Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Beretta 1301 Comp Pro KO different from the standard 1301 Comp?
The KO (Kick-Off) variant builds on the standard 1301 Comp by adding an enhanced stock system designed to reduce perceived recoil, allowing faster target reacquisition between shots. It also ships with the enlarged loading port, oversized bolt release, and oversized cocking handle as standard features — components many competitors would otherwise install as aftermarket upgrades. The result is a truly competition-ready shotgun that requires little to no modification out of the box.
What type of ammunition does the Beretta 1301 Comp Pro cycle reliably?
The 1301 Comp Pro is optimized for standard 12-gauge 2¾-inch target loads commonly used in competition, typically in the 1,200–1,300 fps range. Beretta's BLINK gas-operated system is highly efficient and generally handles a wide spectrum of loads from light target shells to heavier field loads. For best reliability in competition, stick to quality promotional or target loads from reputable manufacturers, and break the gun in with a box or two before your first match.
Can I add a magazine tube extension to increase capacity beyond 10+1?
Yes — the 1301 Comp Pro's magazine tube is compatible with several aftermarket extension kits from brands like Beretta, Nordic Components, and others, allowing you to tailor capacity to your specific competition division rules. Keep in mind that California law and your specific shooting division's rulebook may impose magazine capacity restrictions, so always verify legal and regulatory requirements before installing an extension.
