I consider firing 2 3/4" shells in shorter 2 5/8" chambers to be perfectly safe. And I'm in good company. I believe many gun manufacturers continued chambering their guns with the sort chamber and recommended using the longer shell. Here is a factory Parker hang tag for evidence. Note the chamber length and the shell length.
