Aridus addresses the situation with the Magpul handguard here: https://www.aridusindustries.com/products/1301hga-blk/
I also think there’s information included with the handguard...
Can anyone confirm what the upgrade to the bolt handle on the Gen 2 is?

Just picked up my 1301 Tac.
Holy cow, I can't believe how light and handy this thing is. I feel like it must have some stout recoil... but everyone says that's not the case. With any luck I'll get to put a few shells through it this weekend.
I've not broken one.
So far all the replacement bolt handles available are two piece affairs that are just as "vulnerable" as the factory handle.
It's not impossible to break one, but I've spent a shitload of time around 1301's and I've yet to see a factory handle break that way.

I'm used to 3" slugs from various guns (including an 1187) and heavier. My Mossberg 835 weighs in at 7.5lbs (which I always thought was really light) and is punishing with a 3 1/2" turkey load.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the 6.4lb Beretta feels in comparison. Although odds are that I will never put anything bigger than 2 3/4" shells in it. For it's purpose there really isn't a need. It feels toy like. In a lot of ways it is similar to the way I felt when I first held a Glock.
