Welcome to NWFA, the 870 is an excellent choice.

Welcome to NWFA, the 870 is an excellent choice.

I felt it was a good choice too. They really wanted me to get an AR but I felt a shotgun is a good first choice for a first gun. I got it for home protection. I will need to find a good place to shoot it so I'm used to it and can work on my aim etc. I do plan to go get a handgun and maybe an AR later on.

Welcome to the site and welcome to the state. I too recently got an 870. I think you made a wise choice.

Get an AR lower receiver now. No state paperwork, no waiting period, just instant federal computer check by the FFL. You can buy the upper receiver / barrel / other components later.

There are thousands of very knowledgeable people here at NWFA. Welcome.

I believe West Coast Amory in Bellevue has a shotgun beginners course they run, solid instructors also. I chose the Remy 870 Marine Magnum about 20 years ago and it's been my go-to for home protection.

Oh wow! How awesome! I'll check them out and see how they are. I've shot guns before and I'm aware it's got a kick to it. I know how to stand with it but getting that experience in with my own gun is good. I got slugs for mine as they were out of the regular ammo. I don't need the ammo for ducks/plates etc. The guy told me that the regular ammo comes in next week as they sold out. I look forward to shooting my gun soon!

Welcome to NWFA!!

The 870 is one of the quintessential home defense and hunting guns, a mighty fine choice there.

It is unfortunate that current stock is so low right now. Because IMO #4 Buck is some of the best HD ammo available. Much less chance for over penetration than #00. Of course this is highly subjective so YMMV

Ok, ok let me figure out how to attach pics lol

Attaching images is FAR easier on a home PC

The870 has all kinds of aftermarket stuff to make it to what suits your needs best.

Not in Washington it isn't. Unless you get an AOW or non-shotgun "firearm" ( Serbu Super Shorty or Mossberg Shockwave respectively)
