\"So

So this Beretta 1301 Tactical is a little “overly geared up,” but it’s in the name of science, really.<\/p><\/div>\n

Some time ago, we took a close look at the Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun<\/a>. It\u2019s made for defensive use, and even the vanilla model might get a few funny looks on the skeet range.<\/p>\n

Since that time, I\u2019ve been experimenting with various customizations to the Beretta 1301 Tactical<\/a>. I wanted to see, by trial, error, and plenty of use, what proved valuable over time. To do that, I sort of turned it into a Gunzilla. No, I didn\u2019t hang all this junk on it as a result of playing too much Gears of War or doing a Walter Mitty Couch Commando thing. I just wanted to try a bunch of stuff in the risk-free environment of the plinking range so I could make informed decisions about what gear adds value and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"Lights,

Lights, lasers, red dot optics, multiple shell caddies, an upgraded stock… What else can fit on here?<\/p><\/div>\n

Pistol Grip Or Not?<\/h2>\n

I shot the Beretta 1301 Tactical \u2013 a lot \u2013 both with and without a Mesa Tactical Urbino stock with a pistol grip<\/a> installed. Just to be clear, I\u2019m talking here about a full stock, just one with or without a pistol grip. I can\u2019t shoot those stockless pistol-grip-only shotguns for crap at anything more than a few feet away.<\/p>\n

What did I find? I liked the pistol grip, but not for the reason you might expect. I don\u2019t really care if it\u2019s more tactical-er or not. What became apparent through use was the convenience of being able to control the gun with one hand. Not for shooting, but for simple things that require the use of your other hand, like opening a door, using the phone, retrieving more ammo, or whatever. I just found that the pistol grip made it a little easier to handle the shotgun \u201cadministratively\u201d than the traditional grip.<\/p>\n

\"Provided

Provided there is a shoulder stock, I’ve found that I really like a pistol grip for administrative handling ease if nothing else.<\/p><\/div>\n

I couldn\u2019t detect much of a difference in recoil between the pistol and standard grip configuration, but that may be a personal issue. I\u2019ve been battling some carpal tunnel issues in both wrists, and the standard grip causes me to hold my wrist in an awkward position while the pistol grip keeps it in a somewhat less strained position. For me, and I realize this may go opposite to others\u2019 experiences, the pistol grip was easier and more comfortable to shoot.<\/p>\n

You might want to consider your reloading method when deciding between pistol and traditional grip profiles. If your interest is three-gunning, you might find that the pistol grip gets in the way of multi-shell reloads. My interest with this project was purely defensive, so competitive speed tweaks didn\u2019t factor into my decision. Just something to be aware of.<\/p>\n

\"Through

Through some experimentation, I’ve found that shells work best in the base down configuration on this particular setup. The optic effectively prevents “over the top” loading, but support hand “underneath the receiver” loading works like a champ.<\/p><\/div>\n

This simple experiment, actually using both configurations over time, showed the wisdom of trying stuff yourself rather than relying on what the hearsay dictates. The end result? On this gun, for defensive use, I\u2019m keeping the Mesa Urbino stock with pistol grip. If I were to start using this gun competitively, I\u2019d probably switch back to the factory stock.<\/p>\n

Spare Ammo<\/h2>\n

Shotguns eat faster than Rosie O\u2019Donnell and Michael Moore in the finals of a Krispy Kreme donut eating contest. Due to the size and weight of shotgun ammo, in-gun capacity ain\u2019t all that great to start with. While it varies with the gun, you\u2019re looking at somewhere between four and eight rounds for the \u201caverage\u201d defensive shotgun. The Beretta 1301 Tactical used as my example here holds seven in the magazine tube after I installed a\u00a0Nordic Components two-round extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unless you want to wear bandoleers or staple a box of shells to your thigh, you have to consider some ways to mount some extra ammo. I\u2019ve tried a couple of different approaches, so let\u2019s take a quick look at each.<\/p>\n

Mesa Tactical SureShell Shotshell receiver<\/a>\u00a0and buttstock caddies<\/a> have turned out to be a good option. They make aluminum caddies that fasten to the receivers of many popular shotguns (and can include an optional top strip of Picatinny rail for optics). You can order them in a range of capacities \u2013 the one shown in the photos here holds six shells. Being made of metal, the \u201cloops\u201d for each shell are rigid so it\u2019s easy to load and unload shells. I\u2019ve not run into any downsides of this approach. The shells are right next to the loading gate, and as I orient them base down, I just push each down with my support hand and load it. The extras don\u2019t get in the way of sight picture, mounting, or operation of the bolt or safety controls. I like it.<\/p>\n

\"While

While it’s nice to have four extra shells, reloading these is not nearly as fast or intuitive as from the receiver caddie.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mesa Urbina Stock also has an option for an additional shell holder, and I mounted one that holds four shells. This is definitely a \u201cback up extra ammo\u201d option as the shells aren\u2019t nearly as accessible as with the receiver caddy. As I shoot right-handed, I had to mount these on the right side of the buttstock, else they would interfere with my cheek weld. To load these, you need to hold the gun with your support hand and load with the strong side. The operation is opposite of loading from the receiver caddy, so that\u2019s less than ideal. I haven\u2019t found that this stock caddy gets in the way, but just know it\u2019s slower and less accessible. If you feel you need the extra shells in this location, extra reloading practice is in order as you\u2019re now doubling the complexity of whatever muscle memory you develop.<\/p>\n

