A few months later I had my own, an 887 Nitro Mag tactical. After shooting hundreds of rounds through his, from birdshot to slug, I knew what I was going to buy. Underneath the exterior Remington has made a few modifications to their design that improve operation. Its space age in a world of wood and metal, and regardless of its bulky appearance is a smidge heavier than its predecessor the 870. The Nitro Mag looks cool, and looking cool is half the battle. I did in fact bring it home in one piece. Lucky me, Howard had obtained his recently and despite his intimate knowledge how a fellow Marine can break things, offered me the chance to “break it in”.
I first picked one up when I borrowed Howard Hall’s to attend a week long shotgun course. There was no reason to re-invent the wheel, so Remington refined it instead. For the most part pump action shotguns have changed little since John Browning’s model 1893, and most innovation (after double action bars) was a plethora of accessories you could add on to your favorite gun to make it as tactical, or look like bush. Remington has taken the venerable and reliable shotgun and pulled it into the 21 st century.
