Is there any good way to mount a light to a Beretta 1301 without what may be considered "permanent modifications"?
I have a standard tactical model pre magazine tube extension. So just a cap on the mag tube.
I know Steiner used to offer the Mk.7 light that replaced the mag tube cap, but the output was limited and it appears to be discontinued. Likewise the trusty older Streamlight clamp-on magazine tube mount might not work will on the barrel due to it's polymer construction.
For reference, this is a simple home/property defense weapon, will not be seeing any use harder use than class environments occasionally and range practice. I figure this discussion may per pertinent for LEOs if an agency adopts 1301s through a bureaucratic miracle.
I really enjoy how light the shotgun is, and how simple disassembly/maintenance is in it's standard configuration. I'm just trying to find a less expensive or complicated solution then something like the Aridus forend or adding an extension with a clamp.
