[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1102546, member: 6064"] Shadowrider, they are not competitive for all the reasons I have posted many times and have been told by all (870 lovers/tactical crowd) that I just don't know what I am talking about, and yet I never see any of these folks out shooting let alone competing and teaching all over the world. Readers Digest version cause I am sick of re-posting all this stuff. Hard to load and almost imposible to round and deburr the feed area so it will always be harder to load and tear up thumbs and shells compaired to any Nova. They like to break, and jam, and take two pumps to load one shell. They like to stick any shell that isn't high brass and is very finicky as to ammo. The shell cutoff tabs like to come unstaked and this cause it,s own brand of malfunctions whern pumping at speed. The 870 like many guns out there is a good enough gun untill you really start to use it a lot, and the folks that love them shoot maybe a few hundred rounds a year slow fire and call them good, heck that isn't even a good practice session for an action shotgunner or 3-gunner...but like I said everyone ( all the 870 folks and tactical guys ) will tell me I am wrong so use this for what it,s worth.
