I've been hitting this site for a while and thought I would join and say hello.
My reason for the interest here is my 870 Express that I'm setting up for HD. If I knew what I know now when I bought this, I would definitely have gotten a police or at least a Wingmaster. I know the venerable 870 is a great design but this shotgun seriously could have come from China for all the cheap polymer and seeming disregard to finish in manufacturing, but I digress.
My initial intent was to make it easy for my wife to shoot so I put a Knoxx Blackhawk stock on it. With low recoil buckshot she can easily handle it just holding the pistol grip. At that time, I added a mag spring and follower as well as a Wilson Combat Jumbo head safety. After a little reading on this site, I've ordered a police trigger group, a Timney upgrade (yes, I'm a trigger snob), a non-MIM extractor and a heavier carrier latch spring. If there's anything else y'all think I need or might have missed, please lemme know.
I also decided to make it an SBS and when my ATF stamp comes back I'm going to have the barrel cut at 12.5". I also put in an ATF Form for and purchased a Salvo 12. This won't ever be for anything other than HD. I have a Browning BPS I use for hunting (being a lefty the bottom eject works great for me).
Cheers y'all!
