Get what shotgun you want. Even a diehard 870 fan like me has owned and liked other shotguns. BUT....

An 870 is hard to beat for versatility, reliability and durability. Some folks here must be getting bored hearing me singing the praises of the old Remington, but it's an amazing shotgun.

IMO, any shotgun battery starts with the 870.

Those other shotguns may be fine weapons also. Consider tho,do you get the high priced geewhiz, of get the 870 and have some money for ammo,range time and maybe even a hunting trip or match?

All four of the 870s here cost less added up than my neighbor's Perazzi....
