The day has finally arrived!!! Rem 870 DM

I'm sorry but I agree. WHY? Some say it is faster to change mags .
Is it faster to go empty and change mags than to top up your tube mag from a saddle as you go?
I dont particpate in 3 gun but cant you get tubes that are 10 rounds,
I guess I just dont get it



I guess if you had a really short shot gun the mag would be an advantage

I agree, though I do see the use for home defense. Of course if you fumbling around in the dark with mags, might as well be fumbling around with shells. I don't really have a gun for home defense myself. The handgun sits on the shelf of my safe with a couple loaded mags, I guess I would grab that after I try to find the key to unlock the safe.
 
Remington is a bit to late this should have happened few years ago. I don't really like how they attached magwell, but I will choose it over most other ones that inflated market lately.

Sorry I am not usually negative about new guns, but this thing looks like an answer to a question nobody asked. I guess I just don't get it. It has a full mag tube (yes I know for the pump) and then a magazine added, so I take my 870 and add substantial weight to it, then it holds as much as a mag tube would anyway. On top of that, it is ugly as sin and I wouldn't want this huge mag hanging out the bottom when out in the woods. Plus it appears to be made like something I would bolt on in my garage, I really question how reliable it really is. I am glad some of you appreciate it, I know it isn't something I will ever own.

I would rather ride a Vespa than own one of these magazine fed shotguns.
And I am particularly fond of Remington 870 Wingmasters.
But, to each there own I suppose eh?

The definition of "now" is a 12.5 Griz racked open in the camper with a mag there when the real Griz knocks on your trailer. That is the advantage of a mag fed shottie! Clack, rack, ready in 2 sec.

Hit the nail on the head with this one. What’s the point of this exactly? All the shotguns you have pictured would hold more with full length tubes than the boxes, and as long as the tubes don’t go past the muzzle you keep the profile of the shotgun. With this box magazine you change the guns profile to something very awkward AND with less capacity. Guys looking to use this for hunting or bear medicine/bush wouldn’t you rather a shotgun with a full length tube because it’s shaped better and has less things protruding? Action shooting guys might like this but you lose the ability to move and top off at the same time, with this you’d have to change mags which might be a plus but I’ve always like the ability to top off the tube on the move. The mag release on it looks awkward to use as well, you can tell this is a pump converted to take mags as opposed to a shotgun being built from the ground up to be box fed. And as far as having the slide back on a mag fed shotgun there’s nothing stopping you from doing that with a tube gun.

Can you explain what are the shortfalls of the sap6 ? I'm new to guns but need backcountry packable protection. I was going to buy one.

For backcountry protection forget the mag feds. You need something slim, just over 660mm to remain non restricted, fits in a sleeve nicely, weather resistant.
 
Spare 3 and 6 round should be landing soon along with more 870 DM's. We'll let you know when stock is headed out to dealers.
