I wouldn't trade. I was all set to buy a new G17 last year but then I found out you shouldn't dry fire them. If you do this a lot the firing pin and slide will break. If you don't believe me call Glock and ask. They will tell you to always use snap caps. I guess the reason as to why they break...

As I said in another post I bought a new Ohio made Ithaca 37 defense 8 shot model and it is the nicest production made shotgun I have ever bought. My Browning BPS is also very nice, but it's a hunting shotgun. Browning dose show on their site a new tactical BPS model for sale.

Both are good guns. I've had both. But I'll throw this in, Ithaca 37 defense. I just bought one and the quality is outstanding. My last 590a1 and 870 don't even compare to my new 37. Fit and finish is near perfect. I read some people complain that the 37 defense is hard to clean do to the fixed...

They are made in Turkey

I agree with milkmaster on the 37 defense model. The new Ithaca's coming out of Ohio are fantastic. They may be a little hard to come by in some areas, but if you can get one I would. They don't have a lot of custom features but that's how I personally like my SGs. Their customer service is...

I believe those BPS tacticals were a limited run model. I know Gander Mountain carried them but they told me that when their inventory was gone they wouldn't get anymore. I also believe Buds guns had some, but those might be gone as well. Last time I was on the Browning website they had a new...

John where are all your facts that they are a crap company? I'm not saying they don't have QC issues but name one gun company that doesn't now days. I've had issues with Mossberg twice in the last few years. Both were with the 590a1. The high end Mossberg SG. It's people like you that want to...

Oh and a lot of the negative feedback you will read online stems from people who hate anything new and insist that only older guns are the best. This may be true for some things but new guns do have some advantages now days. I'm sure folks will disagree with me but oh well.

I was in the same boat as you. Gun companies are not as bad as they seem. Like anything else now days you take a chance when you buy something new. I had a NIB 870 express a couple of years ago and it was just fine. I sold it because I needed the money. Like I said, if you buy a new gun and you...

Every gun manufacture has crappy quality control now days. Not just Remington. I've read some real damning horror stories about QC problems with all the top gun companies. So it's not far to say Remington is the worst. As far as the QC issues I've seen with the 870 it almost always has to do...

I saw a new wingmaster a few months ago and it looked real sharp.If your worried about QC issues, you could buy a basic custom 870 from AI&P Tactical. There cheaper in cost then a stock police mag and better than a stock express. They start out as a stock 870 express and are customized into a...

If Remington makes such garbage, shouldn't they be out of business by now:rolleyes:

I might pick up a new SG next month but I can't decide between the AIP Tac. 870 or a Mossberg 590a1. I like the idea that the AIP is a custom gun but I read where it is very hard to fix the ejector spring on an 870. However with a Mossberg it just screws in. Also I don't really care for the...

Having owned a BPS for a short time I can't really say if their the best all purpose gun, though that's why I bought one. However when I got it it was a breath of fresh air to see such a nice quality made pump gun for under $600. I wish I never sold it.:banghead:

I'll give a vote for Mossberg;) I'd say for tactical use either Mossberg or Ithaca. For hunting and sporting you really can't beat the BPS. I've never seen a BPS with poor fit and finish. I guess I'm not really a fan of Remington (haven't had good luck with them) though the older ones are rock...
