Wanting an affordable pump gun for home defense and carrying around outdoors, etc., I decided to pick up an old 870 police for a low price. I chose this over the 870 express or mossberg 500 route. Almost went with a mossberg 590A1, but I'm not a fan of the heavy barrel.
Anyway, I consider it a fixer-upper. It is the 4 + 1 configuration, and I always assumed that I would add a 2-shot mag tube extension. I have seen that some folks feel that no extension makes for better and quicker handling, and I am re-considering. Anyone have that opinion? Anyone think that there is little or no advantage to no extension?
A compromise could be a one-shot extension (it would give me 5 + 1). I don't think that I would need tube-barrel bracket for that (or whatever you call it), and I'm not sure that one would even fit on a one-shot extension, but let me know if you think that I should use one of those with that configuration.
Thanks in advance.
