Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications are recommended for the Beretta 1301 Tactical?

Key modifications include a Magpul SGA stock with an Eridis Industries adapter, a modified Magpul Zhukov handguard, a Smrt follower for empty chamber indication, and a Beretta Pro-style lifter to ease loading and prevent thumb bite. An EOTech XPS2-1 optic and a Cloud Defensive REIN Micro light are also suggested for enhanced tactical capability.

How does the JK Armament 195 Versax suppressor perform on a 12-gauge shotgun?

The JK Armament 195 Versax significantly reduces the perceived noise and recoil of a 12-gauge shotgun, making shooting more comfortable. While it doesn't eliminate the boom entirely, it lowers the tone and makes it comparable to a suppressed 300 Blackout. Some ammunition types may be finicky when suppressed.

What is the approximate weight of a fully modified Beretta 1301 Tactical with a suppressor?

When fully loaded with a shotgun card and the JK Armament 195 Versax suppressor attached, the Beretta 1301 Tactical can weigh around 10 pounds and 14 ounces. This weight is attributed to the shotgun itself, accessories, and the suppressor.

Are there any downsides to suppressing a 12-gauge shotgun like the Beretta 1301 Tactical?

One potential downside is the wait time for suppressor components, such as the choke replacement device, which can take months. Additionally, certain ammunition loads might not cycle reliably when the shotgun is suppressed, requiring careful selection of shells.
