Remington tactical shotguns are rugged, ultra-dependable and continually evolve as they’re called to serve in new, increasingly demanding environments. Built on our legendary pump action that’s become the gold standard for high-risk applications, the Model 870™ Express Tactical with a quick pointing 18 1/2” barrel and includes our extended ported Tactical Rem Choke. It packs a full 7 rounds of 2 3/4” or 3” 12-gauge firepower with the factory installed 2-shot extension.
The Model 870™ Express® Tactical with XS® Ghost Ring Sights is optimized for rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement with the XS blade sight and XS Ghost Ring sight rail (fully adjustable for windage and elevation), which accepts optics and sight systems as well. Both models have black synthetic stocks and fore-ends with sling swivel studs. Receivers are drilled and tapped.

I got bit hard by Remington's crappy quality control. Five minutes of Internet research on Remington 870s current production would have revealed 100s of others who have had the exact same problem that I experienced.
Basic problem: First shot fire, gun was locked up and would not eject spent shell. After a few minutes of wiggling the action, it finally ejected. Second and third shots the exact same.
Called Remington, they requested to have it sent in for repair. A few weeks later the gun was back in my possession. It seems to work fine now but I have no confidence in the reliability of this shotgun, especially since I have it set up as self-defense gun.
If this would have been an isolated incident, I would not have a problem with Remington. I don't expect anybody to be perfect all the time. But considering the 100s of other modern production 870s with this same problem that managed to leave the factory, I will not buy ANYTHING Remington ever again.
As far as Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore goes, 5 stars all the way around. This is my go-to online store for firearms!
