Every one of these I have tried except the Remington longer button version were an abomination, to me. Of course I have zero issue with the standard button too. Your perception may vary.

 

I totally agree w Virginian. The other add on carrier releases are very awkward and bulky. I have put the competition extended release on a standard field model and recently bought the competition synthetic which has one from the factory. I personally like the extended one because it makes loading the mag tube easier w out deliberately looking to hit the button w every shell, almost like an 870. I had no problem w the shorter standard one, but when my wife, kids or friends unfamiliar w the 1100/11-87 design used it, they had some problems loading it. It's fairly cheap and there's some good videos online on how to install it. If you've got any mechanical skills you can swap it out in 10-15 mins.

 

I have several of those bolt release extensions installed on 12 Ga. 1100 triggers. They were installed by Allan Timney way back when. Shooting in a 100 bird trap event they make life quite a bit easier. Never had any problems and they can be removed quite easily.

 

I like my Dave's EZ loader quite a bit. Not the prettiest thing in the world but it works a treat. Here's some info if interested. Skip to 1:53

 

I've got them on all my 1100s, including my sub gauge that I use for sporting clays. They make loading a whole lot easier.

 

I think I will like it. Just picked this up today that has one.
