Just by way of clarification, this is the generic means for any autoloader. For the 1301T in particular you can just use the shell release button on the base of the lifter.
Hey John, another great shotgun vid. You are on a roll. 👍👍👍 I’m actually surprised you used the same technique that I’ve been using. I thought you’d be popping the first round onto the lifter with the lifter release button instead of pulling the trigger. Of course, by pulling the trigger you drop the hammer and release tension on its associated spring. I doubt that having the hammer cocked is bad though and have been considering changing to a lifter release button method. It’s very little, but the bolt racking force would have to be less since you’re not cocking the hammer. It’s already cocked. Plus, it’s been causing me some stress, as careful as I am to assure an empty chamber and lifter, just like you did, when I drop that hammer inside my house. Sometimes I take it out in the backyard and do it. Also, I know that some semi-auto shotguns are different. The Remington 1100/11-87 has a totally different way of feeding the first shell out of the magazine. I’m out of town, but when I get back, I’ll play around with the Rem and get back with you. For certain though, this press the trigger or the lifter release does not work on the 1100/11-87. For one thing, they have a bolt release located in the middle of the lifter, but not shell release on the lifter. Makes me wonder how other 1301 peeps extract that first shell. 🤔
OK, back home. Sure enough, with the 11/87, dropping the hammer only drops the hammer. It does not release the first round onto the lifter. There is only one other button to push, and that is the bolt release. All that does is release the bolt. Who’d a thunk? Thus, when you load the magazine, tubular BTW, to store without a round in the chamber, you must start from a condition of the first round still in the mag and not on the lifter. To load a round, you must first pull back on the bolt handle. This releases the first round from the mag tube onto the lifter and locks the bolt back. Next, and a secondary manipulation, you must hit the bolt release on the lifter to release the bolt and chamber that first round. Count em. That is two manipulations to the Beretta 1301’s one. This is one reason why I’ve picked my 1301 as my standby shotgun.
I came here to say this, glad you clarified this particular point for the 1301. No need to pull the trigger on this particular gun to get it cruiser ready.
I thought you could just load one to the lifter from the port, holding it down while closing the bolt. Just like Ghost loading but no round in the chamber.(don't pull the bolt too far back or it will activate the lifter) So you don't leave an empty space in the tube. This way you can do it with safety on and never touch the trigger. Then you can choose if you want to leave the safety on or not. I do believe this method is good for at least both M4 and 1301.

John I have carried a pistol everyday for 36 years, handled AR’s and hunting rifles ready. I have shotguns but never practiced enough with them. I ordered and I am waiting on a Beretta 1301 Tactical LTT Elite (hopefully be here in a few weeks). This video in particular is very helpful to me as our all your shotgun video’s, good job and thank you!
Besides the carrier stop push button others have mentioned, you can de-cock the shotgun by pulling back on the cocking handle slightly (to take the bolt out of battery) and then safely pull the trigger as well.
I keep hearing the term "cruiser ready" and been meaning to look it up, but never think of it when I have a moment. Now I know; thank you! I had no idea that if the trigger was is that position, the gate would not drop to allow a round in the chamber.
The 1301 can be ghost loaded, just dont pull the bolt back all the way and put the shell in on the lifter though the ejection port. I have been runing a 1301 for over a year now and loaded it this way hundreds of times with no issues.
I'm Tim Chandler of Justified Defensive Concepts. You do not need to press the trigger on the 1301 to release a shell on the lifter. There is a button at the back of the lifter that will accomplish that. ***NEVER*** press the trigger on a shotgun that has shells in it. To set a pump gun up for cruiser ready, properly clear the weapon, dryfire a shot in a safe direction, and then load the magazine. For the 1301 you simply have to load the shells you want in the magazine and then press the shell release button and one will drop on the lifter.
I’m Brian Anderson of Wisconsin in the United States of America on planet Earth of the Milky Way Galaxy. You can press the trigger on a 1301 to release a shell on the lifter. Yes there is a button at the back of the lifter that will accomplish that too. I pull the trigger for 90% of the shells that go in my shotgun.

