So, without turning this in to a 1301 thread, a couple of things worth mentioning as I know these are gaining in popularity. I put over 100 rounds through it after purchase today and it ran flawlessly, as they are known to. I’m used to a 590, so recoil impulse was comparatively pleasant.
However, the 7+1 stock mag tube is anything but that. This is a version that has a factory “7 round” mag tube (gen3? Enhanced? LE? I don’t know!) I had one, one load (Rio target #8) that fit 7 rounds and just barely. Every normal 2-3/4” load of buck, slugs, bird (I had nearly a dozen varieties with me) is going to be a 6+1 scenario. That is, unless you remove the mag tube spring retainer and just use the threaded shroud as a keeper. Boom, 7+1. Minor, but still, wtf Beretta?!? Will the extra 3/4” make a difference in function? I doubt it, but I’ll find out.
This version also has a polymer barrel/mag-tube clamp that some have voiced concerns over. I fired 35 rounds in quick succession to get the barrel spit sizzling hot. No loosening, no play, no issues. There are steel inserts for the screws and QD sling mounts, though the m-lok mounting points are straight polymer. It’s probably some glass fiber reinforced stuff if they have it clamped to the barrel. I’d trust it as much as much as an aluminum one, for now. Word of caution, because of the polymer mag-tube shroud, the aluminum Nordic clamp that comes with their +2 extension and can be bought separately, will not fit without modifications.
I know this through research, not first-hand.
Overall, I’m beyond happy with the purchase. Especially given the rarity and cost of +2 extensions. I can’t outrun it, I tried. It’s fast, light (because of the polymer), maneuverable, and reliable. I have a 590 and a 28” Turkish POS for turkey hunting, this is a horse of a different color. I run my shotguns a lot, so there may be a long-term revisit down the road. I’ll see just how reliable these dang plastic guns are.
Yes, it’s destined for a red dot and a sling. Also, probably some esstac shot cards with the velcro, and yes, I have been watching TFB on the youtubes. Imitation and flattery and what not.
Merry Christmas to me!

Clearly a work in progress….but it’s coming together nicely.
