A short 18.5″ barrel makes the 1301 Tactical an ideal shotgun in confined spaces, while enlarged controls allow for use with gloved hands. The integrated BLINK gas operating system, featuring a cross tube gas piston, allows the 1301 Tactical to cycle 36% faster than any other shotgun on the market.
