The key to superior performance in semi-automatic shotguns is simplicity. In addition to its reliable, soft-shooting gas system, Beretta offers two other unbeatable alternatives. 
The rugged, mechanically operated Pintail combines special hunting features with reliability and dependability.
Our tough 1201 FP semi-auto delivers quick cycling firepower and absolute reliability in a durable, no-nonsense package.

The versatile Pintail is ideal for turkey, waterfowl or deer. The Pintail's lightweight streamlined design offers instinctive handling, responsiveness and pointability. The reliable, short recoil, mechanical action delivers the power of a locked breech shotgun, so 100% of the gases are concentrated behind the shot wad for extra power and range.

The Pintail Slug, specially for deer hunting, features a one-piece receiver and barrel design that locks these key components together. This stability further enhances accuracy by keeping a scope properly aligned with the barrel with no chance of movement. This new fully rifled slug barrel is available in 24 inch length.

The rugged Model 1201 FP semi-automatic delivers built-in Beretta reliability and quality. With a heritage as a law enforcement shotgun, the 1201 FP delivers consistent shot-after-shot dependability and virtually indestructible construction. It even features the same three-dot sight system as the 92F pistol. The short recoil, mechanically operated system handles six, 2-3/4 inch or five, 3 inch shells in an extended tube magazine....plus one in the chamber. The 1201 FP's lightweight, matte black polymer stock shrugs off the roughest treatment. Metal parts are protected with Beretta's exclusive weather resistant matte black finish. Bolt and trigger are finished in matte silver. The gun's short, 18 inch barrel maneuvers easily in close-quarter situations. Designed by law enforcement professionals for law enforcement professionals, the 1201 FP is the ideal choice for those individuals who are serious about home protection.
