However, that’s where the similarities end, as the 887’s metal components are fully encased in a 0.041-inch glass-filled nylon overmold the company claims is impenetrable by water and fully protects the gun’s metal surfaces from corrosion. The 887 starts with a steel receiver and a hammer-forged barrel of 4140 steel reminiscent of the 1100 and 870 platforms. However, the heart of the 887 is still very much what caught the industry by storm last year: Remington’s proprietary ArmorLokt coating.
With a shorter barrel, magazine extension and sections of Picatinny rail atop the receiver as well as along the barrel clamp, the 887 Nitro Mag Tactical offers considerable value at $498. Remington answered that call this year with the 887 Nitro Mag Tactical, making several key changes to the field version that result in a very solid out-of-the-box entry gun in the tactical shotgun market.
Its lines are contemporary and its construction is a bit radical, a perfect concept for the utilitarian defensive shotgun. It’s a different animal, if you will-a new idea in shotgun making.
