I do feel this conversation is getting sidetracked. I get why some would want the flexibility to switch barrels. However I content that a large portion of gun owners have no need for shotguns beyond defense.

Mossberg has the long fixed length tubes on their 500/590 defense shotguns. Remington now does with their 870 home defense. Will we start to see long fixed mag tubes on 930 and 1100/1187 shotguns and other semi-autos? I believe the FN FLP has a fixed tube.

Is not the long fixed tube more reliable and sturdier than the guns with extensions?
