Just bought my 1st shotgun, 870 Express Tactical, Mod Recommendations?

[NJSlick 0]

Well the title of the thread pretty much sums it up.. Just bought a new 870 Express Tactical, what would you all recommend as some first mods? Thanks

It's good to go. You don't "have" to do anything to it.

[T Bill 649]

Go to the range and change it from new to used!

Lol, knew I was setting myself up for those kind of responses

After several hundred rounds down the pipe, I went through defensive shotgun class and decided to do some mods to improve performance, combat reload times, and/or decrease threat response times:

 

Stainless Steel Follower

Non-MIM Extractor

Tactical Jumbo Head Safety

6 RD Side Saddle Shell Holder

Tac4 4-Round Speed Stripper

 

I will be adding a picatinny rail section on the barrel for my light with a coiled cord and remote switch.

Good luck, Slick.

Mind my noobieness but what is considered a "pistol grip" for a shotgun? I was thinking of getting this Magpul forend, is this Jersey legal?

Get the Magpul furniture. It really is nice. I have it on mine. Fits like a glove.

Your brain and training your muscles to load, shoot, safe, pump etc are the best accessories.

That looks badass! Hows the recoil after the new furniture? Difficult to install?

I looked at the Mossbergs, but none were available. Found this 870 on a random search for some camo hoodies for my godson. Can't wait to take it to the range

2nd an aftermarket metal follower. My stock plastic follower was hanging up occasionally which resulted in shells not ejecting from the tube consistently. No problems since replacing it with a GG&G follower.

Follower.. flash light... side saddle.... and some good ammo

How easy is it to install that? Do I need a gunsmith?

Nah. I took my entire 870 apart last Saturday for the first time. It was easy. There are plenty of videos on YouTube describing each upgrade and how to do it.
