Aridus Industries Imperium Handguard for Beretta 1301 Tactical
CNC-Machined Aluminum M-LOK Handguard
The Aridus Industries Imperium Handguard is a premium, all-aluminum upgrade designed specifically for the Beretta 1301 Tactical platform. Engineered to improve control, heat management, and accessory mounting, the Imperium replaces the factory handguard with a rigid, low-profile solution built for demanding use.
Unlike polymer or mixed-material handguards, the Imperium is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and finished with a Type III black hard-coat anodizing, delivering excellent durability, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Its patent-pending milled texture provides consistent grip in hot, cold, wet, or dry conditions—eliminating smooth surfaces that can reduce recoil control.
The Imperium features full 360-degree integrated heat shielding, protecting the user’s hands during extended firing, reloading, or handling a hot barrel. A super low-profile design preserves the natural handling characteristics of the 1301 while incorporating M-LOK slots at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions for mounting lights, slings, match savers, and other accessories.
A friction-fit front and rear collar system eliminates assembly screws, providing a secure, rattle-free installation. The front collar incorporates a spring and detent to help prevent magazine tube extensions or end caps from loosening under recoil.
