Early Christmas gift from my in-laws. Elzetta mount and streamlight polytac hp light. Love it!
Nice! I almost bought one of those Elzetta mounts a few years back, but talked myself out of it because I didn't like how far out to the side it extended. But with the larger lens on that flashlight, it works really well.
I'm very happy with it. Turned out exactly how I planned.

Thinking about buying a red dot for it. I don't want anything expensive, just something to try out and see if I like it. Thinking of the Bushnell trs25.

Looks good, but how does it feel slung across your back with the flashlight & shell carrier on the same side as the sling?

not good lol. I feel like i wont have across my back very often though. When i'm using the gun i'll have it either in two point or single point across my front. I figure if i have to do a lot of walking i'll carry more to my side. I tried carrying it on my back without the attachments and it still wasn't very comfortable. I like it across my front a lot better.

So i was able to put about 50 rounds through it before i went to work today. I wanted to make sure the flashlight and shell carrier stayed on nice and tight and they did. Only concerning thing was out of the 50 or so rounds i shot, 2 of them locked the slide up. It was pumping fine and then all of sudden it would lock up. I would then give it a really hard rack and it would eject the round. I did some online digging and cheap bird shot ammo i guess has been known to cause the 870 to lock up like that. I'm going to clean it up and oil it tonight and run some more rounds through it tomorrow and see what it does.

Yeah, that's not unusual with steel-cup shotshells in a new gun, especially if they're the cheap promo loads. Unless you're shooting really terrible-quality ammo (2 out of 50 doesn't sound that bad), that will go away as any rough spots in the chamber wear in. Just yank them out and keep shooting, you won't hurt the gun by doing so.
What specific shells were you shooting, by the way?

I did some google searching last night and came to the same conscious. I put another box of bird shot through it today with a couple 00 buck mixed in and didn't have any issues at all. I was shooting a mix of Federal and Winchester game loads.
