I never saw a need to replace the stock Kel-Tec white plastic followers.
The factory work perfectly and I've never heard of anyone having a problem with them.
This seems to be mostly a desire to personalize the gun with expensive after market parts.
Some people have caused problems by installing after market followers and having problems with sticking or catching in the tube.
One person bought followers with a large hole and had trouble with mini shells catching on the hole during loading.
I don't think I've ever encountered a factory shotgun follower causing problems other then old steel types rusting, and a old 870 Police gun where the thin factory follower just disintegrated from age.
Bullpup shotguns have a lot going for them.
I can move around the home and open doors while holding the KS7 with one hand, up and ready to fire at least the first shot.
Even a body builder can't hold a standard shotgun up very long with one hand.
Unlike the Shockwave type guns you get a full 18 1/2 inch barrel in a gun that's actually shorter then the Shockwave, and with a usable buttstock for better control.
For an actual inside the home defense shotgun the bullpups may be well be the default with the Kel-Tec's being the leaders for cost-quality.
