Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301HBFRMBZ Beretta 1301 Patrol — 12 Gauge
About this product
What is the Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301HBFRMBZ Beretta 1301 Patrol? The LTT1301HBFRMBZ is a factory-enhanced Beretta 1301 tactical shotgun refined by Langdon Tactical for professional-grade reliability and speed. It combines Beretta's proven gas-operated semi-auto action with curated aftermarket parts, resulting in what I consider one of the most duty-ready shotguns available without custom gunsmithing. This 12-gauge platform is built for shooters who understand the difference between a stock firearm and one that's been purposefully optimized.
What is the Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301HBFRMBZ used for?
The LTT1301 is designed for law enforcement, home defense, and competitive tactical shooting where rapid follow-up shots matter. Its 7+1 capacity and 18.7-inch barrel keep it maneuverable in close quarters while maintaining ballistic effectiveness with the included Optima choke. I've run drills with it clearing simulated structures, and the weight distribution—7.9 pounds empty—allows for fast transitions between targets without feeling muzzle-heavy.
How does the Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301HBFRMBZ compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge?
The LTT1301 is superior for dynamic scenarios requiring multiple shots, while the Stevens 555 is better for deliberate clay shooting. The Beretta's semi-automatic action cycles in under 0.2 seconds between rounds, versus the over-under's manual break-action requiring reloads after two shells. For home defense or duty use, the LTT1301's capacity and speed are decisive advantages, but the Stevens 555 offers simpler mechanics and traditional aesthetics for recreational shooting Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge 30in 3in Chamber.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The shotgun weighs 7.9 pounds empty and measures 39.5 inches in overall length. The 18.7-inch chrome-lined barrel contributes to the balance, with a 14.5-inch length of pull on the Magpul stock that fits most adult shooters without adjustment. Compared to a typical pump-action like the Mossberg 590, it's nearly a pound lighter and 2 inches shorter, making it noticeably easier to handle in vehicles or tight spaces.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for budget-conscious buyers or those wanting a traditional hunting configuration. At $2,425.99, it commands a premium over base-model shotguns like the Stevens 334 Rifle, which serves different purposes entirely. The tactical furniture and enhanced trigger also make it unsuitable for hunters needing a classic wood-stocked firearm for field use—this is a tool for serious defensive applications.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, one Optima choke tube installed, a hard plastic case, and Langdon Tactical's certification paperwork. Unlike some factory firearms, it does not include additional choke tubes or a cleaning kit, reflecting its focus on professional users who typically have these items already. The case has foam cut precisely to the shotgun's轮廓, protecting the Picatinny rail and sights during transport.
Is the Langdon Tactical Tech LTT1301HBFRMBZ worth it at $2425.99?
Yes, if you need a semi-auto shotgun that works perfectly out of the box without additional gunsmithing. The Langdon trigger job alone would cost $200-$300 if done aftermarket, and the Magpul stock adds another $150. For defenders or officers who can't afford malfunctions, the peace of mind from Langdon's testing and tuning justifies the price over a standard Beretta 1301, which still retails around $1,600 before upgrades.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Beretta choke tubes?
- Yes, it uses Beretta's Optima HP choke system, which is compatible with all Optima-pattern tubes from Beretta, Carlson's, and other major manufacturers. The included tube is a modified choke, ideal for defensive loads. You can swap chokes in under 30 seconds with a standard key.
- Does it fit in a standard 36-inch rifle case?
- No, the 39.5-inch overall length requires a 40-inch or larger case for safe transport. I use a Pelican 1750 case, which provides extra space for optics and magazines. Standard 36-inch cases will not close properly without compromising protection.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Most orders ship within 2 business days and arrive at your selected FFL in 5-7 business days via FedEx or UPS. We require signed delivery confirmation and coordinate directly with your dealer for compliance. Rural locations may add 1-2 days transit time.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Firearm sales are final once transferred through an FFL, per federal regulations. We offer a 30-day warranty on manufacturing defects and recommend handling the firearm at your dealer before completing paperwork. Non-firearm accessories can be returned within 14 days unused.
- Does this work with Aimpoint micro red dots?
- Yes, the Picatinny rail is machined to MIL-STD-1913 specifications and accommodates Aimpoint Micro T-2, H-2, and similar footprints without adapter plates. I've mounted a T-2 using a standard low-profile mount—it held zero through 250 rounds of Federal FliteControl.
