You can install either... however I've hve a report of tolerance stacking of the 1201 that the installation of a side saddle may cause. It doesn't put the gun out of service but precludes you from topping it off until you run it dry. If I can find the e-mail about this I'll forward it to ya.
I talked to Sure-Fire about a Tactiacl Light foreend for the 1201 and I unless I disremembered they said they make one. Only at the time I couldn't affort it so I never followed up.
