Supposedly Garand Thumb has a video drop today some time on one, but he has never been gifted a gun he did not like😂🤣😂TFBtv did a totally useless comparison video last week. A stock A300 vs. a langdon pimped 1301.
Guess we know who sponsored the video but it doesn't tell us any about how the stock A300 compares to a stock 1301.
Yeah, saw that too. Made me wonder if I spent too much on my stock 1301 that's just sitting in the corner collecting dust since the A300 could do that for less and not require accessories to get a light installed.TFBtv did a totally useless comparison video last week.

I saw that video as well. Obviously it’s going to favor the 1301 when they were hosted at LTT and Beretta’s product manager was there.TFBtv did a totally useless comparison video last week. A stock A300 vs. a langdon pimped 1301.

Hell TFB had me sold on one a couple months ago when they ran the piss out of one, just been waiting to see if any issues have popped up. Looks like it is a solid gun, picking mine up next Wednesday 🥳After seeing this video, I think I may want to get one!!
I think I paid like $1100 from Berelli last fall for my 1301. Checking prices today and they're all like $500 more. I'm glad to have the "better" one, but honestly the A300 is more shotgun than I expect to need. If that had been available when I was buying it's what I would have grabbed.Seems to be filling a niche, I think I saw a comment (maybe on Garandthumb's video?) about how the 1301 sales were hurting Benelli M4 sales, so they had to introduce the A300 in this configuration and then shift the price of the 1301 up some.
I don't know. Seems like a decent system and I am honest enough to say, I probably can't outrun either gas system, or afford to shoot enough ammo where any of the 1301's 'improvements/advantages' would shine. Then again, I am in that odd market of just under or around $1,000 for a semi. Much cheaper than that and it can become a headache, especially in adverse conditions.

I don't know. It's unfired. Like I said, even the A300 is likely more than I'll need. My getting a shotgun was more about filling the hole in that category since I didn't have one.Ah, another case of woulda, coulda, shoulda for me. I remember the 1301s have had critical acclaim for a few years now and they seem to be a remarkably well done platform. Oh well, I will just have to count my pennies and get what I can.
Out of curiosity, how does your 1301 like cheaper ammo that isn't buck/slugs?
Good question. I have a ton of cheap WM bulk bird shot, Win and Fed, and use this for cheap practice and to get round count up on my guns while breaking them in. I’ve had zero issues with either brand 7.5 or 8 birdshot in my 1301. I’ve also run a bit of Rio and Federal LE buck, again no issues.Out of curiosity, how does your 1301 like cheaper ammo that isn't buck/slugs?

I think I’m just shy of 300rd now through my LTT 1301, the vast majority was cheap birdshot.
