DON'T BUY this Tactical Shotgun...Until You Watch This (Beretta 1301 Tactical MOD 2) 

What's Better? Upgraded 1301 Version 1 or the MOD 2? *Parts List & Codes Here:* bit.ly/3uzX7OH *INSANE Pew Pew Deals Here:* bit.ly/2OFAl23 *I Post Deals Here Daily:* twitter.com/tacticatoolbox

Just got the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. Not a 1301 Mod 2 but for the money(sub $1000) but it's pretty good!

Instead of a shell carrier get heavy duty velcro and put a shotgun card for your shells on it. You can also add another another shotgun card on the off side of your stock.

I have a Gen 2 Langdon 1301, and I like it. It's operates on the blink system. I also have benelli M4s, and the benelli is time tested and battle proven. It is different from the 1301 in the sense that it operates more like a rifle as its a has operating system kinda like an AR. That's partly what's attributed to its g Huge success as a combat shotgun. The shape and design if you look at it the tube for the stock serves as a buffer tube where the rear arm of the bolt gets pushed back into the tube in the same way that a AR does. The only real difference is it doesn't have detachable magazines like an AR-15 rifle it's got the load tube. You can get a benelli M4 with the night sights, extended mag tube, and collapsible stock. You have to get sku numbers 11715, 11796, 11732, and 11733. 11732 and 11733 are the Gen 2 versions. 11796 and 11733 are the marine H20 finish versions. Ask me how I know because I have all those except the 11733 and was told it's not exactly the same finish as the Gen 1 H20 models. Hope that helps. I do like my and in general the 1301, but I have to say I have a soft spot for the benelli M4. I will say, though, there's no denying how fast the 1301 cycles.

If you are fairly new to shotguns I encourage you to take the Haught’s course, Symtac consulting. They are the best. They have a recoil management technique that totally changed my experience, and I have been shooting shotguns for 50 years.

i sold my gen 2 to get the mod 2. like all the upgrades, can’t wait for the recoil insert to come out to try it out. i personally didn’t have any problems with the recoil of the gen 2. for being so light, the recoil was minimal. the only real problem i had was, gen 2 was $1200 and came with a hard case, mod 2, was $1600…no hard case…really beretta?

I am not LE and just bought the Benelli M4 with extended tube and collapsible stock. Just depends on where you go.

Can't wait to see the detailed analysis and hear your thoughts on its reliability, ergonomics, and overall performance.

For future, Please use same shot shells for all your comparisons. 1301 has always been the fastest out of the box. Still a fan bro 😊

My understanding is vangcomp won't port the 1301 because it has a chrome lined barrel. As a machinist it is definitely possible to port a chrome lined barrel however vangcomp may not have the equipment or the willingness to do it. Do things the wrong way and the chrome could chip off the inside of the barrel.

I have the original and my trigger pull center of the curved trigger is right at 4.5 placing the gauge a bit lower on the trigger it was right at 4 pounds

This was a great video with straight to the point information about the 1301 shotgun. I’m sold, thank you 🙏

Hey bubba could we get a PSA saber update please? Love the content you’re amazing and deserve a raise!

I think James from tfb tv has shown that with shotguns, you get what you pay for. If you're going to shoot thousands of rounds buy something nice. If it's going to sit in the closet it doesn't really matter. Shotguns beat themselves up by nature.

Looks really cool with logical features. But I didn't see anything so superior to switch out my old Winchester Model 12's.

Already own a 1301 and an A300! They don’t need any mods. They are flawless right from the factory as they were intended! I have had zero issues with either.

I have 1301 tactical with pistol grip the older version . I don't feel the recoil is anything to be concerned with. .Maybe the different stocks make a difference. I have no trigger time with those to compare. Also wanted to say that I have used Magpul push button QD on mine no issues and used a uncle Mike's quick detach on the mesa stock . Works good for me. And I know the lifter upgrade is available on mod 2 but I really don't see the need for it. Toughen up load your shotgun/and its a 12 gauge not a 410 there might be some recoil....depending on what you think recoil is.....personally I think if you have the green roll on any of them they are the cats meow..

I love your videos! You do a great job breaking down everything about a certain firearm. Thank you!

I purchased a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol for home defense a few weeks ago. No need to upgrade a thing in my hands. It has no problems doing exactly what it was made to do.

Thanks for the video. I disagree with your red dot mounting preference. I've always heard (and practice myself) that you want to mount it as far forward as possible, since there is little to no parallax, as far forward as possible. All you need is the dot, it's not a magnifying scope.

Great gun. Was at a recent show and the average price was $1700 - ouch.

Just picked up my mod 2 this last weekend. That pro lifter is the chefs kiss 👌🏻

Great review. I would love to see you review an often overlooked but amazing tactical shotgun …the FNH SLP (self loading police) 12gage. It is my go to for home defense. It’s also great for competition with a few upgrades. I also have a couple custom benelli m-2’s and my work horse for competition is my custom Remington 11-87

I tried my sling mounts and the swivel pulled right too

Dang, for the price, you would think they would provide a halfway decent plastic case rather than a cardboard box. It wouldn’t even need to be waterproof. I think I would go for the A300 patrol if given the choice, but that’s just my opinion.

