If you insist on keeping the chamber empty, practice racking the slide while holding a shell between your index and middle fingers of your off hand, then immediately feeding that shell into the magazine. After that, shoot two, reload two... rinse and repeat as needed or until your ammo runs out. Against multiple targets you can shoot the shotgun dry if necessary before transitioning to your sidearm.
I’d make the necessary modifications and buy a magazine extension and put it up for future need in a SHTF or PAW situation but I wouldn’t advise installing it on the shotgun just for possible home invasions. There is no significant advantage in having a magazine extension on a HD shotgun if you practice reloading and transitioning in the pattern suggested. Not having a magazine extension will be a significant advantage if you wind up in court afterwards.
BTW, you bought the right shotgun but like a lot of other things it just needs a few adjustments for your intended purposes. Have fun!
