Beretta 1301 Comp
This gun is absolutely gorgeous. I showed up to my first 3 gun competition and pull out this beauty. One of the top shooters comes over and asks me if this was a Hayes. So thank you For at least making me look like a pro.
*** NOTE ***
As of July 1st 2025, the 1301 Comp and Comp Pro are no longer being imported into the U.S. market. We are now using the A400 as the base gun for our Beretta Competition Shotgun builds. The A400 is virtually identical to the 1301 Comp Pro with the only differences being a 26" barrel and a silver receiver. This gun shoots and handles just as well as the 1301 Comp Pro, and when you are behind the gun there is no discernible difference in how the two guns shoot.

The Beretta 1301 Comp Pro is a very popular choice among action shotgun shooters from international IPSC competition to American 3-gun. We take the reliable and fast cycling 1301 platform and improve it where it needs improvement the most: the loading port. We open the loading port higher and further forward than anyone else, and the result is a gun that loads as fast as it shoots. The shell carrier (lifter) stays halfway up during loading, which yields less spring resistance when loading, and provides the ability to continue loading after short-stroking a shell during reloading.
The 1301 Comp Pro has many desirable features right out of the box, so the list of modifications we perform is shorter than with some other shotguns. Our 1301 Competition shotgun includes:
Current lead time is approximately 12 weeks.
