[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2685503, member: 27991"] Been shooting 870 for over 40 years. Dove, quail, squirrel, rabbit, duck, goose, turkey, skeet, trap, cans, whatever. Superlites to heaviest 3" loads. Maybe it's a miracle, but I have never short stroked a shell. Would not hesitate to grab any of my 870s in any needed situation. Same goes for my 1100s. ANY arm you plan on using for HD or SD, use the crap out of it, with a variety of loads. Determine reliability and appropriate load before staking your life on it. As to Hoddy's 'shot in one arm'; in that situation, any long gun will be awkward, grab the 1911. [/QUOTE]
