Mine is setup with the Wilson/Scattergun Tech. extension. It's a bit heavier than others but built like the proverbial brick shithouse.

I've been hapy with Remington factory and Choate. Strongly suspect the Wilson may be better. I would recommend getting an extension that uses a barrel clamp for more support.

Last one I got for a 20 ga 1100 was Choate.

I am running an original Scattergun Technologies (pre-WC) extension on my 870. No issues.

I have run the Wilson Combat version for many years. It has been durable and reliable. I don't think you could go wrong with Vang Comp either.

Had a Vang extension when I had a VangComp built 870. Much like anything else in the gun parts industry......when it comes down to quality manufacturer's "Best" is very subjective..... I didn't have any problems with it. But as you can see from other posters......the WC/ST extensions don't have many problems either.
