Just needs a black buttstock now. Going for the 2 tone. I'm really torn between pistol grip or not though

There's a reason why top competitors don't run a pistol grip. Much slower for reloading a tube-fed firearm. They're also a pain for ergonomics when you've got a tang safety. Get good with the classic and you'll be happy you did.

Also, the heatsheild looks corny af on a 1301.

Been shooting since I was 5. I'm happy with my ability to handle a traditional shotgun. As far as the heat shield goes you can have your opinion. You're free to not put a "heatsheild" on your 1301. I prefer not burning my hands.
