Benelli M4-Beretta 1301 Battle - Top Tactical 12 gauge?

[Talyn]

Introduced in 1999, the Benelli M4 has long been regarded as the best semi-automatic tactical 12-gauge shotgun. Later, Benelli’s parent company Beretta released the semi-automatic 12-gauge 1301 Tactical, creating a more affordable alternative to the M4.

The question is: does it hold up to the legendary status of the M4?

I prefer my Benelli M2 Tactical!

I’m good with the 1301 T.

I’ll let you know my opinion when I get my M4.

I’ve had the 1301 for years and absolutely love mine. It’s light, swings fast and hits hard. Action is unbelievably fast. M4 is a great shotgun but built heavier to be Marine proof

My observations are the same. And I’ve run the **** out of my 1301T and never a hiccup.

There is a suitable task for both the 1301 and the M4.
