Very difficult decision between the 1301 and the M4, but the 1301's improved ergos won me over.

Buy extra o-rings for the firing pin and firing pin retaining pin. O-rings are cheap unless you don't have one.

u/Superxt0aster bc Jul 01 '22

Thanks for the heads up. Are the O-rings and retaining pin usually a problem?

1

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Jul 01 '22

They rip pretty easily but they are standard metric. I will have a look tomorrow if I remember.

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Jul 02 '22

These o-rings, about $2 for 50 delivered.
5mm o.d. 1mm c.s.

These fit a400 firing pins and firing pin retaining pins

u/sysexecv Jul 01 '22

Thanks! I’m curious if RPAL takes longer

u/presdint100 Jul 01 '22

Ye I was gonna get my rpal but I predicted if it was gonna be worth it cuz I had a feeling they were gonna ban handguns and they did

3

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Jul 01 '22

No, they have not 'banned handguns'.
Someone lied to you.

u/sysexecv Jul 01 '22

That’s some very accurate prediction

u/Beretta_errata removeddit pro Jul 01 '22

Inaccurate, it hasn't happened yet.
