Still have mine from 1970 when I was still in school. Wish it would chamber 3”, but it still works perfectly. Quite a few of these were visible in the rear window of beat up pickups in the high school parking lot back then.
It is hard to beat at 870 for affordability and reliability but my go to now is a Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol, 7+1, lightning fast, no chance of short shucking it and the gas operation eats up some of the recoil on heavy buckshot loads. On the other hand it costs way more than an 870.
I’ve had my 870 Express for 32 years! It still sits in my safe ready for whatever I might decide to use it for!
