When Beretta examined their 1301 Tactical Shotgun for 2018, they started by listening to what their customers, both civilian and LEO, had to say about its previous iteration. With an updated bolt release, a toughened rear sight, new colors and more, this gas-operated tactical shotgun is sure to be a hit with Beretta fans everywhere (and if they aren't Beretta fans, they will be once they shoot it). At the 2018 SHOT Show Media Day at the Range, American Rifleman's Mark Keefe stopped by the Beretta bay to learn more about this super shotgun...and now, so can you.