The second spare ammo approach uses Velcro-attached soft loop caddies. My initial assumption (and you know assumptions are often wrong, right?) was that these were just budget gun show table junk. Then I took a tactical shotgun class at Academi<\/a> and learned the real value of elastic and Velcro. As the caddy attaches to the receiver via Velcro, you really use them as shotgun magazines. The idea is to permanently mount a Velcro pad to your receiver, then buy a bunch of soft loop caddies. Load them up and throw as many as you like in a dump pouch or pack. Stick a full one on the receiver, and when it runs dry, tear it off and mount a fresh one loaded with shells. Of course, you still have to load shells from the caddy to the gun, but you can easily refresh \u201cspent\u201d caddies for full ones. It\u2019s a handy approach.<\/p>\n

\"Don't

Don’t let the “budget” appearance of these elastic and Velcro receiver caddies fool you, they’re super handy.<\/p><\/div>\n

Optics, Lights and Lasers<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s shockingly easy to miss with a shotgun, even when using something with a broader pattern like birdshot. Just try running around in the dark and shooting for speed. With that said, you actually do need to aim a defensive shotgun. At short range, patterns are small, maybe just an inch or two, so controlled shooting still rules.<\/p>\n

\"If

If I removed everything else for reliability or weight reasons, the Aimpoint Micro H-2 is the one component that would stay. It great for slugs but surprisingly useful for buckshot as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

I mounted an Aimpoint Micro H-2<\/a> on the Beretta 1301 quite some time ago and it\u2019s become a permanent fixture because it\u2019s proved to have all upside with no downside. As an \u201calways on\u201d optic, there are no switches to mess with; just mount the gun, and the dot is there, day or night, indoors or outdoors. The buckshot load I like to use is the Federal Premium FliteControl Wad 00<\/a>, and that has a really, really tight pattern. For any distance from zero to 50 yards, you\u2019ll want to aim. Even at 25 yards, this load patterns at less than eight inches, so by using a sighting method as opposed to the \u201cspray\u201d approach, you can decide where you want pellets to go.<\/p>\n

\"As

As an experiment, I added this Crimson Trace RailMaster Pro. While I would prefer something lower profile, it’s nice to have light and laser.<\/p><\/div>\n

In preparation for the last Crimson Trace Midnight Three Gun Invitational, I decided to try mounting a light and laser to this shotgun. To minimize the number of individual gadgets, I stuck a Crimson Trace Rail Master Pro<\/a> up front on the strong side. That compact unit has a 100-lumen light and red laser. Although it\u2019s tough and made out of aluminum, it does protrude to the side and in theory, could get knocked off. However, it does not at all interfere with either my support hand grip or vision. It\u2019s also easy to activate just by flipping the lever with my support-hand index finger. When shooting in the dark, it was invaluable. The light gave me great target visibility well downrange and the laser allowed me to sight very fast while maintaining my focus on the target itself. I really liked it. For daylight shooting, I forget it\u2019s there as it\u2019s out of the way. Besides, that\u2019s what the Aimpoint is for. The neat thing is that I never have to change my sight picture. Day or night, the stock aligns my eye looking \u00a0through the Aimpoint glass. If the laser is on, I see it. If it\u2019s not, I only see the red dot, so there aren\u2019t two sighting scenarios to practice.<\/p>\n

Other Stuff\u2026<\/h2>\n

For a defensive shotgun, a sling is a really good idea. Why? It\u2019s a holster for a long gun. In this use, that\u2019s it. Obviously, you\u2019re not going to be making arm loops for stabilized shots out of the prone position. What it will do is allow you to drop the shotgun and have unencumbered use of both hands. The one I\u2019ve been using, and really like, is the Viking Tactics Original Sling<\/a>. At $39.95 it\u2019s not cheap, but it\u2019s fantastic. It\u2019s a two-point sling, but the genius is the quick-adjust mechanism. Use the sling in its expanded position so you can shoot with either hand, but when you release your gun, you have the option of cinching up the sling to bring everything close to your body. Tightening and loosening is a super-fast, one-handed operation.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Aimpoint Micro H-2 is attached with a quick-detach mount, so if it pukes the iron ghost ring sights are there and ready.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Net-Net<\/h2>\n

The more I read and learn from discussions with others, the more militant I get about actually trying things on my own before making equipment or procedure decisions. Admittedly, the 1301 you see here is \u201coverly geared up\u201d for experimental purposes, but it\u2019s been invaluable for actually trying out the various options that people argue about so enthusiastically on the internet. With a little creativity, you can try different configurations too without committing to purchases. Got friends with gear? Strike up an agreement to schedule some swap days where you reconfigure your stuff and try it out. There\u2019s nothing like learning what works best for you by doing.<\/p>\n
