I need a very long length of pull and just never liked folding stocks on my shotguns. In my department years ago other than the breaching gun we abandoned folding stocks and went back to full stocked configuration.
There are some good telescoping stocks and Mesa Tactical makes an outstanding pistol grip stock, although pricey.
I have several variations of stocks on my training guns but for my personal 870 I chose the Magpul like this one. I have fired as much as 800 rounds in a week long program and found the recoil to be comfortable with this stock.
Think about Speedfeed, mine carries four extra rounds.
Is speedfeed even still in business. I looked for one of their stocks a while back and couldn't find anything.

I'd agree.

I had the Knoxx stock on my 870 Police Model and now I don't. I am a bit recoil sensitive due to some C-spine disk issues but I felt no real difference in recoil to my shoulder with the Knoxx stock and/or the original plastic stock. Also it felt like I was getting punched in the jaw every time I shot. I found a complete (fancy) stock set from an older Wing Master and installed it. I guess the heavier weight and positive cheek weld worked better for me. Just my experience, yours may vary.

I stand corrected. My stock was a Blackhawk SpecOps Gen 2, not a Knoxx. I believe they are similar in function.

This is the best looking "tactical" 870 build that I have seen. It is an Ergo stock on a Mesa Tactical adapter.

On my work 870 I have a Speedfeed fixed/pistol grip combination. On my other two 870's, I have factory folders (which are really cheap on Ebay right now). I have never had a problem using the factory folder, but I'm also not shooting a bunch of rounds (100+) in a class or such.
What, me worry?

I'd agree as well. Very pleased with mine.

Same here. You get the benefit of adjustability and recoil reduction.
It is important to note there are two versions - one of them (the NRS version) does not have the components to reduce recoil. They look almost identical but engineered differently.

I'll never have anything other than a Knoxx on mine. Makes the gun fun to shoot and I like being able to adjust the stock

Thanks for all your thoughts in assisting me making my decision.
I bet you could sell that youth stock in the Classifieds...
