Add wear marks first. Once you know your shotgun like your tongue knows your teeth you'll have a better idea of what your shotgun needs for your mission and use environment.

My HD 870s have extended mags,extended forcing cones, peep sights, good triggers and one has a side saddle. Front sights are enhanced with paint for low light use.

The one with the Side Saddle has a curb weight over 9 lbs.

Another GP 870 helps out with HD when it's not hunting or at the range.

A parts gun named Frankenstein for its motley finishes,it wears a 21" turkey barrel and weighs about 7.25 lbs fully loaded.

I can handle the HD guns well. Long use and still some upper body strength.

But Frankenstein is faster.

Quail gun fast.

Snake fast.

And the lighter weight would mean less fatigue. An extended crisis could make that count a lot.

Practice and THINK. Your mind is the real weapon, the shotgun's an accessory.

Contrary to net myth and magazine covers, most really effectively employed shotguns actually used " In harm's way" are fairly basic.

Think....
