Real-world tactical depends on the intended use or worst-case scenario. A factory 4-shell tube may be adequate for HD and even military rear-echelon use. Police SWAT and front-line military would be better served with a tube as long as the barrel, usually 7-shell capacity for 18" barrel and 8-shell for 21" barrel.
Tactical matches are "on the clock" including reloads so competitors typically use the longest tube allowed. For USPSA/IPSC 3-gun this means 8-shell capacity for Standard/Tactical and 10-shell capacity for Open. The most popular setup for tactical shotgun matches is a 21-22" barrel and an 8-shell tube (+4 extension)
