Langdon Tactical is impressive no matter what gun they’re slicking up. But I view Ernest Langdon as a Beretta smith. The 92 and Px4 Compact Carry models are expensive but so worth it.
I love my ARs, AKs and my Galil Ace, but when it comes down to the brass tax I'm a shotgun man. The first long gun I purchased legally when I was 18 was a 870 12 gauge. Right now my favorite in my collection is my Benelli m3 super 90 combat. With that said, I've always loved Beretta since I saw Die Hard as a kid and saw that old 92, but I've yet to have one of their shotguns in my collection, so I think that logically this one should be the first Beretta shotgun in my collection. I've heard great things about the 1301 and this year I'm gonna bite the bullet (no pun intended) and pick one of these up. Thank you for the video James, and keep up the good work. You have my dream job sir
I love shotguns and I have a few including NEW 2024 Beretta 1301 Tactical (Type 2) which is by far the best shotgun on market and I would say the best shotgun ever made. First I installed Magpul stock and Tricon MRO optic. New Beretta forend is beautiful and I would never change it. Trigger on my 1301 is perfect and I wouldn’t touch it except when I shot.
LTT 92fs trigger bar still the best aftermarket part I've ever bought. Not sure I ever had any complaints about the stock 1301 trigger though. I think it's nice stock. It's a shotgun after all.
Ya did good on the trigger question in this one....real good, I'm writing someone a letter about how well you're improving.....i feel like a mother watching her son blossom into a young man......ps, I absolutely love my 1301, changed out the stock and added the ext tube....still waiting for the magpul rail to come in stock, awesome product
Interesting fact, the latest Beretta 1301 Tactical LE version does not have interchangeable chokes. Pretty heavy walled barrel though and it is chrome lined.
That’s the one I got and it still has a pretty tight pattern shooting 00 Buck. Just shot it for the first time the other day and love it but I just ordered a limb saver cause it was beating my shoulder pretty good especially with Hornady Critical defense 00 buck @ 1600 fps.
@@ChrisWilliams-vm1do I know that, it's not my 1st rodeo. My point was the LE/Military variant is a fixed cylinder bore, the regular 1301 Tactical available to the public has removable chokes.
I bypassed LTT but did basically all the upgrades between GG&G, Aridus, and the Briley handguard. Personally, my favorite upgrade is GG&G's optic rail mount with the half ghost ring for the Holosun HE509T. Unless you're flush with cash and don't mind the extra weight of the Briley, I would pass on the Zhukov handguard and just stick with the OEM. Since the gen 3's barrel clamp can take an MLOK attachment, put your flashlight (I dig the Surefire Mini Scout) on the same side as your support hand and call it a day. For the side saddle, I actually like the less expensive, more securely attached, and lower-profile GG&G over Aridus' taped on detachable option....but it's a close call.
That's actually a decent price. A stock 1301 is around 1700 I think? Taran Butler takes a 550 dollar G34 and stipples it puts a trigger in it and charges 4000.
Have you come up with a better solution for a barrel clamp than the factory or GG&G one? The Nordic one has everything I’m looking for, but doesn’t fit the Gen “3”.
James, go to Mean Arms and make them give you a release date and price for the bearing delays 9mm. They've been teasing it for a few years now, and the people need to know.
Don't worry, this is just for the Instagram tactical crowd. AND the gun bunnies. Because nobody with real trigger time is going to buy this hot mess for 2200.00
Lol. Ernest wincing a little bit everytime James says 'Ernie'. He worked HARD to ditch that moniker about 8 years ago, and he knows it'll be back with a vengeance now.
I just don't care for the furniture choice. It's a build off what was available 2 years ago, not what's available now. I would rather have the Briley handguard with an Urbino pistol gripped stock than the Magpul accessories. The 1301 didn't have much love when it became popular. It has a lot of love now. Langdon is the "cutting edge elite series" over standard Beretta products and though that rings (nearly) completely true for Beretta 92s, this ain't it for the 1301. I get you could buy these parts aftermarket. Sure. Why would I want to be stuck with $330 of Magpul furniture I will never put back on and virtually noone with the ability to google "1301 handguards and stocks" will ever care to even buy them? I'd rather the shotgun cost $2300 than be stuck with random crap I have no use for and cannot sell and virtually wasted money on.
Jeff Cooper is gone, and Clint Smith is 114 years old. Who replaces them? Who has the potential to step into their shoes? I know who COULD/SHOULD do it: Ernest Langdon. Whether he will or not, is another story.....
@@fearlessleader8623 got that right. My brother just got an m4 but it doesn't have the telescoping stock. He did some research and found inside the fixed stock is the same rod the telescoping one uses so he just needs the actual stock. The benelli telescoping stock is $600.
I got this latest run of ltt 1301's a couple days ago and compared it to my dads stock 1301. The trigger job honestly is so subtle its hard to notice the difference while shooting.
A great video and a great very nice rifle. It is not a 40W range shotgun yet is it? Can you fancy Kevin Costner in the Highwaymen using this 1301Tactical Beretta instead of the Browning A5 in the final showdown? Have a good one.
Is this dude going on a picnic.........why the backpack? AND 2200.00 for a shotgun? This is where the Instagram tactical guys must buy from. Because no real world guy would pay 2200.00 for a "tactical shotgun." Trust me.
Then again, it's that much only if you get _everything_ LTT has to offer. The base model with maybe just the trigger job shouldn't cost nearly that much, it's not like you should limit yourself to a certain optic or a side saddle anyway
@@s00-x2h I can achieve the same results with a shotgun that holds more rounds and cost 1500.00 less. So can you. This is clearly for the 'super good looking tactical guys on Instagram......and their bought and paid for gun bunnies" NO real man would entertain this nonsense. Ask any Seal, and Delta and any Devgru guy......this is all for pussie and photos
First they came out with their own screw driver, and now Linus Tech Tips drops a tactical shotty on us. Wow! Bravo Linus.
maybe they'll release a case to go with their backpack.

