liked my first one so much that when Bud's offered them recently at a giveaway price, I bought another.

Bud's was responsive to questions and quick to ship. Ordered on Thursday and it was delivered to my FLL on Monday. Gun was delivered in perfect condition and included a hard-plastic case (although Bud's has no control whether it's plastic or cardboard). Have not fired at the range yet but certainly looking forward to it. You will need to remove the plug to fit more than two shells in the magazine tube. Comes with an extension for the stock that I'll probably add as it feels a little short for my size. I would recommend purchasing a lever shroud to skirt the only "flaw" the internet says about this gone. All in all a pleasant transaction and ridiculous price to boot!

great gun well made very happy

This is an excellent shotgun. Lightweight, reliable and very fast. Bud's was great as always.

Paid for this Beauty on a Wednesday _used the 90 day layaway_ it shipped on friday received on Monday total quality, weapon was clean and flawless. Fired every old shell I had in the house from #8's to slugs to OObuck around 80 shells no Hiccups it ate it all,very pleased, thanks Buds. Grab one folks and they are a dollar cheaper now cant go wrong.

An incredibly well-built & designed tactical shotgun. Balance is fantastic, cycles flawlessly. Have run 500 shells through it and it just keeps asking for more. Even with the gas system, i'd recommend a recoil pad (I added a Kick-Eez fitted pad). This gun performs flawlessly...love the ghost ring sights and the mini-Pic rail (I have an offset tactical light mounted). Oversized charging handle and safety are a great touch. This gun performs like you'd expect a Beretta to perform...even at $999 it's an incredible value. Purchase and shipping process with Bud's was fantastic as well.

One of, if not the best shotguns money can buy! If you want quality, then buy a Beretta. Only thing to be disgruntled about is misleading shipping information from Bud's. Unless you call, you don't really know when the item will ship.
