Shotguns are making quite the comeback in recent years. Somehow the gospel of the gauge has reached the ears of shooters, and more and more are adopting the tactical shotgun for home defense needs. It helps that shotguns have gotten considerably better in the last few years, and semi-auto shotguns have reached a point of reliability where they can be trusted for the task of home and self-defense.<\/p>\n

In 2023 you have plenty of shotgun options. I wouldn\u2019t say too many, but enough that it would be difficult to combine pumps and semi-autos without producing a multi-thousand-word attack on tactical shotguns. Let\u2019s focus on those modern semi-auto shotguns today, and we\u2019ll tackle pump actions another day.<\/p>\n

Beretta 1301 Shotgun<\/h2>\n

The Beretta 1301<\/a> series have really helped revive the world of semi-auto tactical shotguns. The 1301 series are gas-operated guns that use Beretta\u2019s innovative gas system they refer to as the BLINK system. This gas system is not only incredibly reliable but roughly 35% faster cycling than most semi-auto shotguns.<\/p>\n
