Guys my Remington 870 Police has a +1 Wilson Combat magazine tube extension for a total of 5+1. I keep the gun "cruiser ready" so 5 in the tube, empty chamber. My sidesaddle holds 6 additional rounds should they be needed.

Do you think that's enough? Should I get a +2 magazine extension for 6+1 total? I love the way the setup balances as is, and the mag tube extension is so short a bracket isn't needed for support and it's a handy and rugged setup with my Surefire forend. Some feel as if the magazine tube MUST extend to the barrel but I don't know.

What do you all think? Is 5+1 rounds of 12 gauge buckshot enough for home defense?
