A replacement handguard on the Beretta 1301 gives your forward hand a better contact surface, adds M-Lok slots for a hand stop or barricade stop, and improves how the gun handles through the positional demands of IPSC Shotgun stages. The 1301 is a fast-cycling gas-operated semi-auto designed and used in IPSC Shotgun -- the handguard is the primary control surface for the forward hand across everything from running arrays to port entries to barricade work. Getting the forward hand position right is a direct competition improvement.
