Hey guys,
Nothing fancy. My buddy Dan brought his new 1301 in and I do a once over comparing it to my modified older model. It looks like picking up the new model is a no-brainer. I personally disfavor the pistol grip but I just feel like I get better control without the grip. The newer model also isn't threaded for chokes (I wouldn't care). https://youtu.be/DYBfMV6aW4k
I like the adjustable comb for optics, but also have no use for the pistol grip.
I’ll keep my old model.
Thanks for the comparison! I've shot thousands of rounds through shotguns with normal stocks my whole life, so i thought i wouldn't like the pistol grip that came on my 1301 LE, but i actually really like the feel of it. Probably just personal preference, but i feel like i have better control of the gun with it, and can maneuver the gun better during drills and reloads etc. I also like the adjustable cheek height, as i run my red dot on the stock rail, so it allows for adjustability.
I do wish the newer model had the ability to run chokes, but i mainly shoot Federal Flight Control 00 Buck, and it patterns very tight in my 1301, so the lack of chokes hasn't been an issue.
There are still models with a removable choke, if that is something you prefer.
Put me down on the side strongly disliking pistol grip stocks on a shotgun. I just don’t feel like I can control recoil as well.
It appears that some of them have chokes. My buddy's may be a LE model.
The recoil of those shotguns are so violent. I'll stick with my itty bitty .223 bullets.
They do recoil hard, but it's easily manageable if you train with it. A shotgun is definitely not my go-to home defense gun (i have an 8" suppressed 300blk SBR for that), nor would i recommend one for HD to anyone, but man they hit hard on living things within 25 yards. You're basically putting eight or nine 9mm balls into a fist sized area with good 00buck, and the slugs punch big holes.Quote:

I don't care much for the plastic mag. extension but he Nordic Components won't work with the factory extended model.
