Well I guess I should be glad I got the Pro Lifter last summer for my Gen1 at $69 from Beretta considering how popular it is now - and thank you @Centerfire for helping with my LPA sight requests, and your pics of the screws and referral to Fusion Firearms as the LPA distributor was super helpful - oddly enough, my Panzer M4 has a metal rear sight that screws in from the underside of the receiver and looks to be a 1:1 clone of the M4 LPA OEM rear sight
Gen 2 Zhukov from Aridus is now available for pre-order/backorder! I’ve been checking their site daily since it was first announced and it finally popped up today. It looks like they are offering it the original finish or with Aridus’ textured finish… the one that looks like overlapping circles.
In light of EG's "shotguns I saw" thread, something appealing about the latest mod 2 1301 is buying a shotgun where you add a red dot, light and sling but otherwise leave the guts alone. I am a lot more confident of the reliability and durability of something Beretta spec'd and assembled.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Any recommended vendors for the 1301 Mod2? Good prices or in stock a plus.
I’m trying to avoid those selling the LE (no screw in choke) version on the grey market.

I wouldn't personally worry about that as it's the equivalent of worrying over MIM vs cast vs milled... As long as the process is properly done and the part is used appropriately then it won't matter.
I just can't currently justify the added expense for the minor upgrade though I will probably eventually give in and buy it.
