Beretta to Exhibit at NRA Carry Guard Expo

(Accokeek, MD) Beretta anticipates thousands of visitors next week at the second annual NRA Carry Guard Expo in Richmond, VA.

The booth (#720) has been redesigned to ensure that Expo visitors can interact more directly with Beretta staff to better learn about the vast array of firearms for concealed carry, home defense, and personal protection that Beretta offers.

Beretta, a leader in the firearms industry, continues to demonstrate its unique ability to bridge the latest technological advances with traditional aesthetics and contemporary design to provide users of its products with a wide selection of personal and home protection products, including appropriate pro-shop items and accessories to meet an extensive range of needs and applications.

More than 100 firearms will be on display in the Beretta booth, including a variety of new or featured defense firearms. Among these products are additions to the proven APX series with our new concealed carry and mid-size offerings and the new 1301 Tactical shotgun.

Located in the central pistol section, Beretta will be featuring the newest additions to the ultimate striker-fired APX pistol family, the APX Compact and APX Centurion. Focused on controllability and ergonomics, these pistols feature aggressive slide serrations, a low bore axis, a reversible magazine release, and a trigger that breaks at 6lbs with a clear tactile and audible short reset.

With an end-user removable serialized chassis, these APX models can be easily modified with our line of replaceable grip frame housings, available in Flat Dark Earth, Wolf Grey, Black, and Olive Drab.

Beretta will also display our new 1301 Tactical shotgun, a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed specifically for law enforcement and home defense needs.

With a compact design ideal for navigating tight spaces, the 1301 Tactical features a robust, protected ghost-ring system with an interchangeable front sight, giving the user the opportunity to adapt it to any use, no matter the conditions. The stock is adjustable for length-of-pull with provided spacers, ensuring it will always come up naturally to your shoulder and point easily.

The integrated BLINK gas operating system, featuring a cross tube gas piston, allows the 1301 Tactical to cycle 36% faster than any other shotgun on the market.

In addition to our new pistol and shotgun offerings, our booth will also feature one of the newest additions to our Tikka rifle line, the Tikka TAC A1.

Featuring an all-aluminum machined stock capable of withstanding NATO’s tortuous drop tests, Tikka’s TAC A1 is the perfect precision firearm for both beginners and production class shooters. An open class gun at a production class price, this rifle features a hard-wearing cold hammer forged barrel and silky-smooth action and is available in .308 Win, .206 Rem, and 6.5 Creedmoor with various barrel lengths.

Visitors to the Beretta booth (#720) are invited to participate in a drawing for a chance to win a new Beretta APX pistol. Eligibility governed by all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