Best video from SHOT so far. Thanks.
Awesome video. Pumped about OA compact pro
I have an LTT 92 RDO and it is phenomenal. This will probably be my next purchase
Damn.... Linus Tech Tips going hard for a canadian tech media company...

Looks like an amazing setup
Bought a 1301 because of the other video, it fucks. Gotta get that magpul magic though
Ah, I was thinking that the new screwdrivers were pretty good but that Linus Tech Tips going into shotguns was a bit of a departure
Love mine but I went with the briley handguard and replace the factory plastic magazine tube cover with an aluminum Milled one 👍

@@Vault_Metal I went with the Nordic components 🤔 aridus industries I believe makes one
Wish they would add the Briley Three gun forend
Anyone try the stock adapter from Rowe tactical? They look like the aridus but also seem to have the buffer as the gg&g and oem

James, go to Mean Arms and make them give you a release date and price for the bearing delays 9mm. They've been teasing it for a few years now, and the people need to know.
How about a Vang Comp barrel?
I want one. Are they in stock?
Ernest is the "Custom Shop", "Performance Center" for Beretta!! :)
Why do I have a LE version but the choke is fixed?
Which Holosun optic is that
Any chance of Ernest Langdon working his magic on a CX4 Storm? It would be a great compliment to his PX4 offerings.
Now ask him when he is going to get his magic hands on the new Cheetah ;)
Hard-mounted side saddles are antiquated, get that scattergat some Velcro placards ASAP.
Don't worry, this is just for the Instagram tactical crowd. AND the gun bunnies. Because nobody with real trigger time is going to buy this hot mess for 2200.00
I’ve found the velcro Esstac shell holders to be excellent.
Lol. Ernest wincing a little bit everytime James says 'Ernie'. He worked HARD to ditch that moniker about 8 years ago, and he knows it'll be back with a vengeance now.
What specific shells should you use for rapid fire? I am having a hard time controlling the recoil when I rapid fire.
Wait so the gen 3 1301 is made in America or assembled in America using what parts still made in italy?
Does the LTT stand for anything?
Is it any different from the 1301?
Don't forget to add the markup on LTT cost. Everyone needs gross margin.
First he broke into the screwdriver industry and now this 😂
Were his screwdrivers 500.00 bucks?
Who did?
@@JEJAK5396 if you know you know
@@benburnett8109 100 bucks for one and you had to wait 2 months to get it

How do you tell the difference between a Gen 2 and Gen 3 😅
An incredible shotgun.
Now do this with the browning a5 and that amazing auto feed they have.
Goddamnit...
Now I gotta buy a shotgun.
If it's the LTT edition shouldn't it be orange?
I love mine. Prefer it over the m4 hydro I had.
That’s saying something.
@@Sheltowee1775 definitely.
What red dot is that?
Add a BIRDS head grip and iam sold on it. Iam looking for a new semi auto Boom stick this year
$2200???? Bruh I would rather buy the Benelli M4 or a future M5
Finally. An intelligent comment.
$2200 is for "everything" though, and pretty much everything aside from the stock, handguard, and trigger job is not that useful anyway
You will want to trick out your m4 too and trust me it will be a lot more expensive than $2200 when you are done

trick question because james already ordered one in magenta
They should do a signature pink 1301 called gun shorts 💜
Love Linus tech tips, surprised to see them get into the gun world
New? But I got an LTT 1301 in summer 2020. Oh, so they tuned up the trigger. Well, time to get another LTT 1301.
I got this latest run of ltt 1301's a couple days ago and compared it to my dads stock 1301. The trigger job honestly is so subtle its hard to notice the difference while shooting.
just send yours in for the trigger job
god damn that's a nice shotgun
Is Clint ok?
Don’t know if that’s beating my freedom Tactical /rx arms Benelli M4
Ernie: I believe this is the best tactical shotgun on the market, bar none.
Benelli M4 owners: Them's fightin' words.
Great guy!
I dig it and I want one!
Everyone who watched the CarryTrainer interview understands Earnest's face when James calls him "Earni"
I was thinking the same thing. I thought he did cringe a little bit every time.
Who wants to bet Ernie actually sends James a magenta 1301?
In Ernie we trust. #LTT
Maybe it's just me but I was disappointed that the 1301 has a polymer tube and sights instead of aluminum. Just my two cents.
WANT.
So this or the beretta comp pro 🤔 😅
Anyone who is able to find an answer to this conundrum 🤔? Greatly appreciated 😅
That thing is beautiful 😍❤️
Give James his Magenta 1301 pls.
Nice rucksack dude
Plastic barrel clamp and tube cover gotta go.... Gg&g offer aluminum for both... Langdon should add this option
Ernie didn’t know exactly what magenta was…but he had a feeling it was something poofy.
Better than the m4 for the money? 🤔
It’s Ernest.
Why the hell would they change from the Airdus side saddle to the gg&g side sadle? I think thats a HUGE step back!
AIMPOINT P2 mount
If I could find a damn 1301 in the first place…
Really wanted the LTT 1301T until they ditched Airidus...
What a money grab lol. That point I’m just getting an M4.

been wanting a 1301 for a while now theyre so sexy

$400 for a trigger upgrade? For a shotgun?
For precision work.
Whats the low mount for that holosun?
The low mount for that holosun is a waste of time.
LoL...he avoids mentioning Aridus and only mentions GG&G. I wonder why!? Wink wink.
