I have had one of these for two years and have not even fired it yet. It's like a piece of art and is just so nice to look at and fondle!
It is very robust, well built with nearly perfect fit and finish and excellent ergonomics. There is a reason you don't see them come
up for sale very often. They are the type of gun that even if someone wanted to sell one, there's a good chance that a friend or family
member would snap it up before it went up for sale on a forum such as this one.
 
tagged for interest.
No price given, and I'm interested in the diff. between the LEO version and normal.
 
you likely won't find a police marine magnum. Catalog REM25047

Has rifle sights on it. I don't know what the underlying model of the gun above is (express or wingmaster?) but this is a generic list for the 870 police obviously referring to blued versions:


870 Police shotguns go thru a special 23 station check list – ranging from visual inspection, functional testing, test firing, and final inspection.
All Police shotguns are assembled in a “special build area” at the plant in Ilion, NY. This section is secured and serves only to build LE and Military shotguns, with the same factory personnel working at that assignment each shift.
All parts that enter the “special build area” are visually inspected by hand to ensure top quality and functionality.
Due to heavy recoil in buck and slug loads, all 870 Police guns have a longer magazine spring which ensures positive feed and function.
A heavier sear spring is used to generate a reliable, positive trigger pull between 5 and 8 lbs.
A heavier carrier dog spring is used to ensure when the carrier elevates the shell, it will be held there until the bolt can push it into the chamber. This ensures positive feeding when using heavier payload rounds.
Police shotguns do not have an ISS (Integrated Safety System) which is a locking mechanism on the safety of commercial shotguns. This type of locking mechanism can cause delay to an officer who needs the weapon but does not have the appropriate key. LE shotguns have the standard, proven, cross bolt safety.
The fore-end on the Express model is longer and not compatible with many police shotgun vehicle racks.
The Police shotguns utilize the heavy duty SPEEDFEED Stocks and Fore-ends.
The Express model will not allow for the addition of an extension tube without physical modification to the tube and barrel, which can nullify the warranty.
The Express model has a BEAD BLAST BLUE finish while the Police models utilize either High Luster bluing or Parkerization.
The Express model utilizes a synthetic trigger housing while the Police models use a compressed metal housing.
The Police shotgun barrel is locked down with a “ball detent” system in conjunction with the magazine cap vs. a lesser grade “synthetic magazine spring retainer” lock down as used on the Express system.
The receivers used in Police guns are “vibra honed” to smooth out rough finishes and remove burrs before parkerization or bluing.
Police shotguns use machined ejectors and extractors, as opposed to powdered metal cast which are utilized on the Express models.

^^^^ nice.... also like the leather shell holder. Where did you find that?

On eBay. I forget the name of it but it was only $15. I custom cut the shroud and ruffed it up and those are Boyd’s classic walnut stocks. It’s kind of an older look. The guys love shooting her. We call it the “inferno”
 
I have the police version, it said so on the box flap but not on the receiver, has this changed?

I'm told all Police models should have it.

The Police models also have all machined inner parts instead of PIM and are made in a different plant with a tighter QC process.
