The Beretta 1301 Competition semi-automatic shotgun is engineered for peak performance in dynamic shooting disciplines, including 3-Gun and practical shooting events. Designed to be competition-ready straight from the box, this model is available with either a 21" or 24" barrel, offering versatility to suit various shooter preferences and competition requirements. Experience the blend of Beretta’s advanced sporting shotgun technology with the specific demands of competitive shooters, delivering exceptional speed, agility, and user-friendly operation.

At the heart of the 1301 Competition is Beretta’s exclusive Blink gas-operating system, enabling it to fire 4 shots in under 1 second – an impressive 36% faster than many other semi-automatic shotguns. Engineered for rapid and reliable cycling, the 1301 also features oversized controls for intuitive manipulation under pressure. The generously sized cocking handle, bolt-release lever, and both the loading and ejection ports ensure quick and effortless operation when every second counts in a competition setting.

The barrel of the Beretta 1301 Competition is crafted from Steelium, Beretta’s unique steel blend, guaranteeing premium performance and outstanding longevity through tens of thousands of rounds. It features a stepped, wide sporting rib engineered to minimise mirage, paired with a mid-bead and front fibreoptic sight for instinctive pointing and clear target acquisition in diverse lighting conditions. The versatile Optimabore HP interchangeable choke system further enhances its ballistic performance, ensuring consistent patterns and adaptability for various shooting scenarios.

The receiver is also thoughtfully drilled and tapped, allowing for seamless integration of rail mounts for optics or aiming devices without requiring any gunsmithing.

Drawing on extensive experience in firearms design, Beretta has equipped the 1301 Competition with a stock focused on competitive excellence. Its short design incorporates aggressive non-slip checkering, providing positive handling and a secure grip even under the most demanding conditions. Additionally, the length of pull is user-adjustable, ensuring an optimal fit and natural pointing for any shooter, accommodating different body sizes or clothing thicknesses.
