Beretta 1201fp

[ddtdhunter]

recently bought a used 1201fp. I saw where it was suppose to have a 5 or 6 round mag capactiy, but i am only able to load 2. any suggestions, also how do you take the end to the mag off?

I don't know this gun, but if it is new, call the factory. Check the instructions on loading the magazine. The most common problem when a magazine won't accept a full compliment of rounds is a cartridge tilting and jamming the follower. There may be a right and wrong way to start them into the magazine. The other possibility is cartridges with too much overall length. Try a different brand or nose style.

If the factory says the behaviour isn't normal, they may send you a new magazine free, so it is worth calling just for that possibility.

Good luck with it.

It most likely has the plug in it to make it a legal three round gun for waterfowl !! Check to tube and remove the plug.The 1201 is in fact a Benelli, very similar to the Benelli M1 90 [beretta owns part of Benelli ].
