My 870 Police shipped out today! EDIT: Pics inside
This thing is all the tacti-cool one needs. Guns are no different than cars, watches, etc to me. I like them to be classy, timeless, and functional.
She's an 870 Police Magnum 24899. Walnut furniture and high-polished blued steel. Identical to the ones in the thread below. I was chatting with my dad about his 870s while home for the holiday, and I mentioned that I wanted to get one of these while a few shops still had them NIB. These are getting very hard to come by. Later that night, he told me to order one as my Christmas present for the next few years. Two days later, the day before I ordered it, he called me and told me to order two of 'em. Hahaha.

Ed's Public Safety, who has fantastic customer service so far, now only has three of these remaining. Production ended on the blued model in 2010, and Remington has said they have no plans to build more.
It might eventually get a Choate extension (no clamp to scratch the barrel), a new follower, a big safety for easier manipulation, and a newer supercell recoil pad. Other than that, I'm just going to keep her clean and run a crapload of shells through it.
Will get pics when I pick them up. Ed's shipped 'em overnight for me, so it may even be tomorrow. Man, I love the feeling of getting a new gun.
Edit: She's here and all clean.
