Looking at getting a mag tube extension for my benelli super nova (+2) So do you need a mag tube clamp? Downsides? upsides? Thanks for your time
Upside to using one? Don't have any.
A +2 extension is not very long, it doesn't allow you to mount a flashlight far forward at all.
On an 18" barrel? It gets it out to where there isn't a shadow. It's probably 2"-2.5" from the end of the barrel.
Your setup may vary. I will retract "way out front", but it is sure better than mounting one under the mag cap, but I guess a guy could get it as far out as he wants if he mounts the barrel.
My 870 came with one. I replaced it with a side swivel mount. I don't really think I need it for a +2 tube but its a decent spot for a sling on the other side.
Ultimate reliability is had with no extension. And when you've learned to reload, you have the confidence which no longer feels any need for an extension.
Right but 3 gun shooters are playing a game, not engaging in defensive shooting.
Having extra rounds is a tactical advantage. Why do 3 gun shooters have extremely long mag tubes and xrails? so they can reload less.
