So I have an older 870 police, its beat up and kinda ugly but fun to shoot and reliable. It has a 20" barrel and one of the +3 extensions on it with the little 2 piece thin clamp with the screw and nut in the middle. I absolutely hate taking the barrel off and cleaning the thing because the clamp is such a pain.
I was just going to buy the really heavy duty and much more user friendly looking clark clamp for it, but then I got to wondering, how necessary is the clamp anyway? Is it really needed or is it just a tacticool accessory? Is it a crutch for a cheap extension tube? Would getting a more stout extension tube from vang or wilson just be better? Is it actually useful and would keep me from putting my magazine 90 degrees to the barrel?
It came with one and I just always assumed it should have one. You tell me what you think is best for a home defense/emergency shotgun. It looks like neither wilson or vang use clamps.
A little searching though let me find dfariswheel's opinion on it so I'm very much inclined to do so
