Gun Descriptions

The Beretta 1301 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun produced by Beretta Italy and imported by Beretta USA in the United States. The firearm has two separate designs. One is intended for tactical, self-defense, and law enforcement applications, whereas the other is designed for competitive disciplines. Despite its intended applications, it is often used by a minority of hunters and sporting clay shooters. The 1301 is a successor to the 1201 Tactical model, and it shares many similarities with Beretta's A400 line of shotguns, which are successors to the A391 series. All modern 1301 shotguns, much like their A400 counterparts, make use of a Beretta proprietary choke constriction system known as "Optima-HP". One exception is the early tactical model, which used a fixed cylinder constriction barrel. These barrels are backbored for reduced muzzle rise and improved patterning.  

The A400 Lite Synthetic is Beretta's take-anywhere 3" black synthetic shotgun. With features like S Grip surfaces on the stock and forend, the Kick-Off Plus system, GunPod 2, and a cross-tube piston for maximum capacity, the lightweight A400 Lite is the Beretta hunters have been waiting for.
