Got a 1301 comp couple of months back, it is fast, as for noticeable reduction in recoil damned if I can find it. In fairness this is my first semi-auto shotgun. For some reason I have a habit of dropping 2X rounds from the magazine when initially loading causing a pain in the ass lockup or inability to feed a round into the chamber. This is me and not the shotgun, I have a lifetime of use with the 870 and consider myself awkward att using the Beretta. The fiber front is slightly canted don’t look like much but when using it with the center mount bead very noticeable, for what Beretta wants the customer to pay for this shotgun I think it’s bs that it left Italy factory like this
