Strike Industries Expands VOA Handguard Lineup with Beretta Compatibility

Enhanced Tactical Capability for Popular Shotgun Platforms

Strike Industries has announced the availability of their proven VOA Handguard system for two of Beretta's most sought-after shotgun models: the 1301 Tactical and A300 Ultima Patrol. This expansion brings the company's battle-tested handguard technology to owners of these dependable platforms, enabling enhanced tactical configurations for real-world applications.

Drop-In Installation with Proven Performance

The VOA handguards feature a straightforward installation process that requires no modifications to your firearm. Strike Industries has a successful track record with these handguards across multiple shotgun platforms, and the Beretta-specific variants maintain all the performance characteristics that have made them popular among users.

Construction and Materials

The handguards utilize a robust manufacturing approach, combining forged 6061-T6 aluminum construction with an extrusion mold process. Precision CNC milling adds the detailed features that set these handguards apart from competitors. The finished product receives a semi-matte, hard-anodized coating for durability, while strategically placed contour cuts enhance grip security during operation.

Specifications and Mounting Options

Dimensions and Weight

• Length: 14 inches
• Weight: 12.7 ounces

M-LOK Compatibility

The VOA handguard provides extensive mounting real estate for accessories:

• Left and Right Sides: 8 M-LOK slots each
• Bottom Rail: 7 M-LOK slots

This configuration supports a wide variety of tactical accessories including weapon lights, vertical foregrips, shell carriers, and sling attachments, allowing users to customize their setup according to mission requirements.

Integrated Sling System

Beyond the M-LOK slots, the handguard incorporates four steel quick-detach (QD) sling mounting points positioned at the front and rear of both sides. This built-in sling capability means most users can reserve their M-LOK slots for other critical accessories while maintaining secure weapon retention options.

Thoughtful Design Features

Gas Venting Protection

Strike Industries has addressed potential issues with gas venting by internally shielding M-LOK slots in vulnerable areas. This engineering consideration ensures consistent performance and protects mounted accessories from gas exposure.

Ergonomic Loading Port Clearance

The internal shielding design incorporates ergonomic considerations, particularly maintaining clear access to the loading port. This prevents interference during high-stress reload situations when rapid shell insertion is critical.

The VOA Handguard for Beretta 1301 Tactical and A300 Ultima Patrol shotguns carries an MSRP of $184.95 and is offered in two finish options:

• Black anodized
