My favorite pump has always been the 870. It feels better in my hands and the action seems crisper.
Despite that the only pump I now own is a Winchester 1200. It has always performed perfectly so I can’t really knock it.
I much prefer the Winchester; ergonomically, it’s smoother for me to rest my trigger finger on the safety, and move it backwards for a shot after releasing the safety. That, and the slide release behind the trigger. Both are opposite in the Remington, as you know. Have a 1300 for home defense, and the controls are second nature.
