I went to a local gun show this weekend to check out and handle some shotguns. The primary role for this shotgun would be for home defense. I would like to do some hunting w/ it as well. I've really become a fan of the remington 870's because of their versatility and accessories. I'm very fond of the synthetic home defese model because of it's synthetic stocks and the fact that I can buy a longer barrel for hunting later. The only thing that has really discouraged me about them is their limited 4+1 capacity. After reading some posts regarding magazine extension, it seems like one has to do some modification work to remove the magazine "dimples" to add an extended magazine. I'm not really to comfortable doing that.
But lo and behold i found something that I really liked at the gun show. It was a remongton 870 police model magnum. I didn't buy it however. I wasn't sure (and neither was the salesman, which made me leary of buying from him) if it was interchangeable w/ standard remington 870 accesories and barrels. Does anyone know if it is and if it isn't, is there a way to buy a higher capacity remington 870 magnum home defense model? Thanks in advance.
