The Beretta 1301 Tactical Mod 2 has a strong following among those who want a fast-cycling semi-auto shotgun for home defense or competition use. Owners frequently comment on how quickly the action cycles compared to other gas-operated platforms, which is one of the primary reasons people choose this model over cheaper alternatives.

The M-Lok forend on the Mod 2 update is well received, with owners noting it is a clear improvement over the original forend for attaching lights and other accessories. Ghost Ring Sights are praised for quick acquisition in low-light scenarios. A recurring complaint is that the 1301 Tactical C Mod 2 can be picky about low-powered or low-brass loads, functioning best with standard or higher-pressure ammunition.

At its price point the 1301 Tactical C Mod 2 sits in a competitive segment and owners are generally satisfied with the build quality relative to cost. The Black finish holds up well in typical storage and handling conditions. The main dissatisfaction comes from those who expected the action to run flawlessly on light target loads right out of the box without a break-in period.
