Description
The Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301 Beretta 1301 3-inch 7 + 1 18.50-inch is a factory-upgraded semi-auto shotgun built for reliable defensive use. Langdon Tactical takes the proven Beretta 1301 Mod 2 platform and enhances it with their Pro Lifter, a semi-flat trigger with a Langdon Tactical Trigger Job, an LTT Super Duty front sight, an LTT heat shield, a Magpul stock, and a Beretta Patrol forend. This combination delivers faster follow-up shots, improved ergonomics, and rugged durability right out of the box. Per Langdon Tactical specs, the receiver is black anodized aluminum with an integrated Picatinny rail, and the 18.50-inch barrel is threaded for Beretta’s Optima choke system. It ships with a 7-round magazine tube and a Condition 1 hard-sided case, making it a ready-to-run tactical shotgun for home defense, range training, or competition.

Key Features
- Langdon Pro Lifter — WHY IT MATTERS: This redesigned lifter eliminates the risk of pinching your fingers during fast reloads, so you can load shells quickly under stress without slowing down.
- Langdon Tactical Trigger Job — WHY IT MATTERS: A semi-flat trigger with a smoother pull and shorter reset helps you stay on target for faster, more accurate follow-up shots, especially when teaching new shooters.
- LTT Super Duty Front Sight — WHY IT MATTERS: A bright, high-visibility front sight makes target acquisition instinctive in low-light conditions, giving you confidence in home-defense scenarios.
- Magpul SGA Stock & Beretta Patrol Forend — WHY IT MATTERS: The Magpul stock adjusts length of pull for smaller or larger shooters, while the Patrol forend provides a secure grip even with wet hands, making the shotgun comfortable for the whole family to shoot.
- Integrated Picatinny Rail & Optima Choke Threads — WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount a red dot or light without aftermarket adapters, and swap chokes to tailor patterns for buckshot, birdshot, or slugs at different distances.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for families and beginners who want a reliable, easy-to-use defensive firearm that grows with their skills. The adjustable stock fits shooters from teens to adults, and the Pro Lifter and trigger job reduce the learning curve for new shooters. It’s also a great choice for youth shooters moving up from a 20-gauge, thanks to the low recoil impulse of the Beretta gas system and the ergonomic controls.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory-upgraded with proven components — no need to send it out for modifications.
- Pro: Lightweight at around 6.8 pounds, easy to handle for smaller-framed shooters.
- Pro: Ships with a hard case and 7-round tube, so you’re ready to train or compete right away.
- Con: The 18.50-inch barrel and full-length magazine tube make it less suited for hunting upland birds or waterfowl where longer barrels and higher capacity restrictions apply.

FAQ
Will this shotgun fit youth shooters or smaller-framed family members?
Yes. The Magpul SGA stock adjusts for length of pull (from about 12 to 14 inches), so it can be shortened for younger or smaller shooters. The gas-operated action also reduces felt recoil, making it more comfortable for beginners.
Can I mount a red dot or light on this shotgun?
Absolutely. The receiver has an integrated Picatinny rail for optics, and the Beretta Patrol forend accepts M-LOK accessories for mounting a light or laser. No additional adapters needed.
What chokes does it use, and can I shoot slugs?
It uses Beretta’s Optima choke system. You can shoot slugs through a cylinder or improved cylinder choke, and swap to a tighter choke for birdshot or buckshot patterns. The barrel is threaded to accept any Optima choke tube.
Is this shotgun legal for 3-gun competition?
Yes, the 18.50-inch barrel and 7+1 capacity make it legal in most 3-gun divisions (check your specific rules). The Pro Lifter and trigger job give you a competitive edge right out of the box.
Does the LTT1301 come with a warranty?
Langdon Tactical Technologies covers this shotgun under their standard warranty for defects in materials and workmanship. Beretta also backs the original 1301 components. Details are included in the box.