I have the first version and GG&G makes some great parts for it. (Metal mag tube, barrel clamp, etc)

Love to see you add the Mossberg 940 Pro Tac to the mix.

Go with the Berretta soft kick pad I removed my kick off set up. It’s junk. Limb saver is also good.

Beneli M4 is solid but over hyped IMO.

Please get an A300 patrol and deck it out. Would love to see a comparison. Your opinion is valued and I believe that you are genuine. Thanks

Beretta screwed us over by not giving the 1301 a filed down feed ramp. They need to fix this.

I'm curious about Beretta's kick-off system. Can't wait to see that review if you get one for yours.

What happened to the comparison between the mod1 and mod 2? Also, you were going to show if you should keep your mod 1 or sell it for a mod2. Thank you.

I was on the fence between the standard stock and the Mesa Tactical. While I was trying to decide, I got an email announcing the 1301 Mod 2. I went to the gun store that morning and ordered the Mod 2 with the Mesa Tactical stock in FDE. I’ve only run a few hundred rounds of LE slugs through it so far, but it’s pretty slick. My favorite shotgun so far, by quite a bit. The lifter, trigger, and foregrip is definitely worth it over the original 1301.

Are the "improvements" useful--or just cosmetic? That is all that matters.

Is it a fixed choke? If it is not - which chokes did you use for 00 and for slugs? I think m1014 comes in fixed modified only which probably eliminate the possibility of using slugs (m4 seems to come threaded for chokes, but m1014 is fixed modified)

Followed your other videos, so far the Orthos is the one I'm leaning towards. Can't wait till your Benelli M4 vid.

There's too much alphanumeric nonsense in firearm designation. I like name like Honey Badger and Jakl and squibilly biggilly boomboom G (G because it takes glock mags)

Just got mod 2 in black under 1600... also, how can anyone compare a turkish clone to a real thing

Would love to see a Stoeger M3k Freedom

It some thing to say you have not one but TWO knock off Benelli M4 CHOT guns. Will there be a new after market market with any luck maybe this CHOT gun hooey will expand!!!! I need me a Beretta noodle spooler 1301.

Can you plz review the brand fabarm shotguns. They’re Italian made and I’ve asked so many ppl to review them as I love them, but no one ever does. I think and hope you’ll love them?!?!?!?!?!?! Plz tag me if you decide to.

I have carried a 1301 on and off duty. Two years ago I would have said the LTT upgrades were worth the extra $$, but they have gone with inferior parts and are no longer installing the Aridus Industries parts which are far superior and bomb proof without reducing their prices to reflect the cheaper parts. As you are beginning your shotgun journey, I strongly suggest taking a class or two from some real pros like 360 Performance Shooting or Symtac. Learn Push Pull and you eliminate recoil without trying to buy gadgets to not quite replace skill.

I held the Mod2 1301, pretty nice but im happy with the mod1 1301 tactical model! But i do like that FDE finish!

Durability and reliability are my primary concerns with an SD shotgun. I'd like to hear your thoughts on a 1301 vs Orthos vs M4.

I have a first gen FDE, the Nordic components is the best tube extension. it add 2 shell capacity and adds metal picatinny rails in the front got attachments, plus a slot for a quick release sling.

The kickoff system works well.

For a supposedly wet behind the ears person, you did an outstanding review of the Beretta 1301 Mod 2. Great video!! Kudos to you.

Recommend watching Tim Chandler or Rob Haught's discussion about the push pull technique used to mitigate recoil. I believe TFB TV had a video about this as well.

Thanks for showing and sharing this info with us.. Alot of great info with all of this shotgun... I love beretta.. Always have... I am really impressed with this shotgun.... Thank Brother GOD BLESS

Finally got an email from LTT and jumped on it today lol. Been waiting for them to stock back up for weeks now. I got the bronze. Just bought a a300 3 days ago and haven't shot it yet. Also have the 940 pro with red dot which I love. But I'm hoping the ltt 1301 will be worth it.

What you want is to put on the Briley 3gun mlok handguard. Full length aluminum handguard for 1301. Its awesome. Chuck that oem handguard.

I wish they would make the front sling mount out of aluminum. My gen 1 mount came off after several practice sessions learning the Symtac recoil mitigation technique. Also, I like the out of the way lifter.

I’m 50 and as of yet I have zero interest in a semi auto shotgun. I’ve got mostly Mossbergs but also 870s and Winchesters. My 590A1 and 500s are worn in so nicely and I’ve only ever trained and used pump actions that I’m almost as fast as a most are with semis. I’m not going to pay these crazy prices they want for them either. Maybe if I was in my 20s and/or never really got good with a pump but no need now. Still, I enjoy watching videos on them and can appreciate the technology but I’ll stick to what I have and know well.

