Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
Very nice, clean; looks like it could use some range use though, lol. How old is it? I would've done without the stamp myself.

It's a blued Wingmaster and was before they started producing "Police" models, so I would say pretty old. It's seen quite a bit of use.
No worries about the "stamp". It's tax exempt so there really isn't any stamp on the paperwork. I don't "own" it. It's a work gun.

That thing reminds me of my classy uncle from Georgia that smokes a pipe and reads lots of leather bound books.

All business! One day I will own one very similar. Why is it that we can own a 16" barrel on an AR but cannot on a shot gun?

Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
In its simplistic form, an 870 is quite possibly one of the best HD guns, especially when loaded with #1 buckshot. It could be an intruders final nightmare without question.

Well I'm all out of excuses then; like it a lot.

Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
Very businesslike +1
Yet if you are halfway tall, why not go 18.25" and do a Choate extension tube?
If you want shortie, the 20ga pistol grip NFA Ithacas with 14" barrels are a hot ticket.
I don't want the kind of job where they expect a shotgun to suffice... (ETA) Unless it's professional bird hunter!

Because I have a fully worked over 870 with a +2 Scattergun tech extension and MMC sights. The point of this gun is small and light.

Why? What do you think a 14" 20ga will do that a 14" 12ga wont?

Not sure exactly what you mean by that. I carry this weapon in addition to a suppressed M4 and a 700 in .308. They are all different tools for different tasks. I am confident in my ability with the 870 and can solve quite a few problems with them. For example my main reason for this weapon is vehicle takedowns where the heavy payload works better through glass and sheetmetal than the M4. It will also more than likely be my defensive weapon when I deploy with the long gun since it's so compact and lightweight.

Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
Awesome, Id use it for skeet too! its great fun to do sporting clays with a gun like that especially with all the looks youll get! lol
Laugh as you might, but ive shot with some guys that have done very well on a skeet course with a shotty just like yours! I just bought one (express super mag) and cant wait to get out and try it! enjoy.

Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
Sporting clays? Good luck. I have shot skeet and sporting clays pretty extensively and I can tell you it would not be ideal.

Re: "Tactical" Shotgun
I left the wood furniture on my 870 police magnum. At times I wish I had a model more tactical sound, but the wood is timeless. For home defense, it serves its purpose well.
