What a joke!
The Remington 870 is the best selling shotgun in history.
I went with the 500 Special Tactical Pump with the MarineCoat Steel Nickel finish. It has an 18.5” barrel and 3” chamber. Take the block out and it holds 5 rounds + 1 in the chamber.
Love it.
My brother has one. He's had it since around 1975. The design is even older than that, the 870 was introduced in 1950. You'd think someone, possibly as many as 10 million someones, would have noticed this "design flaw" by now. They built the 10 millionth 870 in 2009, making the 870 the best-selling shotgun in the history of the world.
