Hog Buster I just tried what you asked and with my old 870 absolutely no movement was detected. But with the slide unlocked after pulling the trigger I was able to get the old gun to open about 1/16th of an inch by picking it straight up about 3" and letting it fall on its recoil pad (my crude simulation of recoil)

The new 870 also did not have much of a reaction, opening perhaps 1/32 to 1/16 at Most upon trigger pull, but the same crude test opened the action to about the same point as seen in the first photo I put up.......the slide is slightly slicker and moves more freely than the old gun.
