I was looking for a good semi auto since i hated the recoil on pump shotgun and it was not pleasant to shoot. This shotgun has been on my list since seeing it on instagram and actually browsing through bdu page and saw this guy. When I bought it, I was skeptical at first since the benelli m4 is similar price to this deck out 1301. However, once I receive the shotgun, my mind change completely. It's a very beautiful gun right out of the box. Some people may hate the Magpul furniture aesthetics, but I love the way it looks. I got the fde furniture black base and the it looks so damn good. The unboxing was amazing. It gives me that tactical feel. Mounting light and sling mount is easy on this gun. I recommend you remove the handguard to mount it easily. If you don't know how, ltt has a youtube video breaking it down. EZ PZ. When I went out to the range and shoot the same buckshot load that I have in my other pump shotgun, I notice the recoil difference is lighter between the two. Even shooting slugs, it was still hard-hitting, but manageable to shoot compared to pump. I love this shotgun and langdon done an amazing job. I its cheaper to get complete shotgun here than to find the parts from aridus who made the furniture. Also the rob hob ghost ring sight are really cool since it makes cowitness easy and its almost make the front sight like shooting a bead sight which I like more on shotgun than ghost load. The only con I have is quad loading this shotgun. You can do it, but it's way harder than the ones optimized for 3 guns. It's not made for it since the nordic spring mag tube is very "bouncy". If you messed up and don't push tube all the way in, then one of the shells can get stuck in the loading gate which prevents you from reloading until you either rerack the gun or pull the trigger. Overall, I recommend this shotgun if you can only have one shotgun. I ain't a shotgun person since i prefer shooting rifle and pistol better. However, this shotgun makes it a lot more enjoyable. Also easier for newer shooters to shoot since semi has lighter recoil. When they get back in stock, grab one immediately. They sell out pretty fast. For this patch, i got lucky and got the fde black base which sold out the same day. The others remain for the week. Make sure to save up and grab these boys. I now have a beast tactical shotgun set up.

I've been on a semi-auto shotgun kick lately. Bought a Benelli M4 and Asgard Defense M127 and now an LTT 1301. Hands down the best of the three is the LTT 1301. Lightweight, yet handles recoil exceptionally well. Smoother to load than the other two. Carriage release is a little further forward, which is nice so your thumb doesn't get whacked by the charging handle. Cycles fast and handles light target through high brass. Nice comb angle and buttpad make for a natural point of aim and view through the sights. Mr Langdon, tell the folks in assembly to watch the alignment of the handguard with the endcap toward the muzzle. Mine was misaligned and not tightened sufficiently and the handguard and 2rd extension came loose after about 20 rounds. Had to loosen up the barrel clamp, properly align the endcap, tighten both the 2rd extension and nut and then tighten the clamp. Hasn't come loose since. If you are looking for an exceptional semi-auto shotgun, just buy this one and don't look back. I'm glad I did.

Great shotgun. Very light compared to the only other viable fighting semi autos (Benelli M4 and M2) . Side by side you can tell it cycles faster then the M2. Perfect out of the box, slugs were right at point of aim at 50 yards without adjusting the sights. Quickly cycles light birdshot as well as full bore slugs and 00. The layout of the stock and forend combined with the light weight make for a quick handling gun. With the oversized controls adding to the balance of the whole package. Great fighting shotgun that is fun to shoot.

Finally got it, now I have two of the best semi-auto tactical shotgun currently on the market. Have it set up w/ Holosun 407 X2 sight set to the ring-only reticle. Inforce WMLX, sling mount setup for Mclean DRS, and a match saverz. With everything mounted (except saddle) and 10 buckshot shells in/on it (7+1 +1 ghost +1 match saverz), it weighs only 8lbs! Waiting on the saddle, saddle w/ 6 shells prob will add a pound, but still light and +6 is well worth the extra weight. Everything feels and looks perfect, the controls are big and easier to use than my M1014. My M1014 with a similar type of setup(mlok rail, red dot, sling, light, saddle) is 11 lbs loaded. The only bad thing is that if this runs perfectly(I assume yes, and I will know very soon), then I may even consider selling my M1014.

haven’t fired it yet due to ammo availability but the gun arrived in great shape and earlier than expected.

WOW ! Everything I had hoped for and more! I have been using serious shotguns sine 1974 when I started my Law Enforcement career. This is by far the BEST ! Thanks

I believe that when it comes to defending one’s home and family the shotgun is the King of the Hill . I own several high quality shotguns that are well suited to that task . Earnest and his crew have taken the fighting shotgun to a level I honestly didn’t believe was possible. This 1301 handles like a dream , points effortlessly. I had never handled one until mine arrived , I took a gamble but thanks to the internet, Youtube and other various platforms I was able to do my research and make what I felt was a safe investment... I struck gold with this . The fit and attention to detail are synonymous with Langdon Tactical ! I’ve yet to shoot it due to the current situation, but once I pattern it and equip it with a light and RMR for my old eyes , it’ll be the nightly boom stick should the wolf come pounding on the door . If you’re on the fence and the opportunity presents itself again for a preorder, jump ! Bills be damned !

Simply, the BEST,

I was lucky to get in on a preorder, went for all the options. i’ve put 50 rounds through it so far and it is unbelievably fast. Ordering more ammo and looking for a good tactical shotgun class. I had a Rem 870P under my seat or in a rack and this is the present and future. Will be ordering another for my son
