Yeah you gotta hand it to them, they are really trying hard to establish good QC here.

But yeah the shipping and customs is biting them hard in the ass.  As much as we used to bitch about buying stuff overseas and the inefficient postal systems you had to deal with; thanks to the "progressives", you can now enjoy that at home.

How fast will it ship via them compared to buying it from zenitco on ebay in January?

I have no idea I don't work for them.  I do know that both Russian Thunder and Ivan Tactical are official Zenitco partners, Zenitco has actually said that eBay seller using their name is in no way affiliated with them at all.

Take that for what you will.

What is this that I'm seeing about a gen 3 perst? Is this in regards to the Perst-4 or Perst-3? I placed an order with Russian Thunder on Black Friday for a green+ Perst-3 and it hasn't shipped. If there's a new gen I hope I receive one.

I posted it this morning, but I will repost again...

Quoted:



Here is the response for anyone curious, new generation of persts are releasing in January per Ivan Tactical, RT and Zenitco directly confirmed.

"Hi. Yes, all electronics will be updated to gen.3. Everything will be digitally controlled, all units will have universal remote switches, so everything can be paired. Switches will be both Picatinny and direct Basis mounted. Perst-3 and Perst-4 will get increased water resistance. Klesh-2 will be twice smaller. Also Klesh-1 with laser will be released. And Zenitco is also working on holographic and red dote sights."

https://youtu.be/02S-qN0OEBs here's the video release of you goto minute mark 20:00

Look at the silver lining, if your order hasn't shipped you can email and ask for the gen 3 Perst.

Got my Perst 3 from Ivan Tactical in 19 days including the Christmas holiday slowdown.

DEC 14 - Hit PCI-8
DEC 15 - Entered Russian Customs
DEC 20 - Released Russian Customs
DEC 22 - Arrived USA
DEC 23 - Entered USA Customs
DEC 28 - Cleared USA Customs
DEC 29 - Delivered

Bocharov Yaroslav from Ivan Tactical said to send it to him and he will replace it under warranty as it is certainly a defective unit issue. Pretty stand up to do that and I didn’t even buy it from him.

Yup, they have customer service nailed. I will buy from them next time, even if they are slightly higher than the eBay source. It would be a dick move to order from eBay, but use Ivan for service. If I ever need service, Ill send some money to Ivan, in the box

Found a used PERST-4 today for $375... I’m going to give it a shot.

My NODs aren’t even here yet (still being built, I’m guessing end of January) so I’m hoping by the time they’re done, I have IR lights and the laser here, mounted and ready to do some shooting.

Hell, I might even have my form 1 can done before the NODS get here

Finally got mine from Black Phase Tactical.....I didn't look back to see how long ago I ordered, but I'm thinking it was at least 6 months ago.  Perst-4 not bad at all. Makes me want to get one with the illuminator.

Hey guys new member but have been creeping on this thread a few others for awhile so figured I’d make an account. I ordered fro BPT in July and have noticed some people saying theirs have been starting to come in. Will they send an email letting you know it’s shipped or will it just show up on my doorstep one day?

Well, he seems like decent chap but is not real big on emailing his customers with updates.  I think you will get a notice right when he ships it but not much else in between.  He was pestered to death by a lot of impatient customers and was threatening to quit dealing in them.  But I think unusual customer demand has kept him at it.  Hopefully the shipping situation is improving.

In for the answer, I'm looking at putting together the following setup:

Arisaka 600 Series Body
Surefire UE Tailcap
Malkoff IR 700 Head
Unity Tactical Hot Button

Seems normal, ordered a P4 from him a few days after you and from the 18th to the 6th it had no updates.

It's in customs in the US now though so hopefully getting close.

Do you run it with a perst or just stand alone? If you run it with a perst do you have a dual pressure pad sent up?  I’m planning on running the p4 and the arisaka with a dual pressure pad so I can have white light when needed then switch to IR and laser when needed also.

850. Tons of throw and enough spill for situational awareness. It's very, very intense if fired against a wall, so much so that depending on the space I will just use the inforce IR light on my helmet.

I run it with the P4, spliced into a TAPS Sync for simultaneous laser+light. Makes for effortless pid in most situations - fwiw I have not taken it out past 200 but realistically, there's no scenario where I'd be taking a shot under NV with a laser at that distance.

I keep a PLH head on-hand in case I need a ton of white light for whatever reason. Ideally I'd have both full-power IR illumination and white light, but I think it's a reasonable compromise for real-life circumstances and training.

Well damn. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a Perst 3, but don't want to get something that immediately gets up rev'd.


Guess I'll hang on to my Perst 4+ for a while and see how this plays out.

Yes they had a 10% off sale for the holidays.

RT is usually slightly cheaper than Ivan most of the time, then when RT has the 10% off sales it makes it a no brainier.

Has anyone bought one of these since 11/13 and gotten it?  Mine has been stalled somewhere in shipping since 11/20.  Zenitco says nothing they've shipped since 11/13 has been delivered, but that this happened around the same time last year as well.
