Overview

Designed for the Beretta 1301 platform, this latch-and-shroud upgrade addresses the shell-dump issue described in the product information by replacing the OEM latch with a redesigned part and protecting it with the included shroud. It is intended for tactical- and competition-style use, where reliable shell control matters during fast handling and repeated loading. Developed by Tom Jones and built by Aridus Industries, it offers a focused solution for owners who want to improve the shotgun’s operating setup without changing the gun’s core role. The result is a practical add-on for serious 1301 users looking to reduce a known malfunction point.
