Remington 870 Express 81197 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The 100% American made Model 870 has evolved to keep pace with the rapidly changing needs of the self- defense and law enforcement markets alike. Remington has been a leader in the field of safety and performance features. Its unique design combines a balanced sear plus inertia firing pin to prevent discharge unless the action is completely closed and the trigger depressed. A large ejection port stays unobstructed when shooting over walls, car hoods or other barriers. The shotgun also features non- binding twin action bars that are smooth and easy to operate. Though considered common place today, Remington first pioneered this break- through technology in the years immediately following World War II. The Remington 870 is chambered for 2-3/4" shells, but can easily handle jaw rattling 3" magnum buckshot. A bead front sight rides on the barrel and gets a shooter on target quickly. All metal parts wear a matte blued finish.
