What is an extended shotgun choke?

Are Carlson choke tubes worth it?

I’ve been using Carlson’s choke tubes in my other shotguns as well for several years and can say they are very well made of high quality steel alloy and perform extremely well. These Carlson’s choke tubes extend almost an inch past the end of the barrel and are knurled so spinning them in and out is quick and easy.

Will a ported shotgun choke reduce recoil?

In theory ported tubes should reduce recoil due to the jet effect of the gas pushing against the front edge of the port cuts in the tube or being redirected rearwards if the tubes have angled ports. Muzzle brakes do work if there is enough gas pressure and if the gas has something thick walled to push against.