I've slammed mossbergs and berrettas down countless times while in the field bird hunting and I mean hard! Never once had it go off on its own. Its more an issue with old wore out shotguns. Not saying it couldn't happen with a newer shotgun but I have never seen one go off from simply falling over or getting dropped on the ground. It's always because some dumb ass had their finger in the trigger guard when they go down.
I like it your way ASPextra. I have a Beretta A300 and if you don't pull the trigger after getting it cruiser ready the hammer will always be in the cocked position with tension on the hammer spring.
Of course not all shotguns work the same. My Mossy 930 doesn’t work like this. The way I do it with that is on the last shell I push it in just far enough to allow the lifter to come up. Then I simply allow the shell to push back out of the mag and on top of the lifter. I leave the chamber empty and safety engaged. If I would need it, all I need to do is rack that shell in and disengage the safety when ready to fire. Pumps are different as he stated.
Same exact thing for a pump only they rack differently. You still gotta pull the trigger on a full tube but empty chamber and then set it where ya want and then when you need it all ya gotta do is pump and pull the trigger
THE 1301 HAS A SHELL RELEASE BUTTON THAT WILL PUT A SHELL ON THE LIFTER. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRESS THE TRIGGER. PRESSING THE TRIGGER ON A SHOTGUN WITH SHELLS IN IT IS A BAD IDEA.
That Shotgun Blog small silver tab at the rear of the loading port, right in front of the trigger guard. Don’t know if it was that way on the gen 1 however.

Granted, I have an AR ready to for home defense instead of a shotgun, but I bought a hornady rapid safe (there are other brands that would work too), and bolted it to the floor under my bed. Every night, I pop it open, and ever morning, I close it. If you are leaving a shotgun loose in the closet, maybe try a rapid safe? You wont have to worry about it getting dropped, because it just sits in the safe, and its harder to steal, and small child safe. Just a thought.
Monica Perez I have a finger print activated handgun safe in the living room, but I am actively trying to get better about carrying my ccw even while home.
@@fnkdtnk Think that's an excellent game plan as you never know when you are going to step out on short notice. Think in terms of that you are not dressed until you're holstered up!
Why not just keep one in the chamber? Is this setup primarily for LE and individuals concerned with others getting ahold of their firearm? It seems to me that having the safety off and having to rack one is slower than keeping one in the chamber and pressing the safety.
Safety only prevents movement of the trigger, firing pin can move independently regardless of the position of the safety. Shotguns in the field have a long history of accidental discharges when dropped, regardless of the status of the safety. Modern service pistols are expected to withstand rougher treatment and tend to have a positive firing pin lock that requires deliberate manipulation of the trigger to disengage. Shotgun designs almost universally lack this feature and hence are not drop safe, nor even “topple” safe.
If it's Beretta then no need to adopt that lengthy & risky process, simply just press the little locking button underneath where you insert the shell and it will be ready for racking the bolt to feed the battery.
@@ASPextra With a pump action, such as a slicked 870, depending upon how that pump gun is stored/transported, that unlocked action can unintentionally open. That is why I prefer storing a pump gun with an empty chamber and a locked action. Yeah, the release needs to be pressed before the rack...big deal...that is how I roll...870, 590, whatever. That said, semiauto I setup similar to your demo.
Gonna have to agree with User 1 on this one. Locked in a rack that physically prevents movement, bolt unlocked is definitely simpler. Loose in a closet, a slick action means you will often find that forend has begun to work its way to the rear, or will do so when you go to pick it up. If you handle it muzzle up in that “cruiser ready” condition it is likely to open unless positively held shut. The origin of “cruiser ready” includes the concept that the overwhelming number of cruiser racks wrapped around the barrel and magazine BENEATH the forend, preventing any rearward/downward motion until released. The configuration of cruiser interiors strongly favored removing the shotgun by pressing the release switch while simultaneously grasping the forend and pulling. This would naturally keep the forend closed until both hands had grasped the weapon. From there the situation dictated handling, but the gun could be pumped and fired rapidly with a minimum of manipulation.
I had spaced that you ran an auto, and was confused how the video needed to be almost 5 minutes long. =) Good info if I ever join the late 19th Century.
Why not leave the bolt locked to the rear, safety on, then ready it by dropping the single in the open port and dropping the bolt? That's how I've always loaded the chamber of any autoloader with an automatic magazine cutoff.
@@ASPextra thats valid. I still feel more comfortable locking the bolt back and loading a single when it's go time than dry firing. Dry firing a weapon with a loaded magazine while not on a range gives me the eeby jeebys tbh. If I was a student using my method would you try to dissuade me or would you let me train my way?
I did this as a generic, but with the 1301 specifically you can hit the shell release button on the bottom of the lifter and it releases without pressing the trigger.

I’m not saying this is the case for every shotgun, just mine and that’s a good reason why I utilize it. Every time I take a shot it goes exactly where my sights are aimed every time.
