Remington 870 Express Home Defense Shotgun

The 870 Express represents the gold standard in pump-action shotgun design—a platform refined through decades of real-world use by law enforcement, military, and civilian shooters alike.

Purpose-Built for Home Defense

This 12-gauge variant is specifically configured for the demands of home protection. The 18.5-inch barrel provides the maneuverability essential in confined spaces while maintaining the stopping power that makes shotguns the preferred choice for defensive work.

Key Features

• Barrel Length: 18.5 inches with fixed cylinder choke for consistent shot patterns
• Overall Length: 38.5 inches—compact enough for practical home defense use
• Weight: 7.5 pounds—manageable for extended handling
• Stock: Hardwood furniture with satin finish for a classic, reliable appearance
• Metalwork: Non-reflective finish minimizes light reflection in low-light conditions
• Capacity: 4+1 (four rounds in magazine tube, one in chamber)

Versatility and Reliability

The 870 platform's greatest strength lies in its modularity. This shotgun accepts all standard Remington 870 replacement barrels, allowing you to adapt the gun for different purposes—from hunting to sport shooting—without purchasing an entirely new firearm.

The pump action is smooth, reliable, and requires no batteries or complex mechanics. It functions in all weather conditions and demands only basic maintenance.

A Proven Design

The 870 has earned its reputation through performance. It remains the most popular pump shotgun in America for good reason: it works, it lasts, and it does exactly what you ask of it.