Definitely want to see the review of the kickoff system. Also, some of the things shown as new were on the second version of the first 1301s. The bolt release and extended magazine with the qd barrel clamp. I’m not sure what version Beretta is calling those exactly. The big three differences are the fore end, trigger, and the pro lifter. I met a guy with sheriff deputy with a SBS 1301. With the blink gas’s system being so fast it was not an issue. I spoke to some guys at Freedom Trading in Vegas two years ago (2022) who said Vang Comp would probably port them in the future as well.

Recoil moves you off target. It is not about taking it. It is about controlling it. I am a big muscular guy, but a pro shooter is going to control the recoil to stay on target better despite being possibly physically weaker. Experience is everything in the shooting world.

Beretta owns Benelli, and I've met numerous people who own both, and almost all of them have said the 1301 is superior to the M4

Do yourself a favor and get the Nordic aluminium clamp and tube.

Battle nipple or Tactical Tittle

Mounting an optic to my stock doesn't sit right with me

Can you do a video about all the different stock options?

I bought the A300 patrol about a year ago and perfectly happy with it, no problems. Kicked it around for a while before buying it rather than the 1301 and not sorry. put that $6-700 savings in ammo ! If you need power take the Benelli SBE with a short barrel and put a mag ext tube on it, 3 1/2 “ 00 buck are not even in the same league as any other 00 buck load ! Coyotes at 70-80,yds are no match! Yeah, they kick more, but you don’t get more power without a price. To me the SBE is the simplest operating system there is.

Saw one the other day at local shop. Looked cool, but I’m just not a $2,000 shotgun kinda guy.

You should do a review on the lwrc ic di ar-15

Great review. You have a knack for doing reviews. I bought the Orthos based on your review. Thank you for you no BS reviews. Keep it up

Enjoying this series, looking to invest in a shotgun this year and these videos are helpful

Welcome back. Hope things worked out with the plans you had in life. Happy to see your videos and opinions again.

To stop muzzle rise just grind off a bit of the end of the muzzle on the top side.

Please....stop buying these Turkish clones of legitimate shotguns.

Great initial impression video homie! Keep it up. Excited to pick one of these baddies up, but I really appreciate the considerations you’re going through. Very thorough and thoughtful! ✌🏼

Be glad when you get up to a million! Been watching for a long time. You do very well!

I got the beretta A300 ultima patrol instead of the 1301 as my first semiautomatic shotgun and then bought a benelli M4…. Now all I want are semiautomatic shotguns

Super nice shotgun, I just got the A300 in mulicam. I have a feeling the brown on that 1301 is going to age poorly like something from Sears Roebuck.

The Blue Force Gear QD sling attachments are longer than most and should fit even the deep QD mounts.

Oh btw; sling issue popping out.. likely your sling; maybe try a different sling if it is still popping out contact beretta for replacement.

Do you plan on adding anything to the giveaway?

Chisel machine!! Awesome shotgun

I spoke with a group of operators and one had worked for all the alfabet agency's, and they all agreed that a pump shotgun was thier preference choice. Mostley talking about the remington 870 but i didn't get a chance to ask how they came to this conclusion.

The 1301 has wayyy too much polymer for the price point. I prefer the Benelli M4 with metal parts

You will be hard pressed to find a quicker 12gauge semi than the 1301 mod2 👍🏻

Your not going to compare durability. What's.tne point of any of this then? I would edit that part out, because you may be wet nehind the ears but I ain't. I'm.out.

If you had to buy just one. Would you get the 1301 or the already decked out Orthos Raider S4?

First time subscriber and I loved how you reviewed the Mod 2. Keep it up and I am looking forward to your modifications especially the foldable stock.

You think recoil on that beretta is bad try an inertia gun on for size 😂😂😂😂

Will the folding stock hold up to a few butt strokes? (Asking for a friend).

Great Info 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Moving your red dot further back limits your field of view, pushing it towards the business end opens your periphery and field for better target acquisition. The folding stock is badaz but the site integration is gimmickry.

Where’s the link for the mesa tactical pistol grip stock??

I was surprised to hear it’s a Turkish made gun. Which aspects of the gun are Turkish?

The free fix works but only for shells that can almost fit 7 without doing it

the qd thing for your sling is magpul

Is there a 940 pro tactical in the works?

I just got my 1301, and then know that there’s mod2…

Can you ghost load the 1301?

I can't tell if this shotgun is insane or just misunderstood... 🤔

Good info I've been looking to buy the 1301.

Sorry bro I don't take firearm advice from vampires

I know that mountain! are you in AZ? Pinal County?😃

I know you like accessories, the shell carrier for all my tactical shotguns I use a velcro card. Can mount to any shotgun on the receiver - left side, and stock - right side for right handers, also you can use cards from another shotgun so it crosses all your gear and is light weight and wont shatter if you drop it like a polymer or aluminum can bend. Esstac Shotgun Cards makes one but there are others. Can have 23 rounds on your gun with 2- 8 loops plus the 7 in the mag of the 1301. Can carry spares with ammo and just peel off empties and stick full ones to replace. Pretty slick in the tactical world. Two 8 round cards adds a significant (noticeable) amount of weight to the rear of the gun. ie helps with recoil.
