Heat shield question

[remny1]

Can someone recommend a heat shield that is good quality for a 870 home defense with 18" barrel please. I already understand alot of peoples opinion on heat shields functionality and not being needed and it turns into a thread about that but either way can someone recommend one that will fit and not interfere with the bead sight and not come loose/scratch up the barrel. I have the flat black barrel which I believe is the parkerized? If someone could chime in. Thanks in advance

Go with the Tacstar. Have had on on a shotgun for years. It is metal, and you can bend the mounting parts to get it mounted properly. One thing to think about is cleaning. IF you get your gun wet or worse, you will need to clean UNDER that heat shield! If you have access to a compressor or some way to immerse the entire barrel, then you may be ok. But it's still easier to take the shield off sometimes to clean the exterior of the gun to keep it from rusting.
