The Remington 870 Field Compensator 20-gauge shotgun with 21-inch and 20-inch rifled barrels and 3-inch chamber delivers the pump-action reliability that has defined this platform for over 60 years. With more than 11 million units produced worldwide, the Model 870 remains the best-selling shotgun of any type in history—a distinction earned through proven durability, smooth bind-free operation, and consistent performance across diverse field applications.
The dual rifled barrels—21 inches and 20 inches—provide flexibility for different shooting scenarios, while the 3-inch chamber accommodates both 2.75-inch and 3-inch magnum loads for increased payload options. The rifled barrel configuration delivers superior accuracy when using slugs, making this configuration valuable for tactical applications, hunting, or training scenarios where precision matters. The 20-gauge platform itself offers reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge counterparts without sacrificing practical stopping power, a critical advantage for extended training sessions or operators managing multiple follow-up shots.
This configuration suits law enforcement trainers, sport shooters transitioning to slug accuracy work, and users seeking a lighter-recoiling pump shotgun for tactical training. The interchangeable barrel system allows shooters to match barrel length to task—the shorter 20-inch barrel for confined spaces, the 21-inch for extended sight radius and velocity. Weighing 9.63 pounds, the 870 Field Compensator balances controllability with sufficient mass to manage recoil impulse, critical during high-volume range sessions or tactical exercises.
The pump-action mechanism is legendary for reliability—no complex gas tubes, no springs bleeding energy, just proven mechanical simplicity. Field stripping and maintenance require minimal tools and training, supporting rapid gear-ready protocols. The Remington 870 platform remains the reference standard for shotgun design; if introduced today it would represent a major advancement in strength, durability, and smooth operation.
