Went down to the local gunshop to ask about mag extensions for 1100/11-87 shotguns and lucked up on a used 11-87 that had been converted to HD with a Choate extension. Not that I wanted to buy that gun, but I did want to understand how it was altered. Not allowed to take it down, so I was left wondering what's different about putting a mag extension on a gas gun as opposed to an 870? The specific gun in question is actually my 20ga Sportsman 58 -- good or bad idea? I get the impression that it would be involved and expensive. So, if I want a HD semi-auto, maybe a police 1100/11-87 (all 12ga or can I find a 20ga?) is smarter than converting mine.
And there's also the argument that pumps are better for HD, but if my wife used it, the simpler the better -- push safety/pull trigger. Yeah, there's another argument about having a shell in the chamber.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
