I has someone comment on the gun of the week being a model 870 instead of the 1100 as the 1100 is an auto loader. He is correct, but the model shown below is a model 1100 Tactical, which is a pump action. I noticed he was from Fayetteville, NC, home of Fort Bragg and it got me to thinking about the 870. Does anyone know if it is being used in the Gulf? Is the 870 still issued and used by the military? I know that in Vietnam, there was at least one 870 per squad. It is one tough and rugged shotgun and would'nt mind having one.
