Mounting red dot reflex optics like the Holosun HE509T, known for its titanium housing, multi-reticle system and Solar Failsafe charging system, has become highly popular among shotgun shooters. Incorporating co-witness iron sights with red dot optics on shotguns is now widely recognized as a tactical necessity by many users. The GG&G 1301 Holosun optic rail, designed specifically for the Beretta 1301 Shotgun, addresses this requirement with options for a full or half ghost ring sight. Whether you're using the 1301 for hunting or in self-defense situations, the ability to quickly acquire targets with a reflex red dot offers significant advantages. By adding a backup sight that co-witnesses with the HE509T in most setups, you gain versatility and reliability in aiming. This setup ensures readiness even if the electronic sight encounters issues or loses power. Installation is straightforward, requiring just two modifications, removing the factory plastic rail and sight, then installing GG&G's robust mounting platform for the Holosun HE509T. The platform comes with a half or full ghost ring sight, providing both co-witness capability and a dependable backup option. Even the most reliable optics can fail, which makes having a backup system crucial in critical situations where performance can affect safety and survival.
