“The most durable shot­gun on the planet. We expe­ri­enced that issue, but after call­ing Rem­ing­ton, they sent us new front sights for all of our shot­guns and we replaced them using red loc­tite which has solved the problem. The only issue we have had with our col­lec­tion of 887s is that the front sight needs to be secured using epoxy or red loc­tite or it could pop off and be lost dur­ing nor­mal police or mil­i­tary oper­a­tions. I found dur­ing firearms qual­i­fi­ca­tion that our offi­cers had no prob­lem qual­i­fy­ing and they actu­ally com­mented that they pre­ferred the 887 over the 870 model. The felt recoil is sup­pressed quite a bit due to over­all design and the recoil pad that comes stan­dard. The slide (fore-end) release is slightly dif­fer­ent and the fore-end itself is much longer. The 887 func­tions very sim­i­lar to the 870 but has a few dif­fer­ences. When Rem­ing­ton released the 887 Tac­ti­cal model, with the highly durable black-coated fin­ish, our police depart­ment imme­di­ately switched Rem­ing­ton mod­els and now we exclu­sively use the 887. The issue our agency had with the Rem­ing­ton 870 shot­guns was that the fin­ish required a great deal of main­te­nance due to the harsh salt air water­borne envi­ron­ment that com­prises our juris­dic­tion. My police agency has used sev­eral dif­fer­ent shot­guns for nor­mal every­day duty use, the Moss­berg 500, the Rem­ing­ton 870, and now finally the Rem­ing­ton 887. Rem­ing­ton has now pro­duced a shot­gun specif­i­cally for law enforce­ment and mil­i­tary appli­ca­tion, the model 887. I have also been a Rem­ing­ton armorer since 1995 there­fore, I am very famil­iar with, and fond of, Rem­ing­ton shot­guns, espe­cially the 870. I have owned a Rem­ing­ton 870 shot­gun, which I have used for police patrol and tac­ti­cal duties, for over 25 years. Now, please do not mis­un­der­stand me, the 870 is a fine shot­gun that is highly reli­able and will last a life­time, even in unfor­giv­ing envi­ron­ments. Rem­ing­ton Arms has a long his­tory of man­u­fac­tur­ing shot­guns for law enforce­ment and mil­i­tary appli­ca­tions but until recently the most pop­u­lar model, the Rem­ing­ton 870 12 gauge pump-action shot­gun, was a con­verted hunt­ing shot­gun with a shorter bar­rel and a few tac­ti­cal upgrades.
