It remains a highly popular game shotgun in the civilian market as well.

The system can also accept a variety of ammunition including slug, buckshot and flare rounds. The Model 870 is touted as a super-reliable weapon and comes in full-stocked or the pistol grip variants. The system can also be used to fire tear gas canisters in the riot-control role.
