A potentially fatal, catastrophic malfunction could occur if there is a failure to retract the bolt handle completely in a stress fire encounter. If you truly are in a stress fire encounter YOU ARE ALL IN! You have trained, you have the tactical advantage, you are good to go! Don’t risk losing your grip on the the part plastic factory charging handle of your Beretta 1301. Replace it with the GG&G Beretta 1301 Tactical Charging Handle. It is one piece large, and heavily knurled, making it easy to grab with your hand or fingers—gloved or not. Please be aware that the 1301 Charging Handle does not rotate.
