I picked up a new never been fired KSG with an aluminum rail on the pump/handguard for $795 in a private sale yesterday. Going to put on a brass deflector, a good VFG, and some manner of red dot.
Though I don't know anything really about shotguns. My first concern is, do I need to use a choke to shoot clays?
You don't have to, but they're readily available for the ksg. You do not need to use an impact wrench to remove the muzzle nut contrary to what you might read online.
Do yourself a favor and get the stainless steel magazine followers and the extended selector lever. A limbsaver and kydex cheek rest are good ideas as well.

>Impact wrench to remove muzzle nut
I can confirm that one was needed with early numbered KSGs (I have one).
I see no need for the stainless steel followers. The extended selector lever is a maybe (I'm fine with the stock one) but a limbsaver and a kydex cheek rest are highly recommended by me.
The kick is pretty brutal with 3" shells.
Fun fact:
Aguila mini shells work fine in it. It'll hold 11 slugs or 12 shotshells in each tube if you want to play with them.
Also, it is pretty easy to short stroke, so rack with authority.

The plastic followers probably work fine, but once you pop them out and hold them, you'll want something sturdier. I never kept mine in long enough to tell. The selector lever is the most important mod you can make if you ask me, unless you like shifting your grip or having the stock one dig into your wrist.

ive shot clays with a ksg. 18" cylinder bore is awful for it. a $300 used over-under would be better for it or a pump with a longer barrel

i can confirm everything in this post. the limbsaver makes it fun to shoot. otherwise it gets painful quick.

I never had a need for one. Just don't hold it like a retard.

Like the other folks in this thread, I have never had a problem with this. This product seems useless to me.

I actually had pretty good luck with the KSG and clays, even without a choke.
Shooting skeet off the back porch (on family land), I did quite well. Sporting clays is fine, except for some long range shots. American skeet, the range is never far enough to need a choke in my experience.
DESU, I found that I really liked to shoot skeet/clays through a gun with a red dot sight (both eyes open shooting) over my Benelli M2 with just the standard stock sight. The KSG is well balanced and is very quick to swing/aim.
