I am a new 870 owner and had a question about unloading. I keep my 870 cruiser ready at home but when i go to the range I need to unload the magazine before traveling. The Remington manual states that you should cycle the action and dump the shells through the ejection port. I have read a couple of Internet guides that state you should empty the first shell from the magazine through the ejection port and the remainder by turning the shotgun over with the action open and pressing on the tang holding each shell in the magazine and unload through the loading port.
Is one method preferred over the other? I would have the safety ON in either situation. I guess by only cycling the first shell from the magazine through the ejection port there is less chance of an AD?
Dave et al,
Thoughts?
Thanks,
