H&R 1871 Pardner Protector Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Great shotgun!

I bought this yesterday and took it out to my range today... What a great shotgun! Smooth action and built like a tank (a HEAVY tank!). It's been a while since I owned a scattergun and thought I would make this my home defense weapon. Aside from a sore sh

Home Defense

After looking at other options I decided this tactical shotgun was exactly what I was looking for. It’s solidly built - good “feel” to it when putting a round into the chamber. It will definitely do what I need it to do.

Affordable home defense shotgun

It doesn’t look pretty but it doesn’t have to. It fires the shells and that’s it’s job. Smooth action and easy pump. I bought mine on sale and worth the price. I’m frugal when it come to prices for my firearms. I’m no rich man to afford a fancy firearm bu

Great Gun

This is a great shotgun, it works flawlessly with different types of ammo. It is built very sturdy and holds up to lots of use.

Cheap shotgun - horrible instructions

The instructions that come with the shotgun are just plain wrong. Which, as a first time shotgun owner confused me so much that I had to go online to figure what youtube could tell me.

Good affordable home defense shotgun

Gets the job done for a home defense shotgun. Reasonable price if you don't want to spend the extra $ for a brand name

Fine Shotgun

Right out of the box I gave it a good cleaning and lubed the action I like to keep a light film of oil on all my guns . So I went to the range to fire it and was pleasantly surprised at the low amount of recoil I tried slugs and .00 buck and it worked per

UPDATE: Unable to load Magazine out of box

Took the gun out today and shot it for the first time since getting it back from the Gunsmith. A single call to H&R got me a free mailing label through Remington to a gun shop in the next state, and free return shipping. The shotgun now loads and func

Unable to load Magazine out of box

Bought 4/14 from Cabelas. A few months later took out of box and attempted to load, but entrance to tube magazine was too small to allow shells in. Tried several brands and types of shells, no go. Called H&R and did get free pick-up and shipping for r

Excellent home defense gun for the money!

I purchased this gun from Cabelas a couple of months ago when it went sale. I have since ran several boxes of misc 00 buck through it with no problems. I own five 870's and this H&R is almost a dead on 870 copy. This is a very good home defense shotgu

Great value

I bought one of these at cabela's today . I've been researching this shotgun for a while and decided to buy it when they put it on sale.Even though I have not shot it yet It seems to be a lot of gun for the money.Its length of pull is alittle shorter than

Hate to rate low

I would be rating this 5 out of 5 but, after my first time shooting this, I take it home to clean it, stripping it completely. Upon putting it back together I find the barrel magazine is not feeding any rounds... I took it to my local gunsmith and he said

Good shotgun for a good price

I have thoroughly enjoyed mine since I first got it. Feels heavy in a good way and I have to say, sure does sound nice when you go to chamber a round. Get one, you won't regret it if you are looking for an affordable shotgun.

Dont Let the price fool you

several years ago while taking a week long shotgun coarse In rule Arizona, I had a major breakage of my 870 police. I drove to a nearby town in a desperate attempt to find replacement parts. I was able to purchase a new Pardner for less than the parts. No

Great Shooter

Believe all these good reviews. I liked the gun so much I bought the 20 Ga too.. I love the grip at the pistol grip. Not to fat like the 870. Leveled well when you bring it up to your shoulder. Did not notice the kick unlike the 870. You have to push a li

This is a tank.

This shotgun is a freakin' tank. I bought it as a cheap alternative to keeping my more expensive shotguns in my vehicle. I figured this thing would be cheaply built, I was wrong. This thing is sturdy and barely moves (I have it with a 21 inch barrel). It

Great shotgun at a good price

I bought this shotgun so my wife had a pump gun to use with low recoil rounds my semi auto won't cycle. The first thing I noticed was the weight, it seemed heavy compared to other pump guns I've owned. Once I took it to the range, I found the additional w

great!

I love this gun, the first time i took it out to the range and fired it it was great. i hardly noticed the recoil and every time i pulled the trigger my sights came right back to my target. I want another one!

Great Shotgun

I recently purchased this gun for home defense. I took it out the first day and removed the plug to allow for a full load and put 100 federal shells through it without a single mishap. We decided to put it to the test and rapid fired all 6 shots as quickl

Best shotgun ever

The H&R pardner Pump Shotgun is the best shotgun I have ever owned. It shoots very well right out of the box.The only Problem is the ejector you cant baby it you have to slam it back or the shell will jam.

BIG Bang for your buck

Bought this for home defense. Factory stock was ok but my wife loves to shoot so I installed a Blackhawk Gen 11 recoil reducing stock on it.So now not only does the pardner look awesome but we can shoot all day without any discomfort.500 rounds and not a

Decent gun for a great price

Got the 12 gauge model works great for the price no problems yet only 200rnds through it. Stock is a little wobbley but fixed that with an aftermarket stock. Easy to serivce but wish it had a better finish.

hr 12 gauge

Great for the price can't beat it shot over 500 shells no problems goes bang every time

I have had this shotgun for 15 years,it is nothing but excellent.Yes a little heavy,but it helps with recoil,solid,you can shake or rattle this gun and no noise.Close tollarances,I use it for everything ,truck carry,hunting to,home defense,target and all

First off this shotgun is heavy which has a tendency NOT to fly around like my shockwave and it cost half as much. A birdshead 870 grip fits it perfect and it is about $25, without the mag plug and the mag spring retainer you have a 7 shot. Like it so muc

Gun arrived in great condition and working order. All parts included. Solid and all business.

Best price I've seen on this shotgun. Note it is 7.5 pouns, which reduces felt "kick". This is a basic, no frills, solid self defense shotgun.

This shot gun is basically a clone of the famous Remington 870 except for a few parts. The buttstock and forearm material make this gun fairly heavy. It shoots and cycles well with Fiocchi Managed Recoil Buckshot. Even though it functioned fine with me, I

I haven't test fired it yet but everything about it appears to be a solid well made product. I did some research and found all parts except the barrel interchange with Rem 870. The action is smooth and fit and finish is excellent. The piece is inspected b

all metal solid gun.Heavy duty is the best way to describe it.

great gun !

I use this shotgun for three gun at my local range. It is a bit heavy but that helps with recoil. It shoots a tight group with birdshot even with the cylinder bore. They had one target that was about 50 feet away with three clay targets spread out on it.
