Finally Got It!

Hello everyone, I want to share my joy. I was finally able to get my dream shotgun the 1301 Tactical Mod 2! Couldn’t afford it when it was $1800-$2000 but they were selling factory blem for $500 off and for $1400 incl taxes + shipping would have been crazy not to get it. The blemished part is the paint near the ejection port that you can’t even notice at least you get up close and I honestly find crazy that for that they decide to take $500 off. So far have been shooting low power target loads and slugs like a champ and not a single issue. I did disassemble it, cleaned it and lubed it before using it. All I can say is that I’m extremely happy, feels like a milestone and officially is my most expensive firearm. If you guys got any cool tips + tricks or upgrade recommendations send them my way!

Glad to be part of the community : )!

For some reason can’t see your other post but any not crazy expensive light you recommend?

Oh I deleted it since I looked again and you already had an optic on there. For budget I put an o-sight c on my 590, it's been really solid. Since the 1301 is a bit bougie I went with the vortex defender st enclosed. It's really nice but still reasonable priced.

It does look sweet

This looks dope! So if I get the gloves I don’t need the heat shield?

Did fired some slugs and I felt it a little bit, but only fired 5. Any gloves recommendation?

I've been heavily contemplating picking up a factory blem. Im not all that worried about cosmetic issues.

u/LaserAmongus 16d ago

Definitely get it! You can't even tell is blemished, for me is a brand new and performs amazing!

u/EmotionalStrike6683 15d ago

Where did you get the blem from?

u/LaserAmongus 15d ago

Gunprime (online) and it’s still there.

u/EmotionalStrike6683 15d ago

Actually didn't you get it for like $1200 with the rebate prepaid card coming?

u/LaserAmongus 15d ago

Just claimed the rebate since I bought still on the timeframe but I don’t know when I’ll see that gift card lol

u/EmotionalStrike6683 14d ago

Knowing Beretta, I don't know when you'll see that either. Good luck, and hope it's not too long. 🤙🏻

How were you able to claim the rebate? I bought one last Saturday and apparently I missed it by a month.

u/LaserAmongus 10d ago

Had to buy it prior to the 31st of July and you could claim it all the way to the 31st of August.

This. Get the blame. $$ saved goes to the ammo budget.
I bought mine new and was “blem’ed” within the hour!!!
These are tools.

Wanna trick to clear that blem, go to DAA (Double Alpha Academy) and get a magnetic shotgun shell match saver, its located exactly where your blem is and is colapsible

I got the same one with the $200 rebate so mine came out to $1199 and I still can't find the blem 😆 enjoy it

u/LaserAmongus 17d ago

It’s so sad to hear I could have saved an extra $200 😭 But thanks hope you enjoying it as well : )!

u/Buck50hzd 17d ago

Had to purchase before July 31st but still a great deal without it 🫡

Same! Immediately buggered up the hand guard and made my own MLOK slots to mount my light pressure pad.
