The factory bolt handle found on the Beretta 1301 is partially plastic. Why take the risk of having it fail or break, if by chance you encounter a barricade or obstacle with it? Especially during the high anxiety associated with a gunfight. Your failure to retract the bolt handle completely could lead to a catastrophic malfunction that is potentially fatal. We have improved the appearance and lightened our standard Beretta 1301 Tactical Charging Handle with the GG&G Beretta 1301 Slotted Tactical Charging Handle. Just remove the small factory bolt retracting handle and replace it with our Must Have Beretta 1301 Slotted Tactical Charging Handle.
