Just wondering if it is possible to switch the safety around (just flip) on the 870 to make the weapon more left-handed user friendly. Right now I would have to take my hand off the trugger guard and go under the shotgun to hit the safety on the other side of the firearm. Turning the safety off is no problem though, very easy to hit.

Is it a Wingmaster or Express?

870 express police magnum.

The older Remingtons had the correct holes drilled so that you could take apart the trigger housing and flip it around yourself using the same ball,spring, and clip. I think if you call them now they will deny it can be done. A gun smith can probably do it for you.

Thanks for the link oldschool. Now I know it can be done. One shop owner I went to today said it could be done, the other shop i was at and asked the same question they looked at me like i had three heads.

If you are near PK90 Arm-n-Ammo I'm sure Paul can do it for you.

About the same distance I was from of the shop I was going to buy an 870 from today.. but if he can do it I would rather have him order it and install the safety and do the whole thing.

im glad this popped up. i shoot shotguns lefty as well and the trigger gaurd saftey was always really akward to function. Thanks for the link !
