My personal go to gun is an old 870 Wingmaster Riot, basically the same as the Police, excpet for the blued finsih versus the Park'd job on the Police guns. Id shy away from the Express if you can, but they are still solid guns, especially compared to the Mossberg.

I like mine simple, so here's what Ive done. Scattergun Tech (pre-wilson) +2 extension with clamp, Speedfeed 12.5 LOP synthetic stock (without the pistol grip or round storage), chopped down Express synthetic forend ( I abhor corn cob forends, and my factory riot wood stocks are too pretty to get beat up in the patrol car), and Mossberg Ghost Ring sights (cheaper than any other aftermarket sight, and just as good, IMO). Works great for me.
