the a300 is a much better deal. the 1301 tac has gotten over $1600 now. a few things you didnt mention were the chrome lined and better barrel on the 1301, as well as the longer throat of the system makes the shotgun last longer and more reliable. The 1301 is just overall much more quality parts and the best operating system you can get. The ultima is the better deal at $899 retail though.

I have the 1301 Tactical Marine which has a silver in color finish that’s supposed to hold up better around salt water. I wanted to get the OD green one but couldn’t find it at that time but at the day what difference does color make? Absolutely none. This is an amazing shotgun and while the M4 is considered the king in this category I have had both and would take the Beretta every time, it’s lighter, more comfortable to handle and I’ve never had a failure in more than a thousand rounds whereas the M4 seems a bit more ammo selective. Beretta is one of the best manufacturers in the world when it comes to forearms and the 1301 is a prime example of that.

I think you did an excellent job pointing out the value features of the 1301 while showing the high function of the more economical 300. Both very nice firearms. I'm in Canada and not sure either of these are legal here; they'd have to have a 'factory mod' to 6 max, (I think for Canada) but Mee-Likey!

You do obviously have more versatility, but if you will actually make use this feature is the question. Officer Greg, of Taofledermous fame, did a review on his channel of a choke tube designed to tighten up Buckshot patterns & reduce recoil that was interesting, but it is not compatible with slugs.

Nice comparison. Since you've posted this video, Beretta came out with the 1301 Mod.2 which now includes features borrowed from the A300UP plus an improved loading gate. Given a price difference of $850, do you think it's worth the move to a 1301 Mod.2? Also, that $850 premium includes a pistol stock. I'm still on the fence about having a pistol stock on a tactical shotgun. Prons and cons, I guess. Also, on the A300UP, do you know if the gray finish is Cerakote?

I would have thought that it would have been the opposite considering the enlarging of the loading port they did with cutting extra material away on the Ultima Patrol.

What he doesn’t discuss is that the 1301 is an import and can’t have certain features . Adding those features costs a few hundred more. The A300 is made in the US and comes with all the features that aren’t allowed on an import . If Nordic Components even has the parts in stock , they are pricey. Hopefully, someone makes a Magpul adapter for the A300. I can’t drop 2k with taxes , fees ( CA) and after market parts on a 1301. I had one in my cart last year for$1200. With shipping , taxes , fees and FFL it was around $1500. Then add mag extension , barrel clamp etc, stock , adaptor etc.

Honest question here. If the military figured a gas system was more reliable in stressful situations 6:55 (where you might not have it pulled in to your shoulder tight...or you change the weight by adding accesories thus changing the reliability of inertia shotguns) then wouldn't the M4 or 1301 be significantly more reliable than the a300? Ie. Wouldn't a gas system be more reliable? No one should use light birdshot in self defense situations anyways so i don't really care if any of these guns have problems with range ammo.

The one thing that the A300 has over the 1301 is the fact because it’s made in the USA, it can come with a 7+1 capacity. The 1301 is made in Italy which is restricted to 5+1 capacity and you’ll most likely have to spend additional money for an extension tube to make it 7+1 or whatever capacity you like. From my point of view I’d take the A300 just for that reason but if you have plenty of money you already got a 1301 and don’t care.
