Description
The Beretta 1301 Comp 12 Gauge 24 is a gas-operated semi-automatic 12 gauge built for practical shooting, 3-gun, and fast-paced clay games, with a 24-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber. It is one of the fastest-cycling semi-autos on the market and comes ready for competition right out of the box.
Beretta 1301 Comp 12 Gauge 24 Overview
Beretta has built firearms in Italy for nearly five centuries, and the 1301 family is its dedicated platform for tactical and practical shotgun use. The Comp line takes the 1301 action and tunes it for competition, where every fraction of a second counts. The standard Comp uses a black synthetic stock and forend, a lightweight aluminum receiver, and oversized bolt handle and bolt release so you can run the gun quickly under pressure.
Gas System and Rotating Bolt
The heart of every 1301 is the B-Link gas system with a rotating bolt head. Beretta rates its cycling speed at 36 percent faster than any other semi-automatic, which lets you fire follow-up shots as fast as you can pull the trigger. The system is also self-regulating, so it runs reliably with light target loads and heavier field or defensive loads alike. Like any gas gun, it needs regular cleaning of the piston and gas ports to stay at peak performance.
Loading and Controls
The receiver features an enlarged, beveled loading port and an oversized lifter that make quad-loading and fast reloads easier. The bolt handle and bolt release are oversized for positive manipulation with gloves or under stress. The magazine holds 5+1 rounds in standard configuration, and extensions are widely available for shooters who need more.
Barrel and Chokes
The 24-inch barrel is built for quick handling and swing. The longer barrel gives a smoother swing and a longer sight plane, which many shooters prefer for longer shots and clay sports. The barrel accepts Beretta interchangeable choke tubes, and a fiber-optic front sight gives a fast, bright aiming point.
Fit and Recoil
The stock can be adjusted for length of pull, drop, and cast with included spacers and shims, so the gun can be tailored to most shooters. Recoil is moderate for a 12 gauge thanks to the gas action, and recoil-reducing accessories are available if you want even softer shooting.
Finish and Durability
The aluminum alloy receiver is light and strong, and the steel barrel and internal parts are treated to resist corrosion. Synthetic furniture shrugs off weather and rough handling on the range.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the gas piston, cylinder, and bolt regularly, especially after high-volume match days. Keep a spare set of O-rings and a cleaning kit in your range bag.
State Laws
Some states restrict semi-automatic shotgun features or magazine capacity. Check your local regulations before ordering, and your receiving FFL dealer can help confirm the gun is legal where you live.
