OK there studly, we need some specs on this!
A certain singer was asking!
I ran this by our girl and here is her eval!For 2010, our new Model 887 Nitro Mag Tactical combines supreme toughness and dependability with a handy 18 1/2" barrel, a 2-shot magazine extension and a barrel clamp with integral Picatinny rails for mounting your flashlight or other accessories. It also includes a ported, extended tactical Rem™ Choke and receiver mounted on Picatinny rail.
Key Features:
- Action design based on the venerable Model 870 - ultra-smooth and reliable Check
- Rugged ArmorLokt™ coating totally prevents rust on all exterior surfaces Big plus!
- SuperCell recoil pad reduces the felt recoil up to 54% -5
- Our softest-shooting pump gun ever -10!
- Awesome balance and natural pointing characteristics +10
- Handles 12-gauge 2 3/4", 3", 3 1/2" loads interchangeably no comment?
- 2-shot magazine extension always a plus!
- Barrel clamp with integral Picatinny rails she was confused.
- Rugged synthetic stock and fore-end with specially contoure grip panels much appreciated!
- 18 1/2" barrel with solid rib and HiViz® front sight good for her poor night viz.
- Sling swivel studs built-inDUH?
- Includes ported, extended tactical Rem Choke just in case.
The 887 differs from the 870 in that it has the Armor-Lokt coating, the slide release is on the front of the trigger guard, and it has a rotating/locking bolt.

How much?

I like the forearm... I always wondered why someone hadn't used a similar set up on a "tactical" shotgun.
The receiver is interesting? Plastic over steel?
Highly interested in this since I was looking at the Remington 870 Express Tactical. Seems like this one is a much better model. I'm assuming it holds 8 rounds?
I'm interested in this gun. I already own a 870, but I left it stock. Of the few things I'd like to do to mine, this model seems to come with it already.
What was wrong with the 870 that it really needed all this to be a better tactical shotgun? My understanding was that the existing design was pretty much untouchable in terms of reliability and durability. For a primary defensive shotgun I think I would be less likely to jump on this over an 870. After it's out for a while with no problems I may change my mind.

Cause it won't fit in the locks or because Moe and Curly pinched their fingers in the loaderator hole?12 months and that queer little plastic extension on the pump will be gone if they plan on selling it in the LE arena.
