Beretta 1201 fp police trade in

I have one that I bought new with the combination stock. They are a great option for a home defense gun.

Gone.

There are usually a few listed on Gunbroker.

Too bad that the field 1200/1201 has a small barrel ring, effectively preventing mag tube extensions. I'd love to use it for 3-gun but now it's a waterfowl and spare shotgun for me. A very nice and reliable one at that.

If I ever chose a semi-auto in riot configuration that Beretta would be high on my list since I don’t like mag extensions at all.. I much prefer a four shot tube for close quarters work - but that’s just my personal opinion. Add a butt cuff with five extra rounds and a sling... I’d be ready to go on the street.

After writing this I checked out the used offerings cited above and realized that none of them appear to show a four shot tube... so back to the drawing board for me...

The 1201F has and can be plugged to two round capacity. Much like all standard length S90/Montefeltro/Centro/etc. tubes regardless of barrel ring diameter. AFAIK, 1201FP large ring tube is 5 or 6 rounds.

There is one on consignment at Shootin' Den in Colorado Springs CO. 719-634-3331.
They don't open until Tuesday

I got 3 of the black on plastic trade-ins from a gunbroker seller a few years ago for a little over $300/ea (maybe as much as $350, can't remember exact amount). They looked like you'd expect from a issued gun that rode around in the trunk of a car. All cycled 1 1/8oz 2 3/4dram cheap birdshot w/o issue, something that I had read that they may have trouble with. Recoil is rough, but not as bad as a short 870 (18.5" 870 is not for me...). If I ever run across a deal on the choate pistol grip stocks I'd be all over that.
