Can anyone here help me wrap my head around this one?

I'm baffled, too. The 870 is a great shotgun, but I wouldn't want to go into combat with one unless it was all I could get my hands on. It probably is the least expensive model though at $357.99.

However, it should be adequate to control a crowd of 4th graders on a field trip.

Are you saying there are better combat shotguns than the 870, or that you don’t like shotguns for combat? Just a curious question, no flaming intended whatsoever.

How come? Are you more partial to auto-loaders?

I'm in the market for a good shotgun so just wondering. I want something for all around purposes, 3-gun competitions, home defense, SHTF.
