so what's /k/'s opinion on the remington 870 express? (pic related)
also, i was wondering, would it be legal for someone my age (18) to purchase? i saw in some other forums that it might be considered a handgun (because it lacks the "fired from the shoulder" part of the definition of a shotgun) and really don't feel like getting fucked by the atf.

Get a 500
And if some retard wont sell it to you for some reason just put the pistol grip on afterwards.

OP, have you ever fired a shotgun before? Firing with a pistol grip really isn't optimal. I would suggest getting an 870 with a stock instead.

Beyond that, why the 870 Express? I have one, and mine jams up like a bitch with shitty ammo. If I were you OP, I'd grab a Mossberg 500 or 590. The higher end LEO model 870s are good quality, but are a lot more expensive than most Mossbergs.

You might get a good 870 Express, but if I could do it over again, I would get the Mossberg 590.

i've fired a 500 cruiser a few times and found it pretty comfortable. i had always heard that the 870 had a decent reputation, but i should have assumed it was the le versions that were good. the 500 was my next option.

the 870 is still a good shotgun.
Some people complain they are made from stamped parts= inferior parts.
I have one (pic related) and have no issues.
For the price it works for me.
And its still the number 1 shotgun that cops are issued.
If there were really problems with the 870, the cops would stop issuing them.

But for the most part you will find Brand snobs.
these are the people who will bitch at any weapon you ask about and tell you to buy a glawk.

meh

absolutely, as long as you're not a felon or some other type of shithead.

it's a shotgun and the people in those other forums were fucking idiots who need to be chemically castrated.

That's what I'm saying though. There is a difference between what LEO uses and the 870 Express.

OP, in my experience (in comparing my friends 500 and my 870), his 500 shot almost every shot just fine straight out of the box, and my 870 didn't. After a couple of years of use, my 870 has gotten somewhat more reliable, but like I said, cheap target ammo doesn't work well on my Express. It does do well with most buckshot loads though.

The 870 express will work as a shotgun, but if you want the best bang for your buck, I would consider a mossberg.

If you're gonna get an 870, don't get an Express model. Sure, they're cheap, but they're the worst quality 870 you could get. Get a Wingmaster, Police, Marine, Super Magnum, or XCS. Anything but the express model.

Or just get a Mossberg 500 or a 590. It'd probably be cheaper.

if you want "bang for your buck", get a Chinese 870 clone like the IAC Hawk or the H&R Pardner
