New 870 Police Magnum!

[ShotgunSam870]

Just purchased a brand new Remington 870 Police Magnum, equipped with Tritium Rifle Sights, 18.5” barrel, and Parkerized finish. This is my second 870, and I decided I wanted the best of the best that Remington has to offer. So far no external upgrades, might keep it the way it is, but considering a Surefire DSF Forend. Picked it up just this past Sunday, so I haven’t even fired it yet. Pictures don’t do it a justice, looks even better in person. Remington all the way!

Nice! Congrats on the 870P. I bought a new parked/walnut version in 2011 - I shoot it a lot and it's been running great. Enjoy yours!

Nice! I was considering a walnut version, but opted for the synthetic furniture. I think the walnut furniture looks great 870s. I couldn’t find many police trade in 870Ps so I decided it was better to spend the extra $ and get one brand new.

Congratulations on your 870P. It should outlast your great grandkids. Ours is always standing quietly ready at home, also wears the standard synthetic stock and rifle sights, with the old Sure Fire foreend and a sling. The 870 is a reliable pump.

Thank you very much! I really enjoy the nice and easy handling, with it being a smaller weapon as a whole. Ammo capacity irked me a first (4+1), but began to grow on me. Can’t wait for many, many more range days with it!

Congrats on your purchase.

Practice combat loading and work on keeping that mag tube full. A good process it to use light shot loads and topping off the mag tube while shooting. If the gun goes dry you can either let gravity help and drop a round in the chamber through the open ejection port from over the top of the receiver or come from underneath to slide a round in. Both methods have their advantages.

If you haven't attended any formal training I would recommend you do so.

Enjoy and be safe.

Thanks! In the 4 or 5 times I’ve gone shooting with it, I love it even more. I have practiced cycling the action as soon as the shot breaks, for rapid follow up shots. I still need to practice keeping her topped off and full loaded.

Stay safe and shoot straight.

If you could find a copy of magpuls shotgun course, would be worth the asking price. It covers a lot of fundementals for home defense and self defense and techniques.

I've just ordered an 870 Police. What is the difference between the 870 Police and the Police Magnum?

[John A.]

I would assume the magnum will be chambered to accept longer shells.
