Does anyone have experience with lancer carbon fiber mag tube extensions. It seems like a good way to keep the front end from being as heavy. Are they duty grade or just for competition use. My application is home defense.

For home defense I'm partial to a bead sight, velcro shell holders and a light attached. I also run low recoil buckshot, no birdshot or slugs. If you can find a Mossberg with the surefire foreend already on you'll save money. Magpul foreends also offer easy light attachments.

I like +1 extensions. Rem makes a 12 ga synthetic youth stock that’s 1 inch shorter than standard. I’ve been drinking 870 Kool Aid since before many here were born. But before I spent a ton of money on an 870, I would buy a
Beretta 1301, put a light on it, and not look back. If you do buy an 870, consider not hanging so much shit on it that the result resembles a Christmas tree.Then a once agile shotgun becomes clumsy.

Seems better to necro this thread than to start a new one.
A friend and fellow shotgun enthusiast asked me to check the PF hive mind with a Surefire question and going through this thread, I stumbled across some references to what he's asking, but I still don't know that I've found any answers for him. His text reads:
"There's an upgrade for Surefire forends, basically the whole battery tube and light head that unscrews to be swapped out with to a newer, higher lumen LED bulb. Still uses 2, CR123 batteries, but with a much brighter and more modern light. They ain't cheap, pretty sure Surefire sells one for a couple hundred bucks, 99% sure I read of an aftermarket version that's equally tits and cheaper. Can you ask on PF for me?"
So there, I've asked.
Malkoff Devices has the replacement LED modules at https://malkoffdevices.com/collectio...orend-upgrades and I use the two-cell version with great results.
I'd buy the Malkoff, personally.

I finally got around to spray painting the orange Surefire forend that came on my police trade-in 870, which had been set up as less-lethal. Now I get to spend some more money on it...
