To the self-interested amazement of many, the disdain of some purists, and the joy of almost all enthusiasts in seeing the horizons and the possibilities of appropriately using different varieties of weapons expanded, years ago the Dynamic Shot: this wording has gathered under its aegis those who little devoted to the elegant and perfect stillness of classic competitive shooting have poured into this team where reactivity, boldness, determination form the technical and psychophysical baggage to make a good impression. We remember when a few decades ago the only hypothesis of a shot outside theUITS extension was opposed by several Section Presidents, while others saw various positive concepts in this expansion: first of all the certain and sure expansion of the number of practitioners, therefore a more solid contractual basis towards the Officials, a congruous opening for manufacturers of weapons to which if the business goes well, consequently the possibilities of the enthusiasts are also good, lastly a concept that we consider vital and that is that if something does not cause damage and is legally feasible, the concession to practice what it is pleasant and fun. Sports practice and even more a healthy competitive spirit are formative in a broad sense and the different branches of shooting are strongly instilling the concept of the intrinsic danger of weapons and therefore empowering those who use them, then there are many other things, but we believe that those who follow us has already fully made them his own.
La Beretta has reappeared in the Tactical sector, which it had left years ago, shrewdly inserting itself also in the contiguous one of the Competition with this new series of rifles derived from its latest generation semiautomatic, thatA400 Xplor Unique in which all the best technological prerogatives developed over time have been added. The carcass obtained by milling from an extruded aeronautical aluminum alloy follows the original design and structure with strength and low weight: you immediately notice the increased dimensions and the profiles specially designed for the various commands so as to allow the shooter to perform with safety the various phases of handling the shotgun in the shooting environment. We therefore observe the expulsion window amply dimensioned and with the external profile carefully beveled in order not to offer any obstacle to the escape of the cartridge case; the cocking lever inserted in the slide is also oversized and with a cone profile for a secure grip as well as the lower button for releasing the shutter from the bottom stroke for cocking. In the lower part you can see the access window to the tubular magazine placed under the barrel, here of the type with extension to hold 5 + 1 12/76 gauge charges: the dipper is chromed for a better smoothness of the cartridges and the double corrugation guide profile the finger to necessarily center the focal point where to insert them. The ceiling of the castle shows the threaded holes necessary for an easy assembly of optical aiming systems, but there is already an excellent line of sight with the ventilated rib, opacified and equipped with a jump a few cm after its start that favors the grip aiming at the line, the brass intermediate front sight and the red fiber optic sight mounted at the apex. Still in the castle, behind the loading slot, there is the trigger group obtained from a polymer molding that boasts low cost, more than adequate strength and correct response to the shot: the set includes the guard with the transverse button of the safety , and the trigger is curved and in a retracted position to facilitate its use even with small hands.
Technology:
The reset system is based on the Blink, a complex of devices with the rotating head shutter with two front wings and the support carriage connected by a solid single piece, consisting of a tube and two parallel rods, to the self-cleaning piston inserted in the bell. of the gas intake, welded under the barrel: the speed of the system boasts a cycle time 36% shorter than the best competitor, thus allowing series of 4 shots in less than a second. This operation exploits the functional extraction nail mounted on the head and the ejection tooth embedded inside the castle. The 53,5 cm (21 ") barrel uses the Steelium classification that connotes in Beretta those artifacts obtained from a company heritage of knowledge for which special steels, operational treatments such as cryogenic stress relieving after machining, and progressive drilling diameters always guarantee results a little ahead of the standard which are associated with the uniformity of patterns allowed by the Optimabore interchangeable chokes HP, equally studied in size, material and perforations to simply offer the best. The two-piece stock is the connection, today we would say the interface, between the rifle and the shooter: the stock stands out above all for the size and shape of the pistol, a study borrowed from the needs of tactical weapons that has also found consensus in the hunting and, to some extent, for skeet shooting: it allows an ergonomic grip by positioning the hand in the optimal way to hold the weapon and act without jerking the trigger. Thus the prismatic shaft with longitudinal shells and rounded bottom is also functional, on which the weak hand acts with a secure grip to direct the shot and counteract the recoil: here the non-slip and energy-absorbing butt plate and the highly gripping printed knurling intervene. even with dirty and wet hands. The sizes of the stock are adjustable with the special inserts to adapt it to your physical features.
To finish ..
The presentation of this Mod. 1301 Comp it took place in a sporting and competitive key: this does not mean that it is perfectly adequate for home defense as well as for police operating in spaces and contexts suitable for smooth-bore. Finally, we point out that ammunition loaded with steel shot can also be used, finding the calming lily punch of the BNP on the barrel.
