Another advantage of the Police version is it has what is called a flexi tab, in the instance you have a shell latch failure and a shell is allowed into the area above the shell carrier, it will go ahead and feed it, not so with the field guns. That is the main reason the Police guns are 100 to 125.00 more for what appears to be an express.

Honestly, I've not made many "bad" firearm purchase decisions, but, somehow, I feel foolish for not verifying all of them with the folks on this forum ahead of time.   

The combined knowledge and willingness to "teach" by it's members are most impressive.

I have to admit I have .
Most notably a S&W 669, and a Walther P - 38, nothing about the guns, just the try before you buy.
Once I got a chance to shoot them I HATED them.

The Wingmasters I carried at Aviano Air Base, Italy had the black matte finish. They were really nice and functioned like clockwork. The 870's I have now are newer but not quite as smooth. Still love shooting them and know they are going to work no matter what.

My dad just inherited a basically NIB 870 Express with hard case and 2/3 box of shells (sadly, due to my mom's uncle, who has Alzheimer's).

I just inherited my Grandpa's 870 Wingmaster in.... wait for it.... 16 Guage  ;D  It needs some clean-up and probably a good cleaning which it will get this weekend.  I also got his Remington 511 Scoremaster 22 short/long/long rifle which is rougher yet and missing the Williams Peep sight it had on it last time I saw it, need to make some calls  :).   The 22 has some issues one is the stock's finish is aobut 40% and the other is with the trigger, the pull is horrible and the bolt cams up when its pulled so I have a little work to do tomorrow after church.  Not sure what to do about the stock-refinish, replace or just leave it?  Grandpa would probably love to see his grandson breathe some life back into it...

I kinda like the 16 gauge but the supply of factory loads is limited.

Enjoy Magoo!

I'd never thought much about it until my landlord had me stash her guns in the attic of the house I was renting.  Her son was a bit of a drunken dumbass.  Included in that stash of guns was a mid 40's o 50's Belgian FN, Browning Sweet 16!  A real beauty too!  Didn't look like it had been shot much and she was more than happy for me to clean it up and have my way with it!  I fell for that gun and offered her a decent price for it but alas, she had an extensive local family and I missed out!

The whole reason for the 16 was to have more power then a 20 offered, but would still point and swing better then a 12 ga.   which were big heavy pigs until about 50 to 60 years ago.
