The forearm mounted mag cut off makes the Nova the first choice for me. I have an 870, too since it was my first pump issued to as a cop.

Buy Benelli M2.

This is the correct answer. I would add the Beretta 1301 Tactical (with bolt shroud kit) as an option as well.

Okay, #1 I agree with, the aftermarket for the SN isn’t even 10% what it is for the 870, still you can find some good parts.

You lost me with #2 though. The SN is so much smoother out of the box than any recent 870 it’s not even funny. Maybe y’all have gotten some defective one or something.

I assume the 870 is an Express and you want to stay with a pump instead of an auto. Strip the accessories you added to the 870 tactical and sell them both. Then find a 870 Police Magnum and install your accessories onto it. Or sell all of it and get a Mossberg 590A1 in whatever flavor suits you and reconfigure it to your liking.

I just purchased a Benelli M2 Tactical a couple weeks ago (LGS had them on sale for $999).

Definitely of higher quality than my 870. Silky smooth everything.

Just got a GG&G weapon light mount for it today from Botach, who is/was blowing them out for only $10 shipped.
