Deerhunter9790 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So I love my 1301 and shoot it very well. When I went to the range to shoot slugs I would shoot great and the gun shoots slugs like lasers, but in matches I wouldn't shoot slugs well for some reason. When I was at the freedom munitions match a couple weeks ago I saw a 1301 with a 1911 rear sight and it seemed to work very well. So I called Steve Rose of Rose Action Sports and told him what I wanted and he hooked me up! I can now make 100 yard slug shots pretty easily with the gun and was super impressed with his work.

ffgats Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What's the make of rear sight, and the height of your front? Hope you don't mind my asking. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunCat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What's the make of rear sight, and the height of your front? Hope you don't mind my asking. Thank That is a Kimber 1911 rear sight and the Beretta factory front bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for an interesting sight set up, but I was more impressed with your 100 yard off hand shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deerhunter9790 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well an update on the rear sight install. I shot my first match since the sights were installed. Went 1 for 1 on every slug target in the match with slugs out to 90 yards. First time ever doing that. Had other guys use my sight and also went 1 for 1. It made a huge difference for me.

Looks like a great idea, kudos to both you and Steve. I would consider installing that sight if I bought a new shotgun. But if I buy a new shotgun, I really want a Tooth&Nail 1919 open gun.

ffgats Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Op, can you still move the rear notch for windage? In the pics, it looks like the rear blade was cut to fit on the rib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the sight is still fully adjustable. The only thing I have altered on the sight is I had Steve take around half the height of the sight blade so the front bead would be point of aim point of impact when you lined it up and it also made be sight less intrusive.

Shooting slugs is a weakness for me. Usually no problems from a bench, but trouble during a match. I'll be looking into having one mounted as well.

Caedes Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I know I'm digging up bones with this thread... However, this is awesome. I was shooting slugs like s#!t today. Anyone know of a solution that mounts to the 1301 comp pro without machining the rail? Even from a bench I'm shooting to the right. Tried figuring out a workable hold. No real luck. I'd like a low pro express adjustable setup like this. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 There are some screw on turkey sights that may work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have Briley install their rear express sight and do a few other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
