Buy recommendations Anybody tried one of these?

I don’t know how I stumbled upon these but I did. It seems sketchy I’m not sure it’s a good idea but it could solve an issue I’m having with my 10” Ege Levar12s.
So out of my 18” barrel 12 guage using a rifled choke tube I have great accuracy with repurposed target loads with hand made Lee 7/8 slugs but when I toss them in my 10.5 Ege with the same rifled choke it’s all over the map.
My best guess is with the shorter barrel it’s not getting a good enough burn and the blast is sending the slug tumbling? I’m not a ballistics expert. It goes in it goes boom it comes out. What ever else happens in between or after it’s beyond me. So this leads to my 2 questions has anyone tried one? And from what I can tell Lockhart tactical is a legitimate company I can trust?

I was looking at these a couple weeks ago to add on a 10 or 14” shotgun , and from what I read people say they are indeed a gimmick and not worth doing. (Also that company might not really be operating at the moment)

Good. After that stunt they tried pulling on MRA i hope they never sell anything again.

Yeah it’s one thing for the projectile to run through a choke but to thread a barrel extension on kinda scares me for some reason I think I’ll stick with shot shells in this one. I debated buying the 18” version when I got this maybe I need both lol
