Yes, you can fire slugs and shot out of a 870 Express. Your 870 Express has a smooth-bore barrel so your not going to be able to shoot sabot slugs accurately, your barrel has no rifling to stabilize sabots. If you want to accurately shoots slugs you'll need fostered/rifled slugs. The only problem you might have is finding low recoil rifled slugs.
