For anyone considering\u00a0a shotgun for personal protection inside the home, the Remington 870 is an excellent choice… usually. The viability of the 870 as a self-defense tool is completely dependent on how the gun has been set up and the quality of the parts used. In the previous installment of our series on defensive shotguns<\/a>,\u00a0I covered some of the basics of setting up a Remington 870 for home defense<\/a> and the options you have when selecting a base model. My personal recommendation is to look for a used surplus 870 Police and swap out worn or unwanted parts as needed, but there are plenty of other routes to owning\u00a0a solid fighting 870.
