Why do people have to always denigrate something that is fixed up nicely, I've seen a lot of comments along the lines of ".. I like mine without all them useless doo-dads hanging off the gun".
In fact a lot of "them doo-dads" are very useful and sometimes I feel like a new shooter would look at this sight to gather information before making a purchase and is going to think to be a real man they need a pump action 12 with nothing on it . Lights on a defensive shotgun for example, or an extended magazine tube, maybe even a side saddle shell holder. I used a Mossberg 500 in the Navy back in the 70's, and my first home defense shotgun was a Model 500, albeit with a mag extension and a heat shield on the barrel.
Now (it is 2016 after all) my HD shotgun is a Benelli M2 Tactical, pistol grip stock, mag tube extension, ghost ring sights, fiber optic front site, a light mounted on the left side of the mag extension. I've shot a lot of 3 gun matches with it and never had a single failure over the years, so there is no pump action that is better than zero failures. It points well, handles recoil well, and I am much faster with it.
When something goes bump in the night I never even consider anything else. I've got nothing against "plain old", I even hunt with a Browning 1885 single shot rifle sometimes, but don't forget that their are tools available that may well make you a better shooter.
