absolutely
I would for sure. The Rem guns (870 and 1100) are typically 4+1 guns OEM.
The way most beside/house guns are stored is w/ empty chamber and 4 rds in the mag. Four rounds. You wouldn't consider a handgun with a capacity of four rounds as adequate........why is it OK with the shotgun? Why would you knowingly go into a deadly incident with 4 rounds?
If in the midst of your deadly confrontation if you have time and can remember, you can chamber a round, and add a round from an onboard ammo if the gun is set up that way, now you have 5 shots.......think Chief's Special. Hmmmmm!
When shotguns were LE's big stick, I campaigned long and loud with my outfit to get policy changed to allow mag extensions. It finally happened, but by that time the patrol carbine was becoming a reality.
Full up a mag extension adds weight and changes the balance, but these are not field or claybird guns, you likely will not be swinging on a flying target, and you will not be lugging it all day on hunts.
Once installed, test for reliability
