Sidearms & Scatterguns Beretta 1301 Comp Pro...looking for feedback

[NavyshooterM40]

Thinking about getting a Beretta 1301 Comp Pro with 21in barrel for 3-gun. Anybody use one? Looking for feedback Pros/Cons.
Currently have a Remington Versa-Max for some reason it doesn't shoot slugs past 50 yards with any accuracy or consistency.
Thanks

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

I use the 1301 tactical for 3gun just fine. Love the hell out of it. I have Holosun 507 and tricked out with Magpul forend and stock. It is stupid fast but practice reloads is the key as always.

You can unscrew the front sight, apply weak thread locker and then screw it back in clocking it straight. The OEM fiber optic front sucks anyways. It fouls fast and the fiber becomes dim necessitating regular cleaning. Get a HiViz front or something with a longer fiber optic rod if you want to avoid the dimming. The front half of the HiViz fiber rod will foul, but the remaining half remains unfouled and will collect enough light.
